Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Lancaster, MA

South Lancaster

The Siver family has run George Hill Orchards since 1974, growing blueberries, peaches, nectarines, apples, and pumpkins for pick-your-own across central Massachusetts. School groups come for the Apple Tree Theater and the Tree-mendous Maze; everyone else comes for the fruit. The farm stays open Sunday and Wednesday through Friday, with self-serve hours extending into the evening, and closes entirely on Saturdays.

Lancaster

Apple Lane Orchard grows heritage apples, including Cortland, McIntosh, and Gravenstein trees planted since the Flint family founded the orchard in the early 1800s. Current owner Dayna Gant, who took over in 2000, runs it as a pick-your-own orchard alongside a Dutch sport horse operation on the same hilltop property in rural Lancaster.

Sterling

Davis Farmland's Mega Maze redesigns its eight-acre, three-mile pattern every year, drawing praise as one of the more complex corn mazes anywhere. The Sterling property also lets kids pet, feed, and ride ponies among its farm animals, plus laser tag; combo admission for maze, farmland, and laser tag starts around $19.95, free under age 2.

Sterling

The Chandler family has grown apples, blueberries, pumpkins, and nectarines on this 100-acre Sterling farm since 1912, now in its fifth generation. The on-site bakery turns out cider donuts, turnovers, and pies, and the farmstand kitchen serves soups, sandwiches, and weekend breakfast alongside seasonal picking.

Bolton

Nicewicz Family Farm in Bolton runs a pick-your-own operation for fruit, vegetables, and flowers, with a separate peony field the family sells from each spring under the name Nicewicz Peonies. Everything comes off 116 Sawyer Road, and hours shift with whatever's ripening that week. Call before driving out — the picking calendar changes fast enough that it's worth checking first.

Bolton

This Bolton location grows Paula Red through Golden Delicious apples across a seasonal picking calendar running late August into October. The family farm pairs its orchard with a corn maze, hayrides, and farm-animal areas, and welcomes leashed pets. It closed for the 2025 season but keeps taking inquiries for event bookings ahead.

Sterling

Clearview Farm is a 32-acre seasonal orchard and farm stand on Kendall Hill Road, run by Rick and Diane Melone. Pick-your-own runs through strawberries, blueberries, peaches, raspberries, apples, and pumpkins as each comes into season, and the stand also sells plants, baked goods, cider, and maple syrup. Open daily, 9am to 6pm through October, then 9am to 5pm the rest of the season.

Still River

Captain Pollard's Flintlock Farm centers on an 1782 Georgian Colonial built by Thaddeus Pollard, a Revolutionary War minuteman, on land that includes an 1830s double English barn and the fourth-oldest American sycamore in Massachusetts. The current owners are restoring the property under its herb-farm identity, 1782 Farm, and offer exterior tours of the grounds. This isn't a pick-your-own stop — it's a historic homestead mid-restoration.

Bolton

Nashoba Valley Winery has made wine on its 50-acre Bolton property since 1978, adding a distillery, brewery, and J's Restaurant alongside the working orchard and vineyard. Visitors can walk the pick-your-own orchard in season, taste wine at no charge, or eat at the restaurant housed in the property's historic farmhouse. Open daily except major holidays.

Sterling

Pineo Family Farm runs a small produce stand in Sterling alongside its sawmill and lumber operation, selling fresh vegetables to the local community while also processing timber into forest products. It's an unusual pairing — working farmstand and working sawmill on the same land.

Sterling

Pineo Family Farm is on Tuttle Road in Sterling, a Worcester County hill town with a mix of orchards and dairy operations. No independent website or listing details were found online.

Leominster

Leominster is better known for its plastics-industry history than its farmland, which makes Woody's Fall Farmstand on Brown Avenue stand out. The name and farm-stand listing point to a seasonal autumn operation, though this farm's specific lineup isn't posted online.

Berlin

Berlin is a small Worcester County town next door to Bolton's well-known orchard country, and Great Oak Farm on Highland Street sits within it under an agritourism listing. No site or contact details describe current operations.

LEOMINSTER

This 169-acre orchard in Leominster is owned by the city and run by the nonprofit Friends of Sholan Farms, not a private grower. U-pick apples, raspberries, and blueberries are the draw, alongside hiking trails through the property — proceeds go back into maintaining the community-owned land.

