There’s nothing quite like apple picking on a crisp fall day. Spending the day with friends or family wandering around orchards and ending with a bushel of perfectly ripe apples just never gets old — and around here, the orchard options are endless. 

Hollis Hills Farms in Fitchburg and Red Apple Farm in Phillipston were recently featured among a USA Today reader list of best apple orchards in the country. Of the dozens in the area, many offer farm activities, live music, and farm-to-table food options that bring the whole day together.

In 2023, Boston.com readers voted Honey Pot Hill Orchards as their favorite Massachusetts orchard, but its time to see the top contenders for 2025.
