North Star Orchards

“I love this place! I have fond memories of visiting it as a child with my family, and recently brought my husband with me to see the view and pick up some apples. They have a wonderfully scenic orchard, with a spot in the back for picnics or just a thoughtful moment to enjoy the view. The owners are incredibly kind, and they have a wonderful little gift shop when you pull in you can shop for local gifts including dishware, candles, candy, all things apple and more. You can purchase bags of apples and cider there as well, or you can walk around and pick your own based on what’s available that day. If you’re looking for a quintessential New England fall activity, this is it.”

“So gorgeous! Their Empires are the best apples I’ve had in years. The view of the peaks from the orchard is stunning. We were there in the third week in October and the foliage was to die for. Their apple trees are lovely and so full of fruit! The store has a great selection of gifts and small crafts- the pottery is particularly charming. And everyone was friendly and incredibly helpful. We were in the area for a week and North Star Orchards was our favorite spot we visited!”

“We had great time enjoying apple sauce Sunday. There was a huge crowd of people and the apple sauce and toppings we're great! The store had hot cider and apples as well as many items from fudge too puzzles too crafts and cookware. A great little orchard and awesome owners and employees who make it an even better experience! If your in the Madison area stop by and enjoy a real Maine apple orchard!”

“Excellent place to visit. The scenery is gorgeous and the folks who run this place couldn't be nicer. It was super easy to pick our own apples, and be sure to browse the little store. Lots of cute and delicious locally-made items.”

“Wonderful staff! This place is magical and makes for incredible family memories. Applesauce Sunday was so much fun and we enjoyed the wagon ride. The apples are so flavorful and plenty for the picking. I can’t wait to go back.”

“Best apples and more in a beautiful setting. Very knowledgeable and friendly people.”

“We love North Star orchards! We've been picking your own apples for over 20 years.”

“We have visited North Star Orchards in the past. We like to go there every time we visit family in Maine. The apples are ready to pick. We usually ride the wagon, but it was not available when we were out there this fall. I enjoy their apple cider, also. They also have a gift shop.”
