Belchertown

Phoenix Fruit Farm grows peaches without pesticides or sprays of any kind, on an orchard overlooking the Quabbin Reservoir in Belchertown. Picking happens on scheduled Sunday mornings in August rather than daily hours, and it runs on a pay-what-you-can system — $20 suggested per half-peck bag, cash or Venmo, two-bag limit per customer. There's no bathroom on site, so plan the drive accordingly.

North Brookfield

Brookfield Orchards has stayed family-owned and operated since 1918, and fall apple picking remains the draw at this North Brookfield farm.

It's a seasonal operation built around one thing done well.

Storrs

The Nathan Hale Inn is a 100-room hotel on the University of Connecticut's agricultural campus in Storrs, now operating as the Graduate by Hilton Storrs. It isn't a working farm itself, but its location puts guests near UConn's agricultural shows and the working farmland surrounding the campus.

Fields in the Hadley area supply the cut flowers, with a design studio and shop that's closed Sundays.

Amherst

Bill Gillen has grown vegetables, herbs, flowers, and chestnuts on Brigham Lane since 1985, selling from a self-serve roadside stand open daily during daylight hours.

Woodstock

Norman's Sugarhouse in Woodstock boils its own maple syrup and also sells the equipment for anyone who wants to try sugaring at home. The same operation keeps bees, so the product line runs from maple syrup and maple butter to raw honey and maple candy.

Night maze hours run select evenings, 6:30 to 9:30pm.

A small, no-frills tree lot rather than a full agritourism destination, open through the Christmas season.
