Fun by the bushel.
There’s always a lot going on and growing at Cider Hill Farm.  Whether it’s selecting bedding plants or picking fresh strawberries in the spring, or savoring vine-ripened tomatoes, butter and sugar corn or the juiciest peaches in the summer, taking a hay ride, finding your way through corn and hay mazes, or picking your own apples and pumpkins in the fall, Cider Hill Farm offers you and your family all these simple pleasures and more.

Our 145-acre farm affords you the opportunity to while away the hours and to convene with Mother Nature.  There’s a picnic area where you can sit, eat, and drink in the tranquil surroundings.  Plus, there are fun things to do as well at Cider Hill Farm.  In fact, during the fall, there are afternoon hay rides (weekends and holidays), a sheep pen, animal tire swings, and a hay jump to keep you busy.  We’re even planning to have musical guests play at the farm, and we’re in the process of grooming walking paths for your added enjoyment. 

Because we strive to make Cider Hill Farm a learning experience, we welcome school tours during the week.  Teachers and parents love our one hour fall tour program which includes a hay ride, apple picking, a hay maze adventure, and refreshments. Over the years, the Cook’s have hosted dozens of international agricultural exchange students.  By sharing ideas with our many foreign friends, we’re able to integrate international farming techniques into our Amesbury-based farm.

And remember that no trip to Cider Hill Farm would be complete without visiting our Farm Store.  For updates on what we’re up to here at the farm, be sure to visit our Web site regularly.
