Overview:
Whether you’re there for pie, pumpkins, or pick-your-own apples, Lyman Orchards is a classic Connecticut stop. The Apple Barrel store is stocked with local goods, fresh-baked treats, seasonal produce, and just the right amount of nostalgia.

Why It’s Worth a Stop:
The pies are legendary, but that’s just the beginning. Depending on the season, you can pick apples, wander a corn maze, walk through fields of sunflowers, or just sip cider and browse shelves of jams, snacks, and local specialties. It’s one of those places that makes you slow down (and snack more).

What to Know Before You Go:
• Open daily, year-round.
• Pick-your-own fruit varies by season—check online before you go.
• Gets busy on fall weekends—weekday visits are a little calmer.
• Plenty of parking, picnic space, and outdoor areas to explore.

Fun Fact:
Lyman Orchards has been family-run since 1741—making it one of the oldest continuously operating businesses in the country.
