Store front is very inviting
Tina H.

I'm from Texas so I don't know much about apple picking but this over delivered on what I imagined it to be. The country store is very inviting with beautifully colored pumpkins outside and inside is an overwhelming amount of gorgeous produce to choose from. If you are physically fit, I recommend walking across the street and up the hill to pick your own apples. On a 1-10 scale, its a 1 in regard to easy stroll. The view is amazing and the air is fragrant with the smell of apples. I tried a few different type apples and they were all so good...blew away the best apples I've bought from whole foods. We got some really awesome pictures and it was an awesome stop on my New England Fall Foliage viewing trip. PS: We didn't even spend a dime, we just walked up the hill to look around. We can't take all those apples back to Texas with us but I wish we could. I'd be here every week if it were near me.

Store across the street from the apple picking entrance and parking lot
Vez K.

We got there at noon on Saturday, October 9th and found the parking lot for the apple picking more than half empty. We decided to head first to the store across the street to buy cider donuts and hot apple cider (since we only had breakfast and no lunch). We got the cider donuts inside the store (where they have bags of either cinnamon sugar or plain donuts). To get a mixture of the two kinds and to get our drinks, we had to go outside. The cashier let us pay for everything inside (since we wanted to use a credit card, and they don't accept cc's at the entrance to the orchard), along with our bag for apple picking ($20 for a bag to hold about 20 pounds of apples). 4 people are allowed per bag, so that worked out perfectly. The cider donuts were barely warm and overly sugary. They were okay, and didn't taste like anything special. I was sadly disappointed, especially after reading so many great reviews about how great they are. We even went back after apple picking to buy another half-dozen they claimed were warm, though they too were too sugary and slightly warm. Some of the donuts were a bit moist and better than the others. But overall, they weren't anything special. So sad! I was totally looking forward to it. As for the apple cider and the picnic tables by the outside window, beware! I had yellow jackets (or maybe wasps) swarming around my apple cider! I barely put them on the picnic table for a minute, and they were already all around. I had to carefully stick my hand in and grab my donut bag and cup of cider. We thought the cider was too sweet. :( As for the apple picking, we had an amazing time! It was so nice and peaceful out in the orchard picking apples. The 3 of us took a hay ride (which was actually pretty fun) up the hill on the right and then walked up to the top of the hill and downward tasting apples and picking ones we liked. The best tasting apples were the Crispen (green, though not sour apples) and the Spencer (blue tag; brighter red/white apples). These were crisp, sweet, and crunched very loudly when we bit into them. Delicious! We were there for about 2 hours total, and got pretty exhausted and FULL from trying out so many apples. We took tons of pictures, and had fun doing that. The orchard had very few people, since it's so big and spread out. I recommend starting near the top of a hill and then walking down. Try apples, and then pick what you like when you find ones you like. I would even recommend making note of the ones you like and where they were, and then going back and picking them all at once toward the end. That way, you don't have to haul around a heavy bag of apples with you. Then again, it's fun to pick as you taste as well. When we were leaving at about 2 pm, I noticed the parking lot was about 80% full, the line for the donuts across the street was longer, and almost all the picnic tables were full of people. I guess most people like to go apple picking after lunch. Apple picking - 5 stars Cider apple donuts - 3 stars Hot apple cider - 3 stars Customer service in store - 2 stars (the girls at the cash register were impatient teenagers who didn't seem to wanna be working there) Suggestions: 1. Eat a big breakfast or early lunch before heading out there to avoid a bigger crowd after lunch 2. Sample smaller apples so you'll have room to taste lots 3. Start at the top of a hill and work down so you don't have to carry a 20 pound bag of apples around 4. Go with a group of 2 - 4 people so that you can all share a bag (1 bag = $20 = 20 lbs of apples). They let up to 4 people share one bag for apple picking. 5. Bring some water with you to wash down the apples 6. Eat a non-sweet breakfast with protein; you'll not wanna eat anything too sweet for a while after sampling so many apples and eating cider donuts and drinking apple cider 7. Bring hand sanitizer to use after using the porta-potties (there are no official bathrooms). 8. Wear bug spray and sunblock 9. Allocate about 1 - 2 hours (or more if you'd like) for apple picking 10. Pay inside the store if using a credit card Overall, we had a LOT of fun and loved being able to have the freedom to walk around, taste and eat as many apples as we wanted. The orchard was beautiful, especially at the top of the hill where the hay ride drops you off. It gave a wonderful view and was a nice place to even sit down and have a picnic. :) I'll definitely be going here for apple picking next time I'm in Boston.

Apple dumpling and ice cream (sold separately)
Deb W.

