Nothing beats the taste of a freshly picked apple. Especially when you get to select the apple and pick it yourself!  At Autumn Harvest Orchard you can build some great memories and indulge in fresh, healthy apples locally grown in Connecticut. Just bring your appetite, some comfortable foot ware and start picking! 

All picking is from the ground and everyone in the family can participate. Even the tiniest family members.

We will provide bags or containers so you can fill them with your favorite apple varieties. Stock up on your favorite variety or mix and match as you discover new tastes. Our Pick-Your-Own season begins around late July with Pristine and midseason with Redfree and Liberty apples and continues through mid-October with Goldrush and Enterprise. All our apple favorites are Certified Naturally Grown without pesticides or herbicides and are really great for eating, baking or juicing.

Pick-Your-Own is open from late July to late October on Sundays – Fridays 10:00 am -5:00 pm, weather permitting. 

Call or text for updates and request an appointment to plan your trip to Autumn Harvest Orchards!  We request everyone to wear closed toe shoes and no sandals. Stay in the marked ribbon area and don’t climb any trees.
