    Just perfect! I'm so tired of going to farms that are too crowded, too big and too pricey. Today we found Cucurbit Farm wanting to pick pumpkins. When we arrived we drove past a parade of scarecrows- all unique and made by a local business or family. We parked and came upon a small farm shop with loads of pumpkins to buy, mums, donuts, fresh cotton candy and local produce. A few baby goats were out to greet us and we also got to take a tractor out to the field to choose the pumpkins we wanted. This is a family run farm and the people are so nice. We didn't want a 2 hour stop and this was a perfect 1 hour filled with everything we wanted. We are coming back for sure and would highly recommend this!

    A very nice and local farm. Has lots of great plants, a little shop, and an amazing corn maze with pumpkins in the fall!

    Great family farm with an excellent selection of fresh produce and season plants. The fall Corn Maze is perfect for the family!

    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.

A lot of the apple types weren't available, but the ones they had were great! The store on site was very cute and reminded me of Vermont. The apple cider donuts were delicious, but the apple cider was served cold.

    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.

    Most underwhelming experience I've had at an apple orchard. I came here on a weekend in early…read moreNovember because they were offering half-price apple picking. 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.

    Westward Orchards used to be a quaint summer stop that became a traditional place to visit once a…read moreyear. It used to be a humble, neighborly and affordable place with kind service. The brands have changed. The orchards are overgrown and covered in poison ivy with no landscaping to protect patrons, not even warnings. They no longer prepare ordered sandwiches fresh or pastries and soups. Instead just throw together a couple premade soggy sandwiches. 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.

    Came here for PYO Blueberries. They had an FB sale for having a huge picking at a reduce rate…read morebecause of too many crops. I would steer clear on this places for blueberries. This is not my first time blueberry picking, so I know what to look for and how to pick berries. The area is fairly short - meaning the netting to keep the birds out is very low. If you're tall, you're going to be dragging the netting through your hair or killing your back from crouching. Bushes are not trimmed and maintained well. However, the height of the berries are perfect for children to be able to pick their own. After crouching for a while and leaving with 4 lbs of berries, we were happy with our haul. However, after coming home and washing them to prepare for storage and eating, the nightmare began. Nearly all the berries have small white bugs on them. No biggie, fairly easy to wash and scrub. However, when worms and grubs starting to come out of the berries, I knew that this was not a great picking place. Their blueberries looked great, but clearly they're dealing with bug issues that will kill their crops and customer base. Wasted money down the drain, but better than eating bug infested fruits. It's a bummer as I've picked fruits at their Tyngsboro location with no issues. But I'd steer clear on this location and drive further to go up to Tyngsboro.

    Pick your own strawberries, pick your own blueberries, and pick your own Jack Russel Terriers!…read more Yes, really - besides selling various types of seasonal produce at their farm, their website also mentions that Jack Russel Terriers - Irish Shorties to be specific - are available. That was very obvious when we pulled in and asked where to drive/park. The Terriers were very willing to help, though their human gave us better directions. Today, strawberries were available both pre-picked and pick-your-own. We opted for the latter, and we picked 4 quarts in less than half an hour - not bad when you consider it is still a little early in the season, and we had to navigate through some slightly soggy spots from last night's tropical storm. The final cost was roughly $4 per quart - a great deal for farm-fresh strawberries. Later in the year they will have blueberries, tomatoes, corn and pumpkins, and a corn maze in the fall. Reasons to keep coming back! Oh, and be very careful driving out back. We had to also deal with a lovesick rooster who was doing his own version of pick-your-own with various pursued hens, none of whom understood the concept of moving cars.