Berlin

Berlin Orchards traces back 50 years to Chedco Farm, renamed in 1995 after Barry O'Brien expanded the property's apple, pear, and peach production across 200 rolling acres. Visitors pick Macs, Macoun, Jonagold, Mutsu, and Honeycrisp in season, then work through cider donuts, pumpkins, a hayride to the orchard, and a small petting zoo. It's a full fall-outing farm, not just a fruit stand.

Berlin

Indian Head Farm, also known as Cordelia's Farm, has been worked by the same family since the 1830s and is now run by its sixth and seventh generations. The farm grows blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, corn, tomatoes, and a wide range of other vegetables for pick-your-own and farm stand sales.

Harvard

Harvard, Massachusetts has been blueberry and apple country for generations, and Hazel U-Pick on Westcott Road carries the pick-your-own tag to prove it. Current crops, pricing, and season dates aren't posted online.

Harvard

Hammerhead Farm sits on Westcott Road in Harvard, the same stretch that runs through the town's cluster of blueberry and apple growers in the Nashoba Valley. No separate website or listing distinguishes this farm's specific offerings yet.

Bolton

Bolton Spring Farm covers 150 acres on Main Street in Bolton, land that started as a dairy in the early 1800s before Howard Stephenson planted it as an apple and fruit orchard in 1937. The roadside stand, running since 1965, sells more than 25 apple varieties plus peaches, corn, pumpkins, baked goods, and cut-your-own Christmas trees. Pick-your-own apples run in season. Cash only — there's an ATM on site.

Harvard

Carlson Orchards has grown apples on this Harvard property since 1936, and the family operation now runs a hard cider taproom alongside its farm stand, pouring the full current lineup of Carlson-made ciders. It's a working orchard first, with the taproom giving visitors a reason to stick around after the apple bags are packed. The farm store stays open through the harvest season, with cider and fresh fruit sold daily.

Harvard

Doe Orchards farms 60 acres in Harvard growing apples, blueberries, vegetables, sunflowers, and Christmas trees, with pick-your-own and a farm stand as the main draw — no admission charge, no extra fees for wandering the rows. Current summer hours run Tuesday through Saturday, 9am to 4pm, with raspberries and blueberries ready for picking as of this season.

Stow

Applefield Farm started in 1981 when Steve and Kirsten Mong took over a small apple orchard on Great Road; four decades later it's a three-season vegetable operation supplying its own farmstand along with local restaurants and retailers. The stand runs mid-April through October 31, with produce grown on-site rather than trucked in. Hours shift by season — call ahead before a special trip.

Stow

Known locally as Derby Ridge Farm, this fifth-generation Stow orchard grows more than 30 varieties of apples plus peaches and pears across 75-plus acres, and presses its own unpasteurized cider. Pumpkins and Christmas trees fill out the fall and winter seasons, with honey and jam stocked at the farm stand.

Stow

A four-season, certified-organic vegetable and flower farm in Stow working 3 to 4 of its 20 acres, with the rest kept as conservation land. Elena Coleman and Karl Goethert sell through a year-round farm stand, CSA, farmers markets, and wholesale, and welcome visitors to a pick-your-own flower garden and public trail.

Stow

Honeypot Hill Orchard is on Sudbury Road in Stow, in the apple country that runs through Bolton and Harvard along Route 117. The orchard's own website returned no content, and no independent listing confirms current hours or varieties.

Stow

Carver Hill Orchard grows blueberries, peaches, and apples on Brookside Avenue in Stow, with cider donuts drawing as much of a following as the fruit itself. It's open Tuesday through Sunday during the summer season, 9am to 5pm, with picking hours shifting as each crop comes ready. Call ahead for what's currently ripe before making the drive.

Princeton

Princeton sits at the base of Mount Wachusett in Worcester County, home to Mountain Cottage on Gregory Road. It's registered as agritourism, though no website or listing explains what the property offers beyond that category.

Holden

The Lavender Farm Experience is the u-pick lavender program run at SummitWynds Farm in Holden, opening its rows each summer for the Lavender Farm Fest. Visitors cut their own bundles and browse lavender-based products, and can add on the farm's honey and farm-fresh eggs while they're there. It runs as a seasonal event layered onto a working farm, not a stand-alone shop.

Westborough

Sixth-generation and still working roughly 35 acres, Harvey's Farm grows its own produce and transplants and runs a certified garden center out of a converted dairy barn that once held 60-plus cattle. Pick-your-own blueberries and vegetables run alongside a CSA and a gift barn stocked with garden and home decor.

