What's in Season

The best and freshest fruits, vegetables, and plants are grown locally. In addition to the 225 acres actively farmed at Lyman Orchards, we work with local family-owned farms to bring you the best and freshest items throughout the season. The availability of local products will depend upon the weather and current growing conditions.
