It's time to start thinking about your annual pilgrimage to Lyman Orchards. The 275-year old farm has been a fixture in the community for centuries and now is known as a destination you can't afford to miss.
The 1,100-acre farm and orchard is covered with fruit-bearing bushes and trees. During summer and fall, visitors flock to the fields to harvest their own bounty from berries to apples.
The family-friendly farm always has something special going on for the kids. Right now, you can get lost in their sunflower maze with over two miles of twisting turning paths!
After time spent in the fields, you'll want to make your way to the Apple Barrel Market. Filled with fresh produce, pies, pastries, and much more, you won't leave empty-handed from this sweet-smelling place.
Of course, you'll want to indulge in those apple cider donuts that we New Englanders go crazy for. Handmade right on the premises, there's nothing that tastes quite like them.
Lyman Orchards is known for their incredible apple cider but now they've added delicious cider slushies into the mix. These slushie drinks have your favorite taste but are also an icy dream come true.
Don't forget that pumpkin picking season will be here soon enough. Lyman Orchards will have pumpkin patches, a corn maze, and those fantastic apple cider slushies!
