Alyson’s farm stand opens on August 14th and is open through
autumn. In New England, nature’s
infinite palette dazzles this time of year and Alyson’ offers the best seat in
the house for this extraordinary show. This time of the year is also harvest
time at Alyson’s.
Share the
bounty of Alyson's harvest by visiting our farm stand or satisfy your
adventurous side by picking your own fruit. Each week provides its own taste
treat that always delights--heirloom apples, sour cherries, nectarines, pears,
plums, grapes, pumpkins, and gourds.
Blueberries and raspberries
will be available for picking in early July and peaches will be available for
picking in August. For additional harvest dates and information call us at
(603) 756-9800 or click here to see what is ready for picking each week.
In addition to our seasonal
offerings, Alyson’s farm stand has delightful food for a picnic, fresh-baked
apple pies, unpasteurized apple cider, a large selection of fruit wines made
from Alyson’s apples and peaches, and unique gifts that capture the essence of
New England. Don’t miss taking a wagon ride throughout the orchard, having a picnic
or watching the kids enjoy our fantastic play area.
From November 2 - 29, the Farm stand will be open on the
"Honor System" for apples, pies, chicken pies, cider, gift
items, etc. Please bring cash or a local check as we will not be

credit cards on weekends through the 29th of November.
