Sunday, November 2, will be our last day of the 2025 harvest season. There will be some great deals all day long for apple and pumpkin pickers. We will be making cider donuts until 2pm, but if you want more than a dozen or you want a fresh baked pie, you'll need to call and order them. They freeze very well and can make a wonderful treat for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals.

If we have enough people come out, we will run a few hayrides. This is also a good time to say goodbye to the farm animals as they will be moving for the winter soon.

We still have some wonderful fall colors and lots of fruit to harvest, so we hope to see you one last time this season. We’re leaving the gates open for you.

Remember, the time falls back an hour and we will be closing at 5pm on Sunday.

We still have lots of apples on the trees and plenty of pumpkins to pick in the patches. Not only do we have lots of fruit to pick, but we are going to have some great discounts on apples and pumpkins all this week. This could be your last chance to enjoy a hot spiced cider and a warm cider donut, while rumbling through glorious farmland and woods on a tractor pulled hayride.

Don’t miss out on this fall experience--a wonderful, inexpensive way to treat your family to healthy fruit, adorable farm animals, and the incredible flavors baking in the farm kitchen.

No reservations required, no ½ hour lines trying to secure a warm cider donut, just wonderful, cool, fall weather on a great family farm.

Hope to see you soon! We’ll leave the gates open for you.

We have lots of beautiful apples and pumpkins to pick this week and the fall colors are looking great. This all adds up to a necessary trip to the farm. To add a little incentive to those who want to “Halloween up” their home, we are a having a buy one get one free special all this week. This means you can get twice as many pumpkins as you normally would! Remember to bring something to cut your pumpkin stems with, otherwise you will have to put a deposit down on our saws.

We will also be running some other specials on Sunday, so make sure you come, take a hayride, visit our farm animals, grab a pie and cider, and of course, devour a few of our famous cider donuts.

Looks like a beautiful day on Sunday and most of next week, so come enjoy the farm beauty, the fall flavors and a New England tradition with our family. We’ll leave the gates open for you.

We are open Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9:00 am ‘til 6:00 pm. Friday’s hours are 9:00 am until 5:30 pm. We are located on George Hill Road in Lancaster, MA.

Finally we got some cold weather to make our apples extra sweet and juicy! This weekend is a must visit, as New England’s famous McIntosh apples are coming to their harvest end. Fortunately, we have lots of later varieties that are going to fill in the void, but for those wanting tree picked Macs, come this week. Our pumpkin patches still have a great selection, but the early bird pumpkin picker scores the best pumpkins. For all you pumpkin pickers, don’t forget to bring some clippers to cut the stems or you’ll have to put a deposit down on our saws.

If you come hungry, Wheat and Water Crafted Doughz’s will be serving delicious, artisan, hand stretched pizzas from their food truck, and our farm kitchen will be creating all types of great tasting desserts.

Hayrides will be running both Sunday and Monday, and the farm animals will be begging for some attention. Normally we are closed on Mondays, but this Monday is a holiday, so we will be open. Pack up the family and head out to the farm. We’ll leave the gates open for you.

This week at George Hill Orchards we will be picking all types of apples and pumpkins!

On Sunday, Wheat + Water Crafted Doughz food truck will provide wonderful food to fill your stomachs! Our farm kitchen will be making fresh, homemade apple pies, turnovers and, of course, our famous cider donuts. Hayrides will be running most of the day Sunday, and weekdays by reservation. Farm animals are anxiously waiting for a snack from our pickers, and the farm beauty will soothe your soul.

We are still offering the ‘GOOD DEED DEAL,’ which gives you a free bushel of PYO apples to donate to any worthy cause if you pick a bushel for yourself.

This hot dry weather could cause the crop to lose quality as the fall goes on, so come out now to be sure to get the best picking.

Don’t forget, we also have our weekday special of PYO apple drops, great for pies, juicing and more. That’s 40lbs of apple drops for $15--best deal for pie makers, saucers and juicers!

We’re keeping this short so you’ll have plenty of time to plan your visit to George Hill Orchards in the beautiful town of Lancaster. We’ll keep the gates open for you!

All four of our pumpkin patches will be open starting September 28! Bring your family this Sunday and take a scenic hayride through the orchard to pick some pumpkins and apples, visit the farm animals, and enjoy some goodies from the farm kitchen.

Why fight the traffic and crowds at those big farms when you can enjoy a cozier, less stressful environment at our beautiful, family farm?

