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.

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.

Be ready for larger lines than you've ever witnessed. That's the bad part. We went at 2 PM on a Saturday, so that's on us. Maybe it's more tolerable getting there at opening? We wouldn't go back based on the lines, I am not a patient person and I'd rather eat nails than wait 1 hour in line for anything, but it shows they are doing something right over here.

The two of us split a 25$ bag and since no tickets were required, we were able to go for 12.50 each. Despite being busy, the orchard did a good job at separating out the food stalls so the lines moved fast. We got cheeseburgers which were warm and quick. We also got the maple salt cold brews which tasted so fresh and were the perfect fall flavor, while not being too sweet. The cider donuts were classically amazing. Overall, everything was well kept, clean, and perfectly festive for fall. There was a lot to do and see and just walking the orchard was wonderful. The orchard was not picked over and had a lot of apple options despite the amount of people.

There are picnic tables outside where people can sit. Their fresh in-season produce inside the store is always excellent -- corn, berries, etc. We love their homemade pies that they make -- apple, blueberry, cherry, peach, raspberry, and strawberry rhubarb. Crust is very good and the filling is not overly sweet. They are expensive but worth it as a treat. We have purchased plants there and no complaints. (They have seasonal pick-your-own fruit, but we have not done that so can't comment.)

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!

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.

They also do Apple Slushies and crisps, all the apple products are super tasty, but the donuts at $1/per are such a good deal. We went real basic and hit up the orchard as well. Really pretty and picturesque orchard, you'll have plenty of Instagram photo ops. Apples are really tasty as well, just made a pie with 4 cortland and 1 mutsu and it turned out perfect. As long as the donuts stay this tasty, will be back every year for them.

I knew our kids would absolutely love it, so we decided to stop by on Friday. When we arrived, we found out that tickets were required, and unfortunately, they were sold out online. One of the wonderful ladies at the ice cream truck suggested that we speak with the owner to see if there happened to be a cancellation, especially since we had traveled all the way from New Jersey. We spoke with the owner, and he kindly told us that if someone canceled, he would let us take their spot. Honestly, I didn't have much hope because there were seven of us! We decided to stick around and get some ice cream while we waited and I'm so glad we did! Their ice cream was AMAZING. The Cookie Monster was honestly one of the best I've ever had. While we were there, the kids got to see a cow with her baby, ducks, goats, and several other animals. They played, explored, and were genuinely having such a great time. Eventually, the owner's wife came over and let us know that unfortunately, there hadn't been any cancellations. But then something happened that truly touched our hearts. She knew from her husband that we had come all the way from New Jersey and wouldn't be able to come back another time, so she allowed our kids to feed some of the cows anyway without doing the ride, but from the gate. That small gesture meant SO much to us. She took the time to tell us about the cows and the other animals, answer our questions, and make our kids feel so welcome. It's not every day that you come across a business that goes out of its way to be this kind and accommodating, and it genuinely warmed my heart. We had such a fun experience, and the kids are still talking about it! If you're ever in the area, PLEASE go check them out. And definitely try the ice cream, even if you can't get tickets to the farm experience. It's absolutely worth the stop! Thank you for making our unexpected detour such a special memory.
