“Its been a very long time since going to an apple orchard. Was looking to quench our thrist with some fresh apple Cider & hardend Cider. Located on a hill with a view. The trees are spaced out just right to thrive. A barn type store has easy accessibility. Been family owned for many generations. Lots of Maine made products and Cayford ciders in various container sizes. Welcoming and attractive! Delicious Cider went well with roast beef Italians. Definitely going to have check this place out again.”
“My family and I stopped by on a weekend getaway and had such a good time. My daughter (5) really enjoyed herself and loved looking for the ribbons hanging off the trees with ripe apples. It was such a good easy set up to find different types of apples. The location was so peaceful and beautiful all around. The gentleman working let us know he’s 6th generation there at the orchard which just made everything even better. The best part? We bought 3 types of apples and all are absolutely delicious!”
“Lovely orchard, and absolutely delicious apples. I found the prices fair, and their Cortlands are sweet as candy. Only critique I'd give is parking. It was extremely challenging to make the tiny lot work, and people were getting pretty road-ragey behind me as we all tried to squish in. I think as an orchard getting so much attention and people traveling far to visit, it needs a lot more parking space! Not taking a star off, that was a tiny part of our experience. Overall a wonderful trip.”
“Cayford orchard was absolutely wonderful. We found gala, honey crisp and of course Cortland macintosh mid September. They have over 1,200 trees that are maintained to perfection. The colored ribbons on the trees represent the types of apples. Upon arrival we were handed an info card that explained the different periods in the season each variety was ready. Great day trip and photos. Thank you so much for the experience and delicious apples!”
“Huge variety of apples in local products made from them. We stop here every year to get local striped Macs. Way better flavor than supermarket apples, and the atmosphere of this family-run business is always a treat.”
“Wonderful place, lot's of apples to choose from, well stocked store, friendly staff. Our first visit but definitely won't be our last😊”
“Very pleasent couple run this family owned orchard. Very clean and organized. Nice place for families to go apple picking.”
“Absolutely beautiful area, can't wait to see it this fall. Well managed, well kept.”
