USA Today released a list of 10 best apple orchards on Friday as part of its 2020 10Best Reader’s Choice Awards, and Libby & Son U-Picks in Limerick, Maine, ranked No. 4 and Tougas Family Farm in Northborough ranked No. 6. The No. 1 apple orchard is Beak and Skiff Apple Orchards in LaFayette, N.Y.
“Just being nominated was a great honor and extremely exciting for us,” Aaron Libby, owner of Libby & Son U-Picks, said in a statement. “We are blown away with the results; being voted in the top 5 apple orchards is an incredible accomplishment. It truly is a testament to our wonderful customers and our fantastic staff past and present.”
