We are so happy we can pick up fresh produce in the winter, including frozen berries, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbages, apples, and so much more. It's a wonderful gift, especially when trekking to the big supermarkets holds danger of exposure to the Coronavirus. This market is outdoors, meaning less, if any, exposure, and these smaller, local farmers need our business, maybe more than the big chains. Thanks Easy Pickin's Orchard for your good food and service. read more

This is a really nice apple orchard. They offer a wide variety of apples for picking. There's a good amount of raspberries still left for picking. There are also, pumpkins, peppers and pears that I saw. The apples are all clearly marked by type. I saw two coyotes running loose around this orchard today, they didn't seem interested in any fruit or people. The woods are right by the wired fence, I'm sure bears and deer also pop by. I enjoyed this orchard that's easy to navigate and has a good amount of apples and juicy raspberries for picking. read more

Went here for the first time recently, can't wait to go back. The name threw me off initially, as I took it to mean "Great place to bring your kids, but not really a true PYO farm." I was definitely wrong....this place is legit, and it's huge. They clearly have multiple picking seasons, but we were there when the blueberries were oh so plentiful. Even as someone with no intention of making a pie, I picked a just about a metric ton of blueberries. It was so easy, and they were so plump and tasty. OK...so I may have oversold the quantity a tad, but I picked way too many in very little time. Maybe half a ton. Next time I would probably spray my ankles for bugs (had no issues, but just in case), and would wear sunscreen if we were picking to make pies. Really wasn't an issue, however. It was very quick, easy picking. Easy Pickin's! I think most people would correctly expect this next detail, but I'll mention it just in case. ...the entrance is unpaved and dusty. Pick whatever car you don't mind getting dirty, and know that there's always potential for minor dips in the road. (Sedans, vans, SUVs, etc. are fine, but maybe leave 'Vette at home). read more

Went here for the first time recently and returned for a second! I don't know why I didn't get here earlier. It is much closer and manageable with little ones than say, Lyman Orchards (wonderful too, but a bit of a trek). I went to PYO apples and raspberries. The raspberries are delicious and were still going strong in September. I like that the bushes were low for little fingers. Also, the apples are "espaliered" (grown along wires/fences) keeping them low too. I also pulled up my own leeks (choose the largest, they advised) and picked my own bouquet. I was really excited that they have PYO Asian pears too. They are waaaayyyy in the back corner so it's a walk. But so delicious! The ones in the back ripen first in Sept and then the ones closest to the apples ripen a bit later. They are a little bigger too. They also have peppers and hot peppers, beets, blueberries, peaches. I wasn't interested in those (was too late for peaches) so I can't say much about them except the peppers did look good. However, I did pick okra, which was fun. Get shears from the counter though, because they are a little prickly and it makes gathering much easier. Bring your own cutters if you don't want to wait for them. They gave me a pair but they didn't work great. Also pick the smaller ones (3" or so. Definitely less than 4") else they will be too tough and fibrous when cooked (as I learned). The workers are very helpful, although the line to pay can take a bit of time if there are lot of people. Early morning is the best time to go. There are fun painted boards with cut outs to pose in, and a cute "How Tall This Fall" that makes for a fun yearly thing to do with the kids. There is no fancy shop or bathrooms (but there are porta potties). I love this place and definitely recommend for kids for a quick, fun, and simple apple picking or raspberry picking time! read more

Been coming here for years, and we lovelovelove them. Friendly people, fabulous fruits and veggies all year. Seriously, what's better than fresh, local produce? I know I'm a crazy vegetarian, but everything about fresh, local produce makes me feel so good inside (figuratively & literally). Easy Pickin's makes buying fun, too! Their emails are punchy, upbeat, and include great info and ideas for serving their produce. I love people who do their homework and give me links to recipes to try. And you can do full shares, half shares, or a la carte. Again, everyone is so friendly and helpful. Just genuinely good folks making the world a nicer place--a business we love to suppo read more

Farm-To-Table doesn't get any better than this! Although they do have great apples (and it's always fun to pick your apples off a tree rather than out of a bin at the grocery store), they also have tons of other produce that they grow in their gardens and that you can pick onsite. This is perfect for those who may want to make their own salsa, jam, or gazpacho, but don't have the time or energy to grow their own produce. A short list of fresh fruits and vegetables available at Easy Pickins': Apples, peaches, plums, tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries, squash, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, and pumpkins. A quick call to their daily recording will let you know if the produce you want to pick is in season and available. Tip: Bring cash for payment, as they don't accept credit cards. read more

