I've always wanted to order one, I think i will this year after reading the reviews. Small dirt parking lot for approx 10 cars maybe? I love driving by this farm everyday and seeing the corn, cows, pigs and occasional turkeys! It's so peaceful and serene. The small lake/pond and rolling hills are like a postcard! Check it out in the fall! From their site: We offer our own grass-fed beef, pastured pork, Thanksgiving turkeys and farm fresh vegetables, as well as our own honey, maple syrup, stone-ground corn meal, firewood, and other products. In the fall, we have pick-your-own pumpkin days. We have several greenhouses, which help us to stay a few steps ahead of Mother Nature.

Wonderful fresh products from local farms ! So glad this is nearby !read more

The apple cider donuts were a 3/5. The best part of the experience was the corn maze which my party really enjoyed. There's a small free parking lot across the street, no street parking.

I was looking for a quieter orchard tucked away from the crowds (and yes, I realize that such a…read morething at the height of the season is nonexistent) but Carver Hill actually fit the bill. From Boston, it's a scenic drive out to Stow. I couldn't stop gushing over the foliage on the way there - I've turned into a total leaf peeper. Carver Hill is absolutely stunning in the fall, definitely worth a trip. Pleasantly surprised to find the lot half-empty when we arrived on the later side of a Saturday but then it filled up by the time we left around 3. To your right, as soon as you drive in, you'll see an area with pumpkins and the farm store - this is also where you get PYO fruit/veggies if you're paying with credit. If you have cash on hand, you can pay for a bag at the little stand right in front of the orchard. A peck (the smaller bag) was $25. I was a little skeptical at the size but it's a good deal if you really pack your apples in there. From there, the apple orchard. Not the biggest I've been to and the selection was understandably limited. We missed the sign to download the QR code for a map of the orchard and so had to rely on a photo of a thin pole with all the names/colors wrapped around it. Don't forget to stop at the store before you leave. I grabbed some pumpkin pie, jam, and an apple cider donut - they also have apple cider slushies and multiple flavors of ice cream. The donut was THE BEST, made fresh, almost falling apart, thick and generous coating of cinnamon and sugar (also tasted nutmeg and allspice in the coating). Absolutely worth waiting in the line for, but make sure to pay first and get a little yellow receipt/tag from the register before you get in line for the donuts.

Lovely experience Apple picking at Honey Pot Hill Orchards this last week…read more Service was great all around despite over an hour wait for the cider donuts (which were most definitely worth the wait). Apples were extremely tasty with great variety and plenty of ladders for picking. My only fret was that the signage at times was not the most clear. And the best part: the ambiance of it all. Perfect cool day in Mass with all the Fall colors and families having a great time... it was such a positive atmosphere. Would totally go again.

I got a small bag for $12.50 which was a great deal. I had no problem with parking. I got a good amount of apples, although I wish the signs for the types of apples were clearer. The main reason my rating isn't higher is due to the policing near the exit. I've been through security at concert venues that were less scrutinizing. When I was leaving, an employee was near the entrance was inspecting the wagon of a family with multiple bags. I didn't hear the entire conversation but I did hear the employee lecturing them about not overfilling the bags. The employee also said to not reuse the bags (something that could be prevented if they wrote the dates on the bags as other orchards do) and understandably the family said they wouldn't come back. Even though I wasn't the target of the apple police, it created an uncomfortable atmosphere. The best part of my visit was the cider donuts. The farm store was disappointingly small with mainly apples and cider available for purchase. Considering the plethora of options for apple picking in MA, I don't plan to return here.

At the farm store, we told the employee that we wanted to pick 4 quarts of strawberries for $40. On the board, it said 2 quarts $25, 4 quarts $40. But I asked for 2 boxes. The Woman told me that I have to buy only 1 box, can not be split. I paid $40 and walked to the field, about 15 minutes. When we got to the field, the employee informed me that 2 people can not pick strawberries to 1 box that we need to buy additional box to enter the field. They did not have any boxes to purchase there. I had to walk back to the front store, buy another box and walk back to the field. I am sorry, but that almost an hour of my time wasted. Plus aggravation of poor customer service. When I got to the store and asked for a refund, because I did not pick any strawberries, i was pointed to the board, where is said no refund. I was handled in the most rude way, wasting $40 of my hard earned money. Sunshine farm provides very poor customer service and lacking human factor. I will never go there again. I will be driving extra 30 minutes to Tougas farm, where employees are always happy to see you, care about customers and their business. It offers so much more!

They recently renovated, upgrading the charming farm stand to a full on rustic market. Fresh veggies, coffee station, frozen goods, jams, chocolate goodies and more. I usually come for the little walk around the farm to see what's growing, the u-pick flower garden, to swing on the swing set, and to see if any farm animals are around. There's a parking lot and picnic tables scattered around. Pricing is reasonable, u-pick is about $15, they used to charge by flower stem. They also host events and have activities for kids. Honestly, Weston is more of a suburb so it's a nice surprise for people when I tell them that there is actually more to see than large homes!

When we arrived to see the big rabbit there the girl that was tending to the bunny was rude to us and said to please step away as she was trying to get it to come to the front so she could place his food bowl inside? Then when the rabbit came to the front she tried to grab it but it ran away from her. My 27 year old Autistic son was trying to see it and was not standing too close but she said he needed to step away as she made it like it was his fault that the rabbit ran to the back again. I'm sorry? but that was just rude of her as we just wanted to get a close look at the cute bunny. She made us feel very unwelcome. I then said to my son c'mon let's go and told him we can come back on a Saturday or something when hopefully she isn't there and that other on-lookers will be there too! I said it right in front of her! We just live the next town over but imagine if we drove a long way and wanted to see the animals and check the place out and were told to keep our distance from the bunny? The rabbit looked just fine and probably would have eaten anyway if he/she was hungry. She made it run back by trying to grab it not my son being there just looking at it. Such rude staff they have there..we won't be back!!

As they are famous for their peaches and apples at the local farmer's market, I really wanted to see the orchard itself as well as have an in-depth chat with one of the owners, Alan, who I got to know when purchasing their amazing produce. They have a really cute farm stand with lots of pumpkins and apples around this time of the year. You also have the option on going apple picking in the orchard and see how the different apples are grown. Alan, who usually doesn't take people on a tour around the orchard, showed me around and explained all their operations throughout the year. It was really eye opening to the farming industry around this region (compared to California where it never stops). Picked up some apples and cider, enjoyed the fall colors before driving through the back route where you can see the Boston skyline from quite a distance. Definitely recommend the non-touristy experience here.

It's been amazing to learn more about these gorgeous animals, and it does a world of good just being around them. You can also tell how well-taken care of the horses are just by how affectionate they are with Carin; she does an absolutely incredible job with them and it shows. She is also an amazing instructor, and I couldn't imagine being taught by anyone else. (Nor would I want to!) I highly recommend Sugar Ridge, whether you've never been on a horse or have a lifetime of experience, Carin's training ability and versatility is unparalleled.
