There is nothing quite like fall in New England.

The apples are ready, pumpkins are turning orange in the fields, corn mazes are opening, and farm stands are overflowing with the last big harvests of the growing season. The only problem is figuring out where to go.

That's exactly why we built the New England Harvester Farm Directory — a free, searchable guide designed to help you discover farms, orchards and agricultural destinations throughout all six New England states.

Find Your Next New England Farm Adventure

Whether you're looking for a quick afternoon of apple picking or planning an entire fall weekend, the directory gives you one place to start your search.

You can use it to find farms offering:

  • Apple Picking
  • Pumpkin Patches
  • Corn Mazes
  • Hayrides
  • Blueberry Picking
  • Peach Picking
  • Pick-Your-Own Farms
  • Farm Stands
  • Fresh Vegetables & Produce
  • Meat & Dairy
  • Baked Goods
  • Flowers & Lavender
  • CSAs
  • and much more.

Instead of searching the web over and over for "corn mazes near me," "apple picking near me," or "pumpkin patches near me," you can search one directory dedicated specifically to New England farms.

Search Farms Across All Six New England States

Our directory covers farms throughout:

  • New Hampshire
  • Massachusetts
  • Maine
  • Vermont
  • Connecticut
  • Rhode Island

So whether you're searching for an apple orchard in New Hampshire, a pumpkin patch in Massachusetts, a corn maze in Maine, or a farm stand in Vermont, you can narrow the directory down to the places that interest you.

Search by Location or What You Want to Do

We wanted the directory to be more useful than a giant list of farm names.

You can search by farm name or town, browse by state, filter farms according to what they offer, or search around a town, state or ZIP code.

That means you don't necessarily need to know the name of a farm before you begin. If you simply wake up one Saturday morning and decide, "Let's go pick apples," the directory can help you find options.

Fall in New England Is More Than Leaf Peeping

New England gets plenty of attention for its spectacular fall foliage, but agriculture is just as much a part of the season.

For generations, orchards, farm stands and family farms have been part of autumn here. Apple picking, pumpkins, cider, corn mazes and hayrides aren't simply things to do on a fall weekend — they're opportunities to visit the farms that help keep New England's agricultural traditions alive.

And many farms offer far more than you might expect. A trip for a bag of apples can turn into an afternoon of fresh cider, baked goods, pumpkins, animals, local produce and a walk through the orchard.

Looking for a Corn Maze in New England?

Corn mazes have become one of New England's favorite fall traditions. Some are small mazes perfect for younger children, while others cover acres and can turn into a serious challenge.

Use the Farm Directory to look for corn mazes in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode Island, and discover farms you may never have known were there.

Looking for a New England Pumpkin Patch?

Sure, you can buy a pumpkin at the grocery store. But walking through a field and finding the pumpkin is a completely different experience.

New England farms offer everything from traditional pumpkin patches and pick-your-own pumpkins to fall festivals, hayrides, farm stores and family activities.

The directory can help you start finding pumpkin farms near you and turn a simple pumpkin run into a fall tradition.

Apple Picking Season in New England

Few things say September and October in New England quite like apple picking.

Our region is home to orchards growing dozens of apple varieties, from familiar favorites to varieties you may rarely see in a supermarket. Many orchards also offer cider, cider donuts, pies, farm stores and other seasonal treats.

Use our directory to find apple picking throughout New England and explore orchards close to home or worth making a day trip to visit.

Don't Forget the Farm Stands

You don't have to be looking for a major attraction to use the directory.

Sometimes you just want tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes, locally grown sweet corn, fresh eggs, berries, meat, cheese, flowers or something baked that probably isn't going to survive the car ride home.

New England's farm stands connect us directly with the people growing and producing our food. The directory can help you discover those smaller local stops, too.

Before You Head Out

Farming runs on nature's schedule, not ours. Weather, crop conditions and harvest timing can change availability quickly, and seasonal attractions may operate only on particular days.

Always check directly with the farm for current hours, crop availability, admission information and seasonal activities before making the trip.

Start Exploring New England Farms

One of our goals at New England Harvester is to make it easier for people to connect with agriculture right here in our own corner of the country.

So this fall, go get lost in a corn maze. Pick a bag of apples. Hunt down the perfect pumpkin. Take the kids on a hayride. Stop at that little farm stand you've driven past a hundred times and always wondered about.

You might discover a new favorite place just a few miles from home.
