If I could give zero stars I would. Overpriced, kept selling $60 apple buckets and no apples on the trees. Raced out to them via FB private message and they wouldn't respond. Poor service, nothing nice to say.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Holmberg Orchards is such a beautiful place to visit! The orchard has so much charm, with gorgeous scenery, beautiful apple trees, and such a peaceful New England atmosphere. As a photographer, I especially appreciate how picturesque the property is. Every corner feels like the perfect backdrop for capturing special memories. Whether you’re visiting for apple picking, enjoying the seasonal atmosphere, or simply spending time outdoors, it’s such a lovely experience. Definitely a local gem worth visiting!
Holmberg Orchards was a fun morning outing! We knew the pricing before heading to the orchard so we weren't caught completely off guard. We got the family bag and was able to fit about 14lbs of apples in it. There weren't many rows able to be picked but it was good enough. The let down was the "tractor ride". It lasted for roughly 2min. Wish there was a way for kids to be able to ride it for longer or create an option for it to be longer. We chose not to do the corn maze as it is $5 per person and seems very small. Would be neat if they did a family deal of some sort to include admission into the corn maze. They had lots of pumpkin varieties to choose from but expect to pay a premium. The tiny pumpkins were $3 each, sugar were $6, most varieties ranged from $10-$15 and the large orange pumpkins were $15. We also got some drinks and food while we were there. We got the hot apple cider which was Great, the apple cider slushie (was okay, tasted like apple juice), & of course their apple cider donuts. You used to be able to get them hot/warm but not anymore. We asked if we could get ours hot or warm and they said they could do it but they weren't. They were busy and not a huge deal because they still tasted amazing but their Hot Apple Cider Donuts are the best, dare I say in the entire country. We will try again to get some and hopefully they will be hot! Overall it is a great place to go for a morning/afternoon!

Getting some apple cider and pumpkins and it was pretty fun.
Grab a chicken salad wrap, one of the best I've ever had. Everything was great. Apple crisp, apple pie, cinnamon twists, and cookies were all very good. Highly recommend!
Great place for a family day out for apple picking and more fall fun.
I came specifically to get some Ludacrisp apples. One employee told me they didn't even have them, I got them last year so I knew they did. There's 100s of people coming here today and barely any rows of apples open to pick. All of the rows are bare of apples and the only ones left at 8 feet off the ground. They need to open more rows, also I found the Ludacrisp.. theyr'e fenced off: (
This place is awesome. It’s quite large with a ton of parking available. Make sure you follow the signs to the top of the hill to find the orchard. We visited the first weekend of October and there was lots of apple picking with a wagon ride up the hill and then all sort of pumpkins and gourds to choose from for purchase. You can spend an hour here easily. Great way to support local farms. Check out the market too at the bottom of the hill. Excellent foods and more flowers and pumpkins.
My daughter and I have been pear picking raspberry picking blackberry picking and blueberry picking and every time we are thrilled with our take! And we top it off with a visit to their store for everything from delicious baked goods to fresh produce. Always a treat!!
Such a cute surprise to find off the beaten path while driving through the area! While the pick your own is overpriced, the shop itself is a dream. Everything from cider donuts and slushes to cheese, milk, syrup, home, beer, wine and more! Great stop to enjoy the flavors of fall.
Lovely Apple picking experience! The rows are well labeled and the apples are abundant. It was crowded in the main area the fall Saturday that we went, with a very long line for cider donuts, but the fields themselves were not overly crowded.
Just wanted to share my experience today on this absolutely amazing 75°sunny September afternoon at Holmberg Orchards...one of my favorite spots this time of year throughout the fall season that is upon us: ) as soon as you open Holmberg's front entranceway door you can smell the freshly baked homemade apple pies...an other amazing treats...all different flavors of hand picked apples and cider...its a amazing place to visit and you can even do your own apple picking aswell! A great place to visit and enjoy! Highly recommend this place: )
My family goes here every year around Halloween. It is a tradition we all love. Apple cider and donuts and tractor rides and apple picking! Beautiful scenery and a great place to take pictures. Their pies at the holidays are literally the best!
