Best Place to Pick Apples
When we are picking fruit the orchard is open for picking
every day from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.

For your convenience, our website is updated daily and often hourly to post the
apples that we will be picking at a certain time.
The apples that we are picking are monitored by
our orchard manager and he also is responsible for keeping our website up to date
with the most accurate conditions on each type of apple to be picked. Since weather conditions differ dramatically
from year to year; predictions or estimates are often inaccurate.
Therefore, we always recommend that customers look at our web-site prior to their
visit so that they will not be disappointed that they were told information on
one day that is no longer accurate.
The information on our web-site is usually more accurate than any information
you may receive over the phone as up to date information is not easily relayed to all
staff members during busy season. In fact, we always advise our staff to
look at the web-site before answering any questions about current picking
conditions.

you want an email for picking season and types of apples you will have to sign

What was new for the 2011 Season ....

bearing apple trees grown at Nashoba Valley Winery as of April 15, 2010 was 1,358.

of apple trees now grown at Nashoba Valley Winery is now 4,496.
Just minutes away from Boston and Worcester,
the orchard is a popular destination to pick your own fruit.
Bring family and friends to pick and delight in our idyllic country setting.

Come discover why “Boston Parents Paper” and “Cooking Lite Magazine” have both
voted Nashoba Valley Winery “Best Place to Pick Apples.”

When we are picking fruit the orchard is open for picking every day
beginning at 10:00
a.m. and it closes promptly at 5:00 p.m. Please make sure to purchase your bag
with enough time available to pick all of your fruit before the orchard is
closed. We do not offer refunds for partial or empty bags.
We accept cash throughout the farm, and cash and credit cards only in the winery shop and restaurant. Please keep this in mind when planning your trip to the farm. On busy days, especially weekends, using cash will reduce your wait time greatly.
For your shopping convenience, there is an ATM in the entryway to our Wine
Shoppe.
