The 2026 Pick-Your-Own Season is OPEN!
Hours: Open Daily, 9 AM - 4:30 PM
For information and updates on picking conditions, please call our 24-hour PYO hotline at 860-349-6015. While you're here, stop by the Apple Barrel Farm Market, open year round. The Lyman Orchards Creamery is open seasonally.
As Connecticut's premier Pick-Your-Own (PYO) Farm, Lyman Orchards takes pride in growing the finest quality fruits for your family. In fact, Lyman Orchards has been commercially growing fruit on the same land overlooking the Connecticut River for more than a century! It's on this land that we invite you to enjoy being a farmer for a morning or afternoon and pick nearly 100 varieties of fruits from mid-June until the end of October including Honeyberries, Strawberries, Raspberries. Blueberries, Jostaberries, Peaches, Nectarines, Apples and Pears. It's no wonder why we've been chosen as CT Magazine's Best Pick-Your-Own Farm in Connecticut and the 2025 best apple orchard in the nation by USA Today!
Since 1741, our family has been stewards of the land. Nine generations later, we still are committed to preserving our farmland for the generations that follow. Our Eco-certified apples and peaches are born and raised right here on our farm. Whether you pick your own in the orchards or buy them in the Apple Barrel Farm Market, you're getting apples and peaches that are grown in ways that respect and preserve the ecology of our orchard.
Before you head out to the orchard, we recommend calling our 24-hour PYO hotline at 860-349-6015 for daily picking conditions and updates.
We look forward to hosting you, your family, and friends for a day of wholesome fun during the Lyman Orchards 2025 Pick-Your-Own Season! See you at the farm!