Westborough

Nourse Farm has worked the same Westborough ground since 1722, making it one of the oldest continuously farmed properties in the area. The stand sells fresh fruits and vegetables alongside farm-produced honey, jam, pies, donuts, and bread. Pick-your-own runs mid-June through October for strawberries, blueberries, flowers, and apples, and the property also hosts Assunta's, a food truck serving Italian-inspired farm suppers.

Townsend

Settlement Farm is on Wallace Hill Road in Townsend, a farming town on the New Hampshire border in North Central Massachusetts. No website or listing details were found online to confirm current operations.

Holden

SummitWynds runs as part working farm, part event venue in Holden — raw honey and farm-fresh eggs sold alongside lavender grown on site, with weddings, farm-to-table dinners, and a running calendar of seasonal draws like the Butterfly Experience and Unicorn Experience. Overnight stays are booked through Airbnb. It's less a farm stand than a destination built around the harvest.

Townsend

Townsend sits near the New Hampshire line in north-central Massachusetts, and D.J. Hussey Farm on Burgess Road is registered there under an agritourism listing. No website, phone number, or product list has surfaced in public records.

Groton

Autumn Hills Orchard has been family-run since 1945, and the orchard now carries more than 25 apple varieties alongside peaches, pears, plums, and newer raspberry and blueberry plantings. It's a fruit farm first — no corn maze or petting zoo — open Wednesday through Sunday, 10am to 4pm. The orchard posts picking updates on Instagram and Facebook through the season.

Littleton

Pickard Farm in Littleton is a fall-only pumpkin operation — patch, farm store, and pick-your-own, open weekends 10 to 6 and weekday afternoons 3 to 5 through September and October. Parking is limited, so weekday visits beat weekend crowds if the schedule allows. Outside pumpkin season, the farm stays quiet.

Ashby

Elm Shade Enterprises grows four varieties of blueberries across more than 700 bushes on a quiet stretch of Richardson Road in Ashby, and picking is pesticide-free start to finish. The farm opens Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through the season, weather and picking conditions permitting — call ahead before driving out. There's no farm stand or extra attractions here, just rows of bushes and a bucket.

BROOKLINE

Averill House Vineyard is a small-estate winery on Averill Road in Brookline, in southern New Hampshire near the Massachusetts line. It grows grapes and pours its own wines for tasting on site. The vineyard's website sits behind a bot-protection screen, so current tasting-room hours, the wine list, and any events are best confirmed by phone or through the vineyard directly.

Ashby

Sweet Pumpkins Farm is a seasonal pumpkin stand on George Howard Road in Hubbardston, out in the Wachusett-area farm country north of Worcester. Little else about the operation shows up online, so hours and what's available beyond pumpkins are best confirmed by calling ahead once fall arrives.

Pepperell

Four generations deep on 176 acres, Kimball Fruit Farm opens strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, apples, pumpkins, and flowers to pick-your-own visitors seven days a week from late April through Thanksgiving. Hours run 9am to 6pm, later in summer.

Dunstable

Patenaude Farm sits on River Street in Dunstable, listed as a working farm stand serving the town's stretch of the Nashua River valley. Details are thin online — no working farm website turned up in research — so the most reliable way to check current hours or what's available is a direct call to the farm.

Sudbury

Blue Meadow Farm is a full-service equestrian center on 27 acres in Sudbury, offering boarding, lessons, and training rather than produce. The barn holds 24 matted stalls plus indoor and outdoor riding arenas, built in 2011.

Hubbardston

Nampara Farm runs a CSA on Bemis Road in Hubbardston, combining its own produce with goods from partner local farms plus art and fair-trade gifts at the stand. Community pickup is central to how the farm describes its model.

Birchwood Orchard is an apple orchard on Old Turnpike Road (Route 124) in Mason, a hill town in New Hampshire's southwest corner. Orchards up this way open picking around Labor Day and run through October. A farm website appears to be under construction but isn't live yet, so check locally for the varieties on offer and current picking hours.

Upton

Town Line Dairy Farm raises its own beef, pork, lamb, and pasture-raised chicken and turkey on land that's been in the same family for generations, going back to original owners Edward and Stephie Kuczinski. The on-site store sells the farm's meat alongside free-range eggs and a rotating stock of local goods. A pizza truck sets up on the property some summer weekends. It's a working farm rebuild, not a polished agritourism stop, and that's part of its appeal.

Brookline

Kinney's Farm is in Brookline, a small Hillsborough County town near Milford and Hollis in southern New Hampshire's farm belt. Listed as an agritourism farm, it keeps little presence online. Contact the farm to learn what's for sale and when it's open.