I came here after Nashoba valley sold out of their apple cider donuts, but I'm glad they did because I discovered the best apple cider donuts here! It was crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside! Yum! I also got the apple dumpling. It was okay, nothing special but also nothing to complain about. Tasted like an apple pie. I bought ice cream to compliment the dumpling. I also like that this place has seating and a market to shop and buy things to bring home.

We've been coming to Carver Hill for years, and it never loses its charm. The fresh apple cider…read moredonuts, the pumpkins, and the warm and laid back staff make it a truly special place. Come once the season dies down a little. You won't regret it!

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.

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.

I had no idea that cut/pick your own flowers was a thing, and I absolutely LOVE it - it is brilliant. The flower garden is a 2-acre field filled with a variety of beautiful flowers - very picturesque. These are, as I call them, the bougie, boutique flowers - i.e., not your average and not what you will find at the store. The field is easy to find, located to the right front of the property, so you do not have to go very far. They have a great system in place, both for the flowers and the cutting experience. There is a check-in stand specific to the flower garden at the entrance of the field that you cannot miss. There are two options for your picking size and price: a mason jar for $18.82 or a basket for $75 (2026 prices). They also offer a membership for the season that covers a mason jar pick each week. If I lived a little closer, it is safe to say I would absolutely invest in the membership. If you have the membership, you bring your mason jar back each week and check in at the stand. If you are there without the membership, they will give you a mason jar at check-in. They put some water in the mason jar for you so the flowers can stay hydrated as you pick. (I have since gone to another PYO flower garden, and they did not do mason jars or a container with water, so I think it's worth mentioning as it definitely makes a difference). When you check in, they will also provide you with the snips, and then give you any instructions or information. They also have a key holder/system in place - I am not sure if it is mandatory to leave your keys with them or not, but if you do, they will give you a number tag for when you are done. The field is pretty easy to navigate. The flowers are grown in long rows, and there is some signage indicating the type. I recommend wearing comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a little dirty. If it is a sunny/hot day, you will want to bring a water bottle, as it can get very hot. Now, the flowers - they are absolutely gorgeous. You have free rein and can pick as you wish. They do have some limits on certain flowers - for example, 5 stems for the dahlias, 3 stems for the eucalyptus, and similar for the hydrangeas - but there are plenty to choose from, so it is not limiting. You really will be amazed by how much you can fit in the mason jar. It was really fun to explore and check out all of the beautiful flowers. It is also really neat to see how other people build their bouquets. You can tell that some people have a vision and a plan, while others (like me) just go for it. All of them are beautiful, and you really cannot go wrong. I absolutely loved mine, and again, I was amazed at how many I was able to get in the mason jar - I put quite the mixture and they blended so beautifully. It was like a few bouquets in one. It really is a great experience, and the smile comes home with you every time you look at the beautiful flowers. I definitely recommend it and cannot wait to come back to do it again. When we finished with the flowers, we did check out the farm stand. It was towards the end of the day, so the options were dwindling (either because they were out or had been put away), but what we did see looked great and of high quality. Some prices seemed a little on the high side, in my opinion, but you are getting local, freshly grown, good-quality items. We got some peaches, a watermelon, and a bag of the apple cider donuts. I couldn't believe the size of the peaches - they were HUGE - like softball-sized. They were some of the best peaches I have had, and the watermelon was closer to how they used to be.

We waited 20-30min but decided to give up. While we were waiting i got some apple cider donuts which were $7 for 6 to at least has some food in my stomach. The donuts were good but wasn't warm anymore. We ended up just getting food at the food truck and got some drinks at the general store.

They have good selection of apples but unfortunately honey crisps were not around. Maybe we're mostly already picked due to its popularity. We got to try few different apples and ended up liking the ambrosias. We packed our bag full and left the area They also have outdoor bathroom available and portable sink. The place was very busy and it was a bit crazy. Maybe best to come when it's not too crowded. The place seemed to be more like a tourist trap and price of everything was expensive. I had better time in other farm that are smaller and less busy.

The brands have changed. The orchards are overgrown and covered in poison ivy with no landscaping to protect patrons, not even warnings.

Who makes a turkey and ham with a piece of lettuce sandwich and charges $8? I don't know if management changed, but the delightful and welcoming service is now void. I felt as if I was a bother and got the drift I wasn't at all welcomed with underlying tones of "ok get what you see and get out." I miss the kind ladies from 15-20 years ago who treated you like old friends. I had driven about 20 miles, excited to visit this old orchard I adored for years as a summer day escape to refresh. I left feeling heavily disappointed, turned away and realizing the age of kind service, pleasant and genuine "how do you do's" are a thing of the past. The sadness leaving was palpable. I really used to love this place. I could tell the staff just wanted to do the least and clock out. It left a very poor taste in my mouth. Dare I say a broken heart. The soul is gone. I ask that I don't receive a response from ownership because it will just hurt more.
