“Beautiful orchards, super friendly folks there. I recommend going earlier in the season if you want different types of apples though. We scored some of the tastiest and juicy Cortland apples I have ever had. They have cider, cheese, potatoes, and already picked apples in their store. We also got a huge pumpkin! I can't wait to go back next year! Highly recommended!”
“An absolutely adorable and quaint apple orchard — a must-stop on your way to Bar Harbor! The apples were crisp, fresh, and so delicious. Large variety. The whole place gives off the perfect fall vibe — colorful leaves, cozy charm, and that sweet apple scent in the air. It’s such a lovely experience and the perfect way to enjoy a little taste of Maine in the fall.”
“In love. What can I say. Stopped by on our way to Portland. It was their very last day of the season :/ so we didn’t get to experience everything or cider, but how cute is this place?! We got some apples and some Amish molasses. The drive to the orchard had the most amazing picturesque drive!! Unbelievable. Fall colors were spot on.”
“Loved it. Such a friendly staff, .70cents a lb when we were there. We left with a bag full equalling 13lbs, very reasonably priced. Plenty of different varieties of apples and they all were delicious. They also offer wagons to pull through the rows! Great overall experience.”
“One of the Best Apple Orchards I have been to...multiple varieties of Cortland, McIntosh, Honey Crip...highly recommend. More importantly the people there are super friendly.”
“Beautiful apples and the trees are loaded! Never overcrowded and very reasonable priced. They also sell gourds ,pumpkins, cheese and cider! Nice rural setting.”

“So much fun to pick apples in the fall. Great prices and delicious apples.”
