About This Farm
Royal Oak Farm Orchard at Harvard grows thirty apple varieties, more than any other orchard in this region, and has built the fullest day out around them: a carousel, a train, a petting zoo, an apple maze and a crazy golf course called Pick 'N Putt.
What You Can Pick
- Apples - thirty varieties, 21 August through 31 October
- Raspberries
- Cut flowers - at Blossom Ridge
What Else is Available
A carousel, a train, a playground and a petting zoo, the Amaze 'N Apples maze, Pick 'N Putt, a gift shop, a bakery and a country kitchen.
Good to Know
Open 10am to 5pm Monday to Thursday and 10am to 6pm Friday to Sunday.
No prices are published on the orchard's own site, which for an operation with this many ticketed attractions is a real gap.
Pro tip: thirty varieties across ten weeks means the orchard is picking something different every fortnight. Ring and ask what is on rather than assuming a September visit and an October one are the same trip.
