Blue Jay Orchards

“Great place for the entire family. It’s not overwhelmingly large like other places. The abundance of available apples were great. I liked that they had pre-picked apples in bins to choose from and we were able to explore the trees and pick our own. For $20 we got so many apples. The pumpkin area was also great and full of pumpkins of all sizes and colors. It was a nice scenic area for pictures and just a nice chill time with the family. No admission fee which made it a hit for us. Finally, the store has SO many great things to choose from and the apple cider donuts as well as the sparkling apple cider was just so delicious. My only regret was not buying more of the sparkling cider. I highly recommend as a fun family outing.”

“This is the family orchard you've been looking for. Affordable, no lines, amazing market, free parking, and wonderful decorations. Whether it be a stroll through the trees or picking out a pumpkin, this place has it all. It's very interactive for kids and I would buy one of everything in the market if I could. The peanut butter cups are amazing and the pies will knock your socks off. This whole property is also very well maintained by the staff.”

“An amazing orchard. I had such a nice time here picking out my own apples. A few apples are in season now, some are still not ready. Beautiful field. Parking available on site . They have a great store to buy all sorts of goodies as well. Definitely recommend.”

“Classic Cider Mill that offers many items including cider and apples (of course), pies, jams and so much more. I have been going there for over 50 years and remember when they actually pressed the cider on site. Great place to visit!”

“Wonderful place to bring family and friends. Not huge and easy to get around. Great store with wonderful products- orchards are great and kids leave with memories and apple cider donut faces!”

“We went apple and pumpkin picking with the kids for the first time in Bethel, Connecticut. By the time we arrived at 2:00 PM, the cashier informed us that most of the apples were already picked. But we were able to find a few on the ground and some trees. We'll be back next year 2026.”

“I’ve been here a few times. It’s a fun couple of hours for a fall afternoon. There is apple picking, pumpkin picking and the food store. There are baked goods and lots of drag items in the store. Plenty of free parking in multiple lots.”
