Where to Find Apple Orchards in New England

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in New England as you, most likely, have an apple orchard located within close proximity of your home.

Did you know, however, that there are more than 120 varieties of apples to be found in New England at about the same number of apple orchards open to the public?

The New England Apple Association has come up with a comprehensive list of apple orchards in New England. This directory is easy to navigate as you can click on a New England map to find apple orchards, state-by-state: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.

Apple orchard listings have designations of “Pick-Your-Own” and/or “Fruit Stand Available,” contact information and other products sold, as well as the apple varieties available at each farm stand.

While the list is absolutely invaluable for finding apple orchards in New England, I would call ahead to your chosen apple orchard destination to make sure apple picking is available, the operating business hours of apple picking, and what types of apples are present at the time you plan on arriving.

Great job with this list, New England Apple Association — you are the “apple of our eye” when it comes to finding apple orchards in New England!
