1.Alyson’s Orchard, Walpole, New Hampshire
Alyson’s Orchard was established in the 1980’s on a stretch of unique land called a drumlin. (a convex area of rich compacted soil left behind after a glacier has moved on). The land had never been cultivated and was the perfect fertile spot to plant an apple orchard. Today these amazing orchards produce over 50 varieties of apples, as well as plums, pears, grapes and peaches. From midsummer to late fall visitors are invited to come and spend a few hours picking your own delectable fruit to savor at home. Children can enjoy playing in the playground and visiting the goats. Outside of harvest time visitors can stock up on delicious country gifts at the Farm Stand.