Sutton

Keown Orchards grows apples on McClellan Road in Sutton, next to Foppema's Farm in the same pocket of Worcester County orchard country. Its old web domain is now parked for sale, and no current listing confirms whether pick-your-own hours still run.

Sutton

Foppema's Farm grows strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, plums, and apples across the season, with sweet corn, tomatoes, and winter squash filling out the vegetable rows. Fall brings pumpkins, winter squash, and fresh-pressed cider. The farm sells from its own stand and also runs tables at the Copley Square and Natick Common farmers markets, and accepts SNAP and HIP benefits. Open Monday through Saturday, 9am to 6pm.

Millbury

Stowe Farm covers 60 acres and mixes livestock breeding with recreation: Basset Hounds and poodle mixes for sale, horseback riding lessons, dog training and boarding, and a summer camp for kids who love animals. Come fall, the farm opens pick-your-own apples and pumpkins, a country store, and a fall festival with live music.

Millbury

Hawk Hill Orchards has grown apples, peaches, and plums on Carleton Road since Kent Stowe took over the family homestead in 1997, continuing a fruit stand his parents started decades earlier. The name comes from hawks that nest on the property. Pick-your-own visitors come mostly for the Northern Spy apples — an old variety that grows unusually large here, juicy enough for cider and firm enough to hold up in a pie.

Concord

Silferleaf Farm in Concord grows one crop — certified organic red raspberries — and opens to pickers only during raspberry season, closing the rest of the year. It's a small, single-purpose operation on Strawberry Hill Road, the kind of farm built around doing one thing well rather than stretching into pumpkins, trees, or a corn maze. Call ahead; the season window is short and weather-dependent.

Greenville

Washburn's Windy Hill Orchard opens for pick-your-own apples each September and October, with more than 700 trees on Mason Road in Greenville. The farm also cuts a five-acre corn maze, grows a pumpkin patch, and fries apple cider donuts it bills as the best in New Hampshire. Free weekend hayrides, farm animals, and a gift shop stocking local maple syrup and honey round out the fall season.

New Ipswich

Smith's Blueberries grows blueberries on Turnpike Road in New Ipswich, in the Monadnock region of southern New Hampshire. Pick-your-own and pre-picked berries typically run through the summer weeks; contact the farm for current picking conditions and hours.

Greenville

Barrett Hill Farm is on Greenville Road in Greenville, a Monadnock-region town in Hillsborough County near Mason and New Ipswich. Listed as agritourism, it publishes little about its crops or hours. Reach out to the farm to find out what it grows and when to visit.

Dunstable

McLoon Farms has grown organic strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries at the corner of Route 113 and Thorndike Street since 1995. Picking is pick-your-own and seasonal, following whichever berry is ripening — strawberries open the season, brambles carry it into late summer. It's a small, family-run operation rather than a destination farm with a gift shop or café, so call ahead to check what's ready before making the drive.

Leicester

Breezy Gardens, run by Kim and John Miczek on the Leicester-Spencer line, farms 65 acres of produce including sweet corn alongside a nursery stocked with perennials, trees, shrubs, and herb collections. Fall brings pre-booked school field trips, hayrides to a pick-your-own pumpkin patch, a corn maze, and llamas to meet. Plants go on sale starting in May, with the farm open daily through the season.

hollis

Fulchino Vineyard makes American wines with an Italian accent on Pine Hill Road in Hollis, in southern New Hampshire. Tastings come with salami, prosciutto, artisan cheese, bread, and dipping oil, served indoors or out on the patios. The estate also runs an on-site restaurant, Cucina di Mirabella, plus a wine club and space for private functions and tour groups.

Whitinsville

West End Creamery in Whitinsville combines an ice cream stand, mini golf course, and an Adventure Farm petting area under one roof, open daily from 10 a.m. The fall lineup adds a corn maze and harvest festival running mid-September through October. It reads more like a family entertainment stop than a working farm, though the Adventure Farm keeps animals on site year-round.

Sutton

Silvermine Farm sits on Eight Lots Road in Sutton, listed as an agritourism stop offering pick-your-own produce and seasonal activities. Current crops, hours, and contact details aren't published online, so calling ahead is the safer bet before visiting.

Leicester

Blue Lake Alpacas raises a herd of alpacas on Burncoat Lane in Leicester, started by Australian transplants Benton and Marcia. Beyond a local newspaper mention from 2009, the farm keeps a low profile online — no current website or hours are published, so a call ahead is the safest bet.
