I have been going to Cider Hill Farm annually, which says something because I live in Illinois now. They have a vast amount of apples to pick (there are other crops throughout the season too). Their cider donuts are amazing - definitely have one while they are warm inside the market where you can purchase lots of other food and festive items. The hayride to the orchard is a nice touch. There are some farm animals too. If you are of legal drinking age and like sweet, try some iced cider at one of their tastings.
A great variety of apples and picturesque scenery. The apples are superb this year. And the Cider Doughnuts are to die for. The also have a great dark store and lots of delicious preserves and baked goods. The only thing that would would make for a better experience would be Fall weather! (Love Summer, but there is nothing better than picking apples in crisp Autumn conditions.)
Always enjoy visiting, even when crazy busy with apple picking in full swing. Today, a lovely employee helped me bring my bags out to my truck after I bought more than I could carry (happens often at this place); now THAT is great service! I love this place and am grateful every day for the owners and employees who continue to make this farm buzzand yes, I also love the bees even though they scare me 🐝! Here's to another fabulous Fall🍁
We loved coming here!! Those apple cider donuts were so good and so warm! I ate three without thinking. Next time, we will actually apple pick. We were in a hurry this time. But the farm stand was full of delicious baked goods. Can't wait to go again! 🍎
Cider Hill farm is my favorite place for fresh cider donuts. They're the best! And now their new food truck has cider donut ice cream or ice cream made with their fresh fruits. Their pick-your-own apples have a great variety (sadly no honey crisps). I've never picked peaches here but their interior farm stand says they have 20 varieties. There are plenty of picnic tables to have a bite or take a rest. And they set up little decorative areas for perfect pictures. Kids can feed goats and chickens.
This farm is nice and easy to get to off highway. A gorgeous Saturday of August 26 2pm place was not crowded at all. If it was closer to Boston it would have been. Apple picking I think costs more than one should be paying, compared to like Honey Pot Orchard in Stow. $20 for a "large" bag which is actually quite small. The store is nice, clean and well organized. Overall pleasant experience.
A little to packed in season but great trees for apple picking and wonderful homemade food within the barn. The petting zoo is wonderful for kids too!
One my family's favorite place to go for pick your own. The blueberries and strawberries are amazing!
Great variety of organic apples to pick or pick-up. They have made a seasonal apple picking place to an extended year of veggies, pumpkins, Christmas trees and greens, local meats, fresh prepared foods, fresh honey, little gifts, and the on-site bakery is wonderful.
You walk in and it feels so homey. You want to stay there for hours because every time you turn you find something interesting to investigate. Their produce is amazing. It is and tastes so fresh, especially the apples. Their frozen foods are just as good, I would suggest the pies. They have frozen chicken pot pie and a assortment of desert pies. Don't get me talking about the Apple cider. It is hands down the best Apple cider I have ever had! Go to Cider Hill Farm and bring your whole family! You all will enjoy it.
Best cider donuts I have ever had. I could stay there for hours because it smells so delicious everywhere you go in there. I highly recommend checking it out next time you are in Amesbury. One of my favorite places to go in the fall.
