Doe Orchards – Harvard, MA

Thank you for making it a very good year! We’ll be back in July for blueberries (and fingers crossed) peaches, apples & everything we grow for pick your own. Hope to see you around the Fourth of July 2024!

Cut Your Own Christmas Trees continues but this is likely our our last day. There are many Balsam Firs up to 7′ to choose from. The supply will keep us open through today and allow us to keep a good supply of trees for next year! Macoun, Cortland, McIntosh and Golden Delicious apples, apple cider and apple firewood are offered at the main stand.

Opening Friday, Nov. 24^th

Then Saturdays and Sundays until sold out. Hours are 9-4.

Friday morning can be very crowded.  

There can be longer wait times at each step.   

You may wait for a saw, for a trailer ride, for baling and tying the tree on your car.   

Your patience and good cheer will be appreciated.

Please look for directions.  There are signs as you drive in and park to direct you for car and foot traffic.  

Please let us load and unload the trailers.  Please allow the tractors to pass by on the road and by the stand.

Your tree may have a tractor ride to the parking lot without you!  Keep your tree tag with you for I.D.  Take a photo of it, just in case...

There is no tagging system but you can take a walk to get an idea of where to head when we open for cutting.

For today and Tuesday we’ll be in the stand with Macoun, McIntosh, Cortland, Empires and Golden Delicious apples. Our B+ Grade (utility) is a mix of all varieties and better quality by the 1/2 bushel bags. Apple cider and firewood are at the stand. Cut Your Own Christmas trees start Friday. Apples, cider and firewood sales continue!

Apples by 1/2 peck and peck bags, B-Grade 1/2 bushel, apple cider and apple firewood. Christmas tree Cut Your Own starts Nov. 24.

We’re now open from 10-4 every day (weather permitting). There are many apples at the stand in peck & 1/2 peck bags, also 1/2 bushels of B grade mixed variety, apple firewood and apple cider, too! Cut Your Own Christmas trees start November 24th.

It is the end of Pick Your Own apples for this year.  You will find a few of most varieties left on the trees so you can give it a try and check out the foliage too!  There are lots of varieties on the stand.  Apple firewood- “Sticks & Chips” for a fire pit or smoker or a large bin full.  There are some pumpkins too!

Varieties at the stand include Macoun, Cortland, Gala, McIntosh, Golden Delicious, Fuji & Ruby Mac. The only Honeycrisp are b-grade or utility. We also have b-grade in 1/2 bushel bags.

Macoun, Gala, Cortland, McIntosh, Empire and Golden & Red Delicious are still on the trees. It is “end of season picking” with the apples harder to find and this year’s Spring freeze damage on some fruit, all still good to eat and keep.

Apples on the stand include Macoun, Cortland, Empire, McIntosh, Ruby Mac, Fuji, Gala, Pink Lady and Golden Delicious. Honeycrisp are just about gone.

Apple cider, pumpkins & apple firewood are also at the stand. Check out the Christmas trees for this year’s Cut Your Own.

At the stand and in the orchard for pick your own. Empires are ready too!

There is a really good crop of apples this year in the area near the wind machine (a large propeller blade) in the middle of the orchard. There are apples in other areas around the edges of the orchard but because of a freeze in May they were marked with russeted skin and are oddly shaped. (Interesting to look at and the fruit is still good). You can pick them or leave them on the trees! McIntosh, Cortland, Fuji, Honeycrisp, Gala and Ruby Macs are ready now. Macouns and Empire will be ready in a few days. Check the maps here to identify the BEST PICKING area.
