Ricker Hill Orchards

“I'm from out of town and I'm blown away on how amazing this disc golf course was. The main building has all sorts of items for purchase all the way from maple syrup to disc golf discs. The staff was super nice as well. Large parking lot next to building. $7 bucks to play disc golf. The course was way beyond my expectations. Good signage. I think a total of 23 total holes to play. Really enjoyed the beauty of the course, variety of holes, upkeep, and overall difficulty. Tee pads at most holes. Nice baskets. There are several water hazards (including a cranberry field for staff only)so be careful not to lose a disc. Thank you to whomever designed and installed this course.”

“Amazing experience overall. Yes the mini golf is a little rundown, yet the cornfield was short but fun. The animals were a blast to visit. If you have young kids there is definitely plenty to keep then entertained in the form of bounce houses and playground fun. They carbonated apple cider is delicious. The frozen apple cider was extremely good! Plus they have many other baked goodies and apple goodies to buy!”

“Ricker Orchards, Turner has truly embraced sharing their way of life—and it shows. Everyone came out to experience the sights, smells, and sounds that make Maine Maple Sunday such a special family tradition. It was definitely crowded, but the friendly atmosphere made it worth it. We’ll absolutely be back! Just be prepared for crowds and lots of community spirit.”

“I drove out to Ricker Hill from Brunswick to try their disc golf course. The folks in the shop were so friendly and welcoming, and the apple cider donut was one of the best I've ever had! I wish I lived closer, because the course was really fun. I'm already looking forward to my next trip here.”

“What a sweet little gem we found here in Maine while on vacation in Buckfield. The fresh donuts were a highlight this morning and the apple cider was orgasmic! We are from MA so this was a sweet little country treat!”

“Nice place to visit and get some delicious foos”

“We drove 1.5 hours one way to check out this Orchard. I was surprised how big it was and all the variety of apples they had to pick along with blueberries and grapes. We missed out on the grapes but managed to get some blueberries being the end of the season for them. We didn’t have small children to enjoy the activities but there was a lot for small kids to do. We watched one of the free juggling shows which was entertaining and went to the cider house for some sampling. We should have bought donuts when we first got there because by afternoon, the store was absolute chaos. So many people standing in line made it impossible to actually walk around to see what else was being sold. Only made two flavored donuts at that time. The girl was walking the line taking donut orders in advance to speed up the process but we still missed out on the pumpkin donuts we ordered as they stopped making them. I would suggest having a cashier outside for those who want to buy pumpkins and other outdoor things so we don’t have to stand in line in the store for 1/2 hour holding plants and pumpkins. I would have bought outdoor stuff but didn’t want to go back through the line carrying plants and pumpkins. We did buy some pumpkins at the Apple orchard as they had wagons for use which was nice.”

“3yo son had a great time for hours. The only reason for 3 stars is that there appeared to be a lack of upkeep. Are some awesome activities like the multiple bouncy houses including ones with 2 climbing walls and ropes(son was able to do it with my help on second side) and all bouncy houses were in good shape. standard Sandbox's in 2 large tractor tires as well as an awesome, large corn kernel"sandbox" that my son loved. 2 plastic culvert slides that I was able to get down with my son the first (of many) runs, they are on top of a large sandpile. Was a little tight getting myself out from the bottom but fit in culvert just fine(I am petite and my larger husband was afraid he wouldn't be able to get out at the bottom...). Large wooden ship with many cool ins and outs but steering wheel was broken off and just laying there. Race track type set up with pretty cool pedaling cars but all 3 had broken steering mechanisms does have multiple bouncy balls with handles and animal bouncers too. Had a pit stop tire change setup but only had 1 lug nut that fit(out of 8). Large wooden truck with stick shift but pull up handle on one side was snapped off and 1 wooden "lug nut" was broken off exposing a bolt end sticking out of "tire". Found numerous clothing items and misc items around grounds that had obviously been there a while. Don't recall seeing an employee on grounds the entire time of visit who was hours long. We're many other attractions but the above is what stuck with me. Have included pictures of set up. Would recommend visiting, my son did have a great time and hopefully they get more on top of upkeep of a place open to the paying public. Adults free with child day pass. Great gift shop and tasting room. Didn't do the maze ourselves but heard it is aimed at younger children. Had a great time regardless of noticeable wear. Proves that many a child has been through here....”
