Though the giant Great Dane was likely 170. Many other families and small children. Tractor rides. Great location near the end of Glidden Road in Gilford. Psst. Great dog walking on the class VI road that continues at the road's conclusion. With a babbling brook my dog hydrated, pooped (which contained short sections of the beef teriyaki sticks he stole Friday night), and a trail to a cemetery. We walked it, my son and I, but it kept going too long. Maybe we go farther next time. And there will be. Oh, the apples are delicious!

We met the owners and had a wonderful chat before grabbing a large web sack for apples Sue wanted for several apple crisps she had planned on making. Though the orchards are relatively small in comparison to something like Butternut Farm, it's just a beautiful setting out there. I had a great time dragging the wagon along behind Sue while she gathered up her quota. We ended up buying a large pumpkin as well, had a great time, and would drive up here anytime just to walk around. It's just beautiful. Check it out!

This is such a fun place to visit with so many activities that are family-(and friend)-friendly!…read more My friends and I went apple picking here! You can start off by taking brown bags or berry cartons at the entrance storefront. There are TONS of fields to explore: we explored fields of raspberries, elderberries, blueberries, and then you get to the apple orchards. There are SO many varieties of apples. I would make sure you have some good shoes because in some areas of the apple orchard, there are some steep inclines. If there is rain, it can also get slippery. There is also a HUGE pumpkin patch, flower fields that are available for picking, and a CORN MAZE - the latter is $6 entrance fee! Again, so much to do. Unfortunately I did not have time to experience the corn maze because it started raining by then. If I could make a suggestion, It would be nice for some of the trees to have a suspended net around the bottom of the tree (maybe this isn't optimal for weight purposes). But so many apples fall off the tree- or people drop them while picking. It seems a shame to go to waste, so would be cool if there were a way to catch them before hitting the ground and bruising/ resting in dirt. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. It was a ton of fun to visit the farm with so much to do, and delicious apples. PLUS Mac's Maple is also down the road so that was our next stop!

The Lucy family, who own and run the orchard, are incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience feel personal and special. They offer u-pick apples with several different varieties to choose from, and every tree this 2025 season is loaded with beautiful fruit. There's also a wonderful selection of pumpkins for sale, plus fresh apple cider that pairs perfectly with the crisp fall air. It's clear this orchard is cared for with love and attention. It's not crowded or commercial--it's family-owned, relaxing, and has the kind of charm you don't find often anymore. I can't wait to start baking apple crisps and pies with what we picked, and the apples are perfect for dipping in maple butter. If you're looking for a peaceful orchard experience with great fruit, friendly people, and breathtaking views, Douglas Hill is the place.

Driving there was beautiful and I live in NH but still think NH is gorgeous! The parking is plentiful and has shade. It was a very hot day so we were very happy for the shade. The young adult at the entrance to the driveway is friendly and helpful! We entered the gorgeous old barn and were immediately WOW'D by the ambiance! Such a gorgeous place! They have a bar set up where you can purchase inviting mock-tails such a lavender lemonade with non alcoholic gin!!! There are other non lavender themed mock-tails as well. The presentation is gorgeous and it was a good size cup, probably at least 15oz, not filled to the brim with ice but enough ice to keep my drink refreshingly cold! Loads of wonderful lavender themed goods for sale! All very attractively staged. This is a beautiful venue. Once you talk to the young adult in charge of pick your own lavender and pay, you are given a basket, shears, rubber band, and instructions on how to cut and where on the plant you should cut. Despite the ungodly heat it was a lovely afternoon with our mom, my sister, and my daughter. The farm is dog friendly as long as they are on a leash. There are a TON of awesome photo ops! An old pick up truck, gazebo with Adirondack chairs in the midst of the field, Adirondack chairs placed in the midst of rows of lavender, the barn, and an adorable vintage camper which doubles as a snack shack with various bites for sale! There are benches and Adirondack chairs scattered all over the property making the entire place very inviting. Chickens were quietly clucking to themselves as they roamed the yards pecking for bugs and worms. They were taking advantage of deep shade and cool earthen hollows they made to keep cool. So picturesque! I highly recommend Pumpkin Blossom Farm. A very generous bunch of lavender is $18, and it is VERY generous!!

The orchards are beautifully scenic, a perfect outdoor setting. The staff were all passionate about their orchard and apples. I loved the store portion because they had additional apples that weren't available for picking. They even allowed sampling, so you knew which varieties you would like. There were a handful of choices that I'd never heard of. I knew I needed to buy a bag of the Ashmead's Kernel, they are right up my alley flavor and texture wise. We moved on to the "pick your own" portion. They gave us a fun tractor ride out to the trees. Once there, we quickly filled a bag with an impressive array of apples. I also appreciated that they didn't beat us over the head price wise. While more expensive than some store apples, they weren't as expensive as other orchards I've been to and they delivered a great selection! Highly recommend Poverty Lane Orchards!

There were still ripe strawberries but they required a bit of hunting for the ripest. A worker informed me that they have regulars, "jammies," that show up at 7 and pick galore.

There are 4 strawberry fields, worth it to check each one for different selections. I was there 6/20 and there were still loads of strawberries to ripen.

They had a tractor that took you up the hill to some newly opened patches, but the line was long. We opted for the patches within close walking distance that still had a lot of strawberries. There's plenty of things to do for both adults and children. A fun obstacle course, giant sandbox, tire swings, and chicken feeding for kids. Hard cider, live music, a couple food carts, a mini craft pop-up and farm market/bakery for adults. There was also a strawberry shortcake and fresh cider donut stand. The pulled pork from the PitchFork food cart was plentiful and affordable. Lots of seating with umbrellas and it never felt super crowded. Parking across the street was easy. Only comment is wayfinding signage for the U-pick could be improved. More festivals like pollinator and cherry will be in the coming weeks, and we'd definitely return. We went to the beach afterwards (~15 mins) to take full advantage of the beautiful day.
