September-October

Enjoy the full apple-picking season at Poverty Lane Orchards! Relax and feel at home, set up picnics, roam acres of orchard (the kids can’t run too far, there’s a tall fence around the whole place.)
We start in early September with Macs and Cortlands. Soon the Macouns come on, then rarer apples such as Wickson, Calville Blanc d’hiver, Ashmead's Kernel, Golden Russet, Esopus Spitzenberg and more. The apple crop is huge in most of our orchards, it's an amazing sight.
Later PYO varieties include Golden Delicious, Newtown Pippin, and Baldwin.
DIY hard-cider makers can even pick bittersweet cider-apple varieties, mostly Dabinett, some Harry Masters Jersey...

ALWAYS CALL (603)448-1511 for freshest info about availability! (Apple harvests are unpredictable.)
 
For example: this year, the zoo of heirloom apples didn't crop strongly. There are some apples there to check out and pick, but we're not advertising it this year.

Plus we offer tractor-drawn wagon rides on fair weekends, two walking loops (1/2 and 1.2 mile) through orchards and woods, and in general a big peaceful place to explore, relax and hang out. Your dogs can come along, as long as they're on leash and you pick up after them.

There’s a wholesale harvest going on too: It's fun to see our picking crew roll through the yard with big loads of apples!

Taste the changing season with us:  different apple varieties come in as the days grow more crisp and colorful. Celebrate fall, fruit, and open-air fun!

Activities at the orchard:
Trailer rides through the pick-your-own orchards on nice weekends (not fun in the wet).
Orchard & woods walks whenever we're open.
Plain old exploring. Orchards are amazing!
Sitting around at picnic tables or in our wandering orchard chairs, also plenty of space to bring your own chairs or blankets and hang out in the orchard, or roam! Groups or parties welcome (call ahead to reserve picnic tables).
