Orchards near Lexington, MA

Harvard

Westward Orchards in Harvard runs a farm stand and pick-your-own operation through the whole season — strawberries and blueberries opening things up in June, apples and a pumpkin patch carrying through October. The farm also runs a CSA share program for customers who want produce delivered on a schedule rather than picked by hand. Vegetables round out the stand between fruit seasons.

Sherborn

Dowse Orchards has grown apples, vegetables, and flowers on the same Sherborn land for 200 years, making it one of Massachusetts's certified Century Farms.

Spring greenhouses supply perennials and flowers; December brings cut-your-own Christmas trees. Open Monday through Saturday, 9am to 6pm.

Carlson Orchards has grown apples on this Harvard property since 1936, and the family operation now runs a hard cider taproom alongside its farm stand, pouring the full current lineup of Carlson-made ciders. It's a working orchard first, with the taproom giving visitors a reason to stick around after the apple bags are packed. The farm store stays open through the harvest season, with cider and fresh fruit sold daily.

Berlin Orchards traces back 50 years to Chedco Farm, renamed in 1995 after Barry O'Brien expanded the property's apple, pear, and peach production across 200 rolling acres.