Excellent place to pick your own fruits and vegetables. We picked raspberries, blueberries, apples, eggplant, and leeks. The cashier was kind enough to let us leave our fruits there when we went to pick our vegetables. I highly recommend bringing a water bottle, because if you're going to be here for a long time it can be hot and they don't sell water. They have cute props to take pictures with, and it is very family friendly. They have a shaded area where you can hang out and avoid the sun. read more

Easy Pickin's Orchard - Berries and apples - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Enfield, Connecticut

Wide mid-Summer selection, easy access from I-91, but don't go if you really want to pick your own stone fruit as they do that for you. Likely to ensure they get the crop prior to the birds but if you want pick your own (PYO) blueberries or raspberries this is a great choice. read more

This is our favorite place to go for strawberry, blueberry and raspberry picking. No frills. Just a tent in a field to pay at. They are super nice, easy v to get in and out of the place, and I think the blueberries in particular are the best around. read more

Holy blueberry heaven! Everything about this place was outstanding! :) I'm no experienced picker by any means, but I went here with my family and enjoyed a day of handpicking berries, followed by some cold local soda in bottles which had been chilled to the perfect temperature in a cooler on site, and some farm grown plums which they also sell on site. Unlike the other places I have been to pick berries, the areas between the bushes were well maintained and the grass was cut short, so there wasn't the added annoyance of being scratched by weeds or having your legs feasted upon by insects while getting yo' pick on in the summer heat. A good time was had by all! read more

A small orchard tucked away in Enfield CT near to Rt 190 and off Broadbrook Rd... not sure if they are organic and non-GMO but they have quite the variety of fruits and vegetables. It is so convenient and you can either pick-you-own or purchase from the stand. Very friendly workers there. read more

Some of the best blueberry picking in the state. Great property and neat tucked away location. They also have amazing sugar plums. I'm not sure if they are available to pick, but we always grab some from the table when available and they never make it home. Definitely check the map closely before heading out if you don't have GPS as you could easily miss Bailey Road. Also make sure to bookmark their website to keep an eye on what is in season. read more

We went today with my children, wife and mother in-law. To say the experience was less than fulfilling is an understatement. Let's start with just trying to ask for a bag, as my mother in-law did, only to be ignored by the staff. So, no big deal, we grabbed a wagon and went about our apple picking business. As we approach the line of apple trees, kids smiling, we hear someone screaming: "YO YOU YO HEY, DONT GO OVER THERE" to turn around and figure out it was the staff lady yelling at us, apparently the tree we were headed towards were not for picking. We prevailed and went onto better trees, so we thought. Almost all there tree prove to be fruitless(see what I did there) the only apples available were as small as golf balls, we came across only a handful(literally $6 worth) of collectible apples. We decided to check out the garden, thoroughly disgusted by their vegetable selections and having seen a better garden on the medians of I-91 we decided to check out. Utilizing our debit card, the lady said "no cash huh?" To which we said "no sorry". She started to run the card and said "well I guess I'll have to trust you're not lying about having cash". I know we were not the only ones treated poorly by this lady as the mother and daughter behind us in line got an earful about how cucumber season is over and they should have known better since they only had three months to get some! Mind you the website still says cucumbers are available! We will never go back and I would warn anyone looking at this place to think twice. read more

Very friendly staff and great overall produce. They have an online order form where you can specify your desired quantities and pay online. Just select a pick up date and everything is ready for you when you get there. Overall a great spot with top quality staff and product. read more

Just got back from our daughter's first PYO apples and she had a great time. The trees had apples for her height and ours, she got tired out from the walking :) and there were hayrides, a gourd finding hunt, pumpkins, we even cut our own bouquet of flowers to take home for the kitchen table. We liked it and would go back again!! read more

Newer going to this place again. The woman at the register was extremely rude. I have been going to this place for a few years now, and it is the second time she was rude to me. Their produce is ok, but a very bad customer service. read more

What a wonderful find! We were recommended this orchard for blueberry picking and were so pleased by the whole experience. The blueberries are in season all throughout the summer, many other places are all picked out by the end of July. The berries are sweet and just the tiniest bit floral- like all good, not picked too early then gassed, blueberries should be. The farm also apparently have around 20 total that come up from August to the end of October, so every few weeks it is all new, and most of the trees are cultivated out rather than up so are easy to pick. I grabbed a couple that I had never heard up and am so happy that apple season is off to a good start, they were crisp and tangy just like I like 'em. They also have some wonderful PYO veggies, we snagged some amazingly flavorful tomatoes and perfect-for-parmasean eggplants! I highly recommend making this a weekly stop during the summer, even if it is just to grab a couple of already picked veggie options. Spending a few hours on a farm is certainly a nice way to get out of the house. I loved it so much I arranged a Mommy group outing just a week after we went the first time, we were also already out of blueberries so it all worked out. Go here, get some sun, pick some blueberries, and then come back for apples. read more
