When we asked Boston.com readers for the best places to pick apples in New England, more than 100 people named nearly 40 farms across five states. But there was one clear favorite.
Honey Pot Hill Orchards in Stow, which received the most mentions by far, offers more than 200 acres of orchards, as well as hayrides, mazes, and farm animals. The next most most mentioned farms by readers: Parlee Farms in Tyngsborough and Russell Orchards in Ipswich.
“The apple cider donuts are amazing,” wrote a Boston.com reader about Honey Pot Hill Orchards. “They have a petting zoo for the kids and also a pumpkin patch where you can pick your own pumpkin. Great place.”
Two of the farms chosen by readers — Tougas Family Farm in Northborough and Libby & Son U-Picks in Limerick, Maine, were just named among the best apple orchards in America by USA Today.
Before plotting your apple-picking adventure this season, it’s a good idea to visit a farm’s website due to COVID-19 restrictions that may include capacity limitations, reservation requirements, and more.
