They move quickly too, as there was a line, that I was hesitant to join, but when I realized how fast it was moving I was willing to be "patient". They have so many varieties to choose from, our favorite our Honeycrisp - they were so sweet and delicious. I feel like that is a sign of a well kept orchard. If you don't want to pick your own they do have pre bagged apples too in the store. They also have baked good treats and candy covered apples. The prices are very reasonable compared to other orchards more toward Southern Maine. It's a no frills type of place, but who needs that when you just want a bag of apples. The tractor ride was entertaining for our nephew. It can get a little chilly and "exhaust fumey" but it's a fun tradition. Parking can get a little tricky since it relies on people to have good spacial awareness. LOL Oh well, trips there shouldn't take you more than an hour. I recommend this orchard if you are in the area.

We were visiting Jefferson Maine for the week and wanted to take the kids blueberry picking-first time for them, nostalgia moment for us. It was wonderful! The owners were so nice and helpful. When you are done picking, they have a little store with lots of blueberry products, including homemade pies, whoopie pies (a Maine tradition) and ice cream in case you got hungry while picking blueberries. (In which case, you must be doing it wrong and forgetting to taste test the blueberries!) if you don't have time to pick your own, they also have lots of freshly picked ready to go in their fridge for you to grab and go! I highly recommend them!

And an orchard big enough that you won't be on top of other families. Regardless of what you're looking for, Libby & Sons - year after year named ONE OF THE BEST ORCHARDS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY (literally, friends) - has everything you could want from a PYO experience. The corts and macs are always crisp and delicious; the blueberry options are lovely whether you want sweet or tart; the juicy donut peaches are unlike anything I've ever had anywhere (#TeamTangO)... in general, the picking is abundant and plentiful year after year after year. And they do a fantastic job daily updating their website with what's in season, out of season, picked out for the season, pricing structure (it makes sense if you know how hard they tried to stay open during the pandemic/the cost of growing quality and environmentally conscious fruits), etc. The views of the surrounding countryside are breathtaking. The glazed blueberry donuts are the best blueberry donuts I've ever had from anywhere ever. And the people who work here are absolutely the friendliest human beings on earth and genuinely remember you year after year. They make you feel like a welcome part of their family, and I love that (especially in a more automated, less personalized society). If you ever get the chance to talk to the owner about the science of apples (pomology) or the history and future of their personal agricultural story, you absolutely should. I am a more educated, more loyal customer of theirs now because of it!

We went berry picking at Bradbury Berry Farm on a Sunday morning in late July…read more The grass parking lot was quite full when we arrived but we found a space and as people left spaces opened up. The owner greeted us, explained the prices and gave some picking suggestions. He was very pleasant. Raspberries were scarce at this point in the season but blueberries were plentiful on the bushes. They were clustered like grapes on the vine. These are high bush blueberries and the picking was easy. Our group picked 5 quarts, $8 each, blueberries and 1 pint, $5, raspberries in less than an hour There's something special about berry picking in Maine now I can't wait for my blueberry muffins.

It's too bad that some people apparently had a hard time there. Jumping over rows is rude and harms the crop they work very hard to produce. It's very hard to find workers for jobs like this now and sometimes you get a bad "berry". It happens. If people would pick properly no one would feel the need to yell. I enjoyed my time there and picked what I wanted fairly quickly. The woman weighing was pleasant and I enjoyed speaking with her while paying for my treasures. YUM!

It's…read moreunfortunate that it's difficult to find good help on a farm setting especially these days but if there is an issue, instead of leaving unhappy, please take it up with the owner. He is a fair man and that way he can become aware of the problem. My boyfriend and I worked on the Popp farm and the Popps paid us very very well to those who might need a good job working outdoors. David is a fair man to work for. And if there's good berries, don't let the ignorance of others ruin your time. I stood up to them. It's ignorance. And as long as they think they can get away with it they will continue. We need to support our local farmers. It's hard work. And that is a family's dream there on the bank of the river. I hope if anyone with a good attitude who needs work will apply. David needs reliable, honest people. We need to all do our part to help break down that kind of behavior because when when your kids go to school, they are facing the children of those same people. Susan G.

Omg, so very delicious. I am a huge sausage snob and eat 90% local. Sad to say most local sausages that I've tried have been on the lean side, so they cook up on the dry side. These sausages were juicy and very flavorful. The lamb sausage was out of this world, the hot Italian was perfect and the n'duja was a fantastic flavor-bomb. Broad Arrow meats are by far some of the best around. Once the new space is finished, I will happily drive the 45 minutes to dine there. I can't wait! Sigh...
