Alyson’s Orchard Opens for Pick-Your-Own Apples…and more!

Chosen by New Hampshire Magazine in 2008 as the “Best Agricultural Experience” in New Hampshire, Alyson’s  Orchard will open for the Pick-Your-Own season on Saturday, August 15 with a rain date of August 16.  It’s the perfect choice for an afternoon of family fun!

Starting at 10 a.m. visitors will be able to pick Paula Red apples and blueberries and go for a free wagon ride in a special fire truck wagon pulled by a John Deere tractor. (The first 50 kids who ride will receive a fire chief hat.)  There will also be free hot dogs and live music from 12 – 3 PM.

The farm stand will be open, selling apple pies, jams, local honey and maple syrup, cheese, chicken pies, gifts and more.  Other seasonal fruits such as peaches and plums will be available at the farm stand, as well.

There will be a wine tasting featuring Alyson’s Heirloom Apple and Dry Apple wines, along with some new, award-winning selections from LaBelle Winery of Amherst, NH from 12-3 PM. 

This event will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weather permitting.  Alyson’s is located on Route 12 in Walpole, 12 miles north of Keene.   For more details visit their website www.alysonsorchard.com or call the Orchard at 603-756-9800.
