Maple Lane Farms invites you to take part in the New England apple picking tradition. We have more than a dozen varieties of apples planted on nine acres of lush farmland. From the good old standbys like McIntosh, Cortland, Golden Delicious and Macoun to new varieties such as Honeycrisp, Jonagold, Fuji and Gala, we feel we are on the cutting edge of new and improved fruit for our customers. Our trees are dwarf varieties, which utilize space efficiently and makes for easier and safer picking. The trees don't grow any higher than seven feet so even the smallest picker can easily reach the apples. Bring a picnic and make it a family tradition.

Apple picking is from September to the end of October. We are open
Thurs - Sun 10-4. The price is $.85/lb. and we will supply the bags.
Please call our 24 hr. information line at 860-887-8855 to get
up-to-date information.