This will be the last week for the Good Deed Deal, where, if you buy a bushel of apples, you get a free bushel that you can pick and drop off at the charity, food bank or wherever it will do some good and bring joy to others. Come and enjoy the beauty and share the fruit to lift up people in your neighborhood.

The weather is looking great for a farm visit and the fruit is plentiful. Check out our website for hours and direction

We are now officially into the fall season. The weather is cooling and apples are turning red and sweet. Looks like a perfect time for a farm visit!

Sunday we will be running hayrides from 11-4:30, our farm kitchen will be making pies and pastries, and our cider donut machine will be cranking out warm and tasty treats.

This week you can pick peaches and apples in the same bag, so you’ll be getting the best prices of the season. Peach season will last only one more week, but don’t worry—we’ll open up the pumpkin patch next week, so that’ll be something to look forward to!

Don’t forget we are still doing the GOOD DEED DEAL, allowing you to pick free apples to donate to a local, good cause. Ask about it when you come to the farm.

Our farm stand is open Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 9:00 am until 6:00 pm.

We also have nearly all the farm animals here now, so your kids are going to have a blast, as well as you. Get in the car, make the drive and enjoy the beauty of fresh fruit and New England scenery

For those wanting to make some peach jam or pies we currently have peach 2nds and drops for $0.80 a pound, less than 1/2 price. We have a lot but it is still a good idea to call and let us know how many pounds you want so that we can have them ready for you.

09/13/2025

This week we will be picking the last of the summer peaches and nectarines, along with Gala, Mac, Ginger Gold and Cortland apples.

We will again be offering the GOOD DEED DEAL all week, so come on out, pick a bushel of apples, and get another bushel FREEE to share with your local food bank or anyone that may need an act of kindness. We are hoping to spread some love with our beautiful apples, so come and help our apples make a difference. We can’t run this deal all season, so plan on coming soon.

Sunday we will be making cider donuts and homemade pies and pastries most of the day, so come and enjoy the fall flavors.

If you are a teacher or group organizer, it’s time to reserve your farm outing. We have educational field trips starting as low as $4.50 per person. Give us a call (978-365-4331) or check out our website for more information.

Peach & Apple Picking Season is ON! 🍑🍎
This week, we’ve got lots of peaches ready to pick—plus plenty of apples too! If enough folks come out, we might even run a hayride or two on Sunday.

Heads up: we’re down to the last two weeks of our summer peaches—and they’re much sweeter than the fall ones. So if you’re a peach lover, this is the week to make your trip!

Introducing the “Good Deed Deal” 🍏💚
Wondering what that is? For the next two weeks, when you pick one bushel of apples, you get to pick a second bushel FREE.

The catch? We ask that you share your second bushel with someone who could use a little extra kindness—whether that’s a neighbor, a local shelter, or just someone who could use a smile.

We’ll be posting ideas to help inspire your good deeds—but we’d love your suggestions too! Drop a comment below with creative or meaningful ways harvesters can spread joy with their extra apples.

(And just to be clear—bringing them to a Red Sox vs. Yankees game and handing them out in the bleachers for throwing purposes is not the kind of good deed we’re looking for. 😅)

The Details:
🗓️ Deal runs for the next 2 weeks
⏰ You can do it once per day during business hours
📍 No need to ask for a “Facebook special”—just show up and pick
🕘 Open Sunday & Tuesday–Friday, 9 AM – 6 PM

We can’t wait to see all the Good Deeders out at the farm this week. Thank you for helping us share the harvest and the love.

This weekend is looking perfect for a Pick-Your-Own farm visit. You and your family can wander the farm looking for the perfect apples, grapes, blueberries and peaches. And did I mention CIDER DONUTS?! This will be our “first of the season” cider donuts experience, so that alone should get your appetite up for a farm visit.
We will be picking Ginger Gold, Gala and MacIntosh apples. We also will have grapes and a few blueberries to pick, and finally, for those who come earlier in the day, there should be peaches to harvest.
Our FaceBook Special for Sunday and Monday will be free cider donuts for those picking a ½ bushel bag of apples! All you must do is tell us you want the Facebook special when you are purchasing your ½ bushel bag for PYO apples, and you can take the ½ dozen with you to munch on while picking, or you can have us hold them for you for your ride home.
This deal is only available on Sunday and Monday this week, during farm stand hours, which are 9:00am to 6:00pm.
Summer is coming to an end, and so is our summer schedule. Wednesday, we move down to our bigger farm stand for the fall season. Check our website out for information on our location and fall hours, what’s being picked, and driving directions.
We hope to see you on our farm so we can give you a warm welcome, and yes, the gates will be open for you.
