Orchards near Shelburne, MA

Shelburne

Mohawk Orchards has run as a pick-your-own operation on the Mohawk Trail in Shelburne Falls since 1984. It's a small operation — a couple of people work the orchard — so hours can shift with the harvest and weather. Call ahead before driving out. The orchard sits along Colrain Road, not far from Kenburn Orchards, a separate farm that visitors sometimes confuse it with.

The farm store stays open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., pressing its own cider and baking pies and bread on site. A deli counter slices Boar's Head meats and cheeses to order for grinders and sandwiches. It's a working farm first — the food service grew up around what they already grow.

Ashfield

Bear Swamp Orchard grew from 5 to about 60 apple varieties on 6 certified-organic acres in Ashfield after opening in 2006. It made apple brandy and hard ciders with wild-yeast fermentation only, no sulfites or filtering, and ran U-pick apples each fall alongside vinegar, jams, and maple syrup. The orchard has since closed; owners announced the closure on Instagram, thanking customers for their support.
