Fresh Fruits
Apples: With over 50 varieties like McIntosh, Cortland, Honeycrisp, and heirloom types, apples are a cornerstone of New Hampshire agriculture. Visit farms like Alyson’s Orchard in Walpole or Applecrest Farm in Hampton Falls for PYO apples from late August to October. Many orchards also offer cider, applesauce, and apple butter.
Peaches, Plums, and Pears: Farms like Butternut Farm in Farmington and the hilariously named Grow a Pear Farm in Charlestown offer these stone fruits and pears during late summer.
Pumpkins and Gourds: Available in the fall, many farms such as Patch Orchards in Lebanon and Brookdale Fruit Farm in Hollis provide pumpkins for pies, jack-o-lanterns, and fall decor. (And yes, pumpkins are technically fruits, not vegetables!)
