VISIT YOUR LOCAL ORCHARD!
Picking apples is a great family activity for everyone. It is not labor intensive since most of the trees are small and the apples are within reach. Children enjoy racing through the trees to find the perfect apple and then grasping it, twisting, and feeling the snap of its release from the tree.
There is more than picking apples as many orchards offer additional family entertainment. Some orchards have animals during the harvest season.
Benoit Orchards in Lewiston just welcomed a miniature donkey to its family.
Ricker Hill Orchards in Turner has a corn maze for visitors to explore, and there are wagon rides at North Star Orchards in Madison or Romac Orchards in Acton. |

Apple oriented food items are usually connected with orchards, too. For example, try warm apple cider donuts or an apple dumpling while visiting Sweetser’s Apple Barrel and Orchards in Cumberland Center or Wallingford’s Fruit House in Auburn. Raven Hill Orchards in East Waterboro even offers their own roasted coffee, fair trade organic espresso and all-natural smoothies and frozen lattes.
