Schedule of crops
We have a very comprehensive line-up of fruits and vegetables produced here at Cider Hill Farm.  You can choose to go to the ‘month’ button to read what is available then, or read the less detailed description below.

Fruits
We start our season in early June with strawberries, with the best picking typically around June 20.  Strawberries go strong until the Fourth of July.  As strawberries finish up, we’re soon picking blueberries, which will produce until late August. Summer raspberries start a little later, but will go all summer, and are replaced by fall bearing raspberries which go until the first frost, typically late September. Tree fruits produce their bounty starting with apricots around mid-July, followed by peaches, plums, and nectarines in late July until early October. Our big apple line-up of over 50 varieties begins with summer varieties around August 20, and continues into November! When picking your own tree fruits, we allow you to explore the entire orchard, but will guide you to the right varieties.  At Cider Hill Farm, you don’t have to buy a bag and pick a minimum quantity. We want you to pick just what you need.

Vegetables
Suffice to say we grow many, many varieties of vegetables. A complete list can be found in the monthly menu. We do specialize in early beefsteak tomatoes, grown in compost in heated greenhouses, and ready for sandwiches and salads by mid-June. After all, why wait until August to savor them, when you can have them sooner!  Our other passion is for sweet corn.  We continue to perfect our varieties, always looking for exceptional tenderness and real corn flavor. It’s not unusual for us to pick our corn three or four times a day, so you’re ensured of getting the freshest corn around. It’s a fact that local fruits and vegetables are more nutritious than those shipped from other areas, and that they’re essential for a healthy diet.

Pumpkins
We have to mention pumpkins, because we just love to grow them. You’ll find every size and shape and color possible at Cider Hill Farm.  We produce between 50 and 100 tons, so you’re sure to find the "perfect one".  We’re also putting special effort into growing the "big" one this year. Ask us where it is, and we’ll give you a sneak preview.
