You can try out the corn maze, take pics with the pumpkins, throw some axes, or do the hat ride. Lots of fun things to do!

    I was looking for something fun to do, so I picked up a copy of the Bargain Buyer (dated October…read more10th) and began leafing through it, as there are usually ads for fun things to do. My eyes fell on the ad for Cucumber Hill Farm, so I checked out their web site, then got directions. After a scenic half hour drive, we arrived at Cucumber Hill Farm, and we were greeted by the sight of this big red barn. We were told by a very friendly staff member to purchase our tickets for the corn maze there. A ticket for the corn maze also includes a free hay ride, so why not? First was the hay ride, then the corn maze. The size of the corn maze is just right, and the cows mooing in the distance added to the charm. After the corn maze, my nephew played in the kiddie maze, made with bales of hay, and designed for the little ones. Then I checked out the barn, where I found some goat milk soap from Sparrow Soaps. I also bought five colorful gourds for our house, and Mom got some farm fresh jam. I'm gonna cut to the chase and say everything here gets a ten. I saw so many cool pumpkins - round ones, fat ones, bumpy ones, white ones, speckled ones - and gourds, I had a hard time choosing between the gourds, but I eventually settled on five that I liked. October 28th is their last day for the season, so hopefully you'll get to make the trek there. If I don't make it back again this season, I will definitelt be back next year.

    Salisbury Farm - So many gorgeous gourds

    Salisbury Farm makes for a great autumn day trip. They have the small-farm feel with a lot of the…read morefun activities of a bigger operation. We loved the free hayride that dropped us off at the pumpkin patch, and the highland cow was adorable. Corn maze was pretty steeply priced but the employees were really great to work with. Would definitely come back!

    On this sunny Autumn day, I just needed to get out and enjoy autumn in New England. I was thinking…read more'apples, I want some Macintosh apples'. So what did I do? I went on yelp and searched 'orchards'. Which lead me to Salisbury Farm. First of all, I know you all are thinking "Johnston?" This farm is right down the road from the Scituate art festival location. It's rural. This is not the Johnston I think of (sorry Johnston). Don't let the location dissuade you. It's lovely. A small store is located in a big old barn and sells gourds, pumpkins, soap, peppers, tomatoes, mums plus some merch, honey and more. Goats and a cow named Finlay (who I am obsessed with) are located just outside for everyone to enjoy. They also have some kid sized fun things to do right there by the barn. They also have a corn maze which I was interested in doing, but wasn't sure about, so I asked 'how big is your corn maze' and was told '5 acres.' What? Five acres? No way. I'm not sure how they measure that (I'm not a surveyor) but that sounded like a nice stretch of the legs and I was all in. We were given maps of the maze with our purchase, which is absolutely necessary. Without the map I have no idea how we would have gotten through. Honestly, we passed two women, going the wrong way, who said they had been in there for 45 minutes and couldn't find the way out. They did not follow the map. For all I know they are still in there. We spent about 30 minutes in the maze (I'm a good map reader) and then walked on over to the pumpkin patch. Most of the pumpkins are at the barn, but it was a nice walk and we passed fields of strawberries (out of season in October). In the Spring I'll check back for their strawberry harvest. The sunflowers are past their prime in October, but last month you could cut your own sunflowers and I bet they were gorgeous then. The maze is not an inexpensive experience, but it is something you only get to do in the Fall and it does support a local farm, so for me it was worth it and I had fun. The corn crop this year is having some difficulty (2024). Much of the maze is tall and conceals all as you would expect. Parts of the maze however are not dense and the farm has a sign up in that section with information about their plans to amend the fields for next years crop. There are a lot of signs throughout the maze: Jokes Emergency flags to wave if you are totally lost Four emergency exits Information about Halloween and the farm. There is also a raffle with your purchase so ask at the store about that. Two picnic tables are near the entrance/exit. If you have a group this could be your meeting place if you are separated or if you have little ones, you can hang out here while the bigger ones go through the maze. Bring snacks. Enjoy the day! I did get to buy myself some Macintosh apples (for those of you wondering). We were here on a week day, so it wasn't a full tilt, weekend extravaganza. I am thinking on the weekends it's a lot of family fun in the Autumn.

    Barden Orchards - Need to stop listening to "influencers"- these aren't even made there and come in frozen-$11!!!

    Barden was a great place for apple picking! They have a ton of different varieties and everything…read morewas well marked. The apples were great quality and were delicious to eat and bake with later in the week. We parked a little far out from the entrance based on how busy it was (Sunday afternoon), but it was an easy walk. A lot of the apples that were ready to be picked and of good quality were at the top of the trees. I wish they offered ladders or picker tools to allow people to get good apples that can't be reached otherwise. Also, they had run out of apple cider donuts, which was a shame. We got some apple cider and fresh raspberries to take home, which were also both delicious. I would definitely pick our own raspberries next year if we return. We would definitely go back for a fun Fall activity each year!

    This orchard as huge and has a very large selection of apples. Great varieties and I can't wait to…read morecome back in mid October when even more varieties are ready for picking and eating. I thought the layout was easy to follow and very organized. The space across the orchard was truly maximized. Rows upon rows of beautiful apples waiting to be picked. This weekend 9/15, Honeycrisp, Cortland, Gala, Liberty and McIntosh were ready for picking. My wife and I are apple feinds eating 1 or 2 a day each. We had the fridge space for cold storage so we did 1/2 bushel which hits you @ $55. We ended up getting 24.5lbs of apples which came out to $2.24/lb. Not bad for fresh off the tree. If you don't eat as many apples, it is a little on the price side because here are the prices: 1/2 bushel ($55 = admission for 5) 1 peck ($35 = admission for 3) 1/2 peck ($17.50 = admission for 1) 1/4 peck ($15.00 I think? = 1 child 10 and under) Quantity is certainly your friend here. Not an issue for us because we eat so many (enjoyed over 4 while picking em.... They were good and couldn't help myself). We also grabbed some apple cider donuts on the way out. 1/2 dozen for $11 and they're the best apple cider donuts I've ever had. They actually tasted like apple and not just straight up sugar. Heat up in the microwave for 10 seconds before enjoying and chefs kiss. Will be back here in a month! Looking forward to some fuji and evercrisp!
