Hello! Welcome to our orchard.
In our pleasant shop you will find over 30 varieties of apples which we grow on our small family run orchard on the shores of Pleasant Pond in Richmond, Maine.
|
Besides the delicious apples, we also grow several varieties of pears, plums, peaches,
raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. In season, you'll find fresh tomatoes from our
garden and pumpkins and squash from neighboring farms. We have our own bees who, in
addition to working so hard to pollinate our fruit blossoms, supply us with lovely honey
which we sell in the shop.
All of our produce is put to use in our homemade jams and jellies for you to purchase, and
don't forget some sweet pickle relish or a jar of pickled beets! We use all our varieties of
apples in our on-site freshly pressed cider for a flavor that keeps our customers coming back
for more.
Take home a freshly baked pie and pastry, or how about some home made fudge for your
sweet tooth? Our homemade granola is another special treat!
Our shop opens in late summer, but you can find us at a number of local farmers' markets
before then. We bring an assortment of all our goods to the farmers markets. On Saturdays,
we're at the Bath Farmers Market at Waterfront Park in Bath. Thursday mornings you can
find us at the Boothbay Market at Boothbay Commons.
Some of our apple varieties are in limited supply, please call us for availability! When we
have summer produce, we have our sign out on the road, and you can just drive on down
the driveway and buy the fresh picked berries under our self-service tent.
Our business hours are Saturday, Sunday, Monday 10 until 5, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
10 until 6. We are closed on Tuesdays.
Don't hesitate to call (207 737 4443) for directions or information! We look forward to
seeing you! Please note, we do not have 'U-Pick' at our orchard. We pick our apples and
have them ready for you to buy in our shop.
