Our Season
◐ This row follows the calendar — it's showing the live season now.
Five months of harvest, one hill.
Most orchards open for apples. We open in July and don't stop until the cider press runs dry in November. Tap a fruit to see the hill that month.
Pick Your Own
Grab a bag and head for the rows.
Down a winding side road off Route 117, the rows run right up to Fletcher's Pond. Pay cash and head straight out to pick; paying by card, just stop in the shop first.
Hours · July – November
Open Daily 9–5 · seven days a week, in season
Weekday mornings are the quiet, golden ones. Weekends bring the snack window, the cider press, and a happy crowd.
What It Costs
Pick by the bag · no gate fee, no parking fee
Grab a bag at the barn and fill it from any open row — pay for what you pick. The snack window and farm store take cash or card.

Our Story
1972a family farm
ever since
ever since
A little piece of heaven on Brookside Avenue.
The Lord family planted the first trees on this hillside above Fletcher's Pond in 1972, in a corner of Stow that's been apple-and-horse country for two hundred years. The road in still winds; the pond still mirrors the sky; the work is still done by hand.
Today it's blueberries and cherries in July, peaches in August, and apples from September until the cider press runs dry in November — plus rows of pick-your-own vegetables, a snack window worth the drive, and a farm store stocked with honey, syrup, and small-batch jam. Same family. Same hill. Same idea: somewhere time slows down for an afternoon.
We're not really in the apple business — we're in the business of giving a family one good afternoon they'll remember all winter. The apples are just how we do it.The Lord FamilyGrowing on Carver Hill since 1972
