Just apples, no hoopla!
Fall in New England is apple-picking season and many of the orchards have become "attractions" in and of themselves. Hayrides, corn mazes, hay mazes, cider doughnuts, and more. But sometimes...you just want apples. Well "just apples" is what you'll get at Doe Orchards in Harvard, MA. It's a quiet, walkable orchard with many varieties. The setting is beautiful. At checkout, you can grab a pumpkin or some decorative gourds or some cider, but that's about it. And it's awesome. If you're looking to avoid the crowds and hoopla, find some great apples, and settle down to a picnic lunch, Doe is your place. Oh--and the kids (or grownups) can climb on a few tractors, too. They also have berries and peaches (summer) and Christmas tree cutting (after Thanksgiving).

Great Family Apple Picking Experience
We took my grandson here to do some apple picking and were glad we went. There is plenty of parking, an excellent variety of apples to pick, porta potties ( a must for little ones) and ease to find off route 2. The staff was extremely nice to all of us but espcially our little 3 year old grandson. Great family trip and to make it a tradition.

Great for apple picking
So we have run the gamut when it comes to orchards, Honey Pot, Belkin, Shelburne, but this was prior to getting a dog! We tried Doe Orchards out as it is dog friendly. So for apples, you get a great variety and the trees all seem to have great quality apples to pick. At this time of year we've gone to other larger orchards which were practically picked clean. The areas at Doe Orchards are well marked and the place is overall very clear. There is for some what may be one hang up though. This is a no-frills orchard. There are no bouncy houses, mazes or cider donut stands. So we picked apples and then headed over to Kimball Farms (also dog friendly) so our son and his friend could get there frill fix in.
