Perhaps more than any other time of year, fall has a ton of activities that are unique to the season. Chili cook-offs, hay rides, corn mazes, fall foliage train rides, haunted houses…we could go on and on. If you’re looking for a fall destination that combines all the best parts of the season, look no further. Holmberg Orchards in Gales Ferry is the perfect fall day trip in Connecticut!
This family-owned orchard has been around since 1896. There’s so much going on here! Throughout the year, they have a variety of pick-your-own crops.

There’s also a wine and cider bar, featuring drinks made on site. The fall season brings apples, pears, and pumpkins to the pick-your-own orchards.

Holmberg Orchards is famous for their bakery. They’ve got cookies, pies, apple crisps, muffins, and more.
Holmberg Orchards The food doesn’t get much fresher than this. How delicious does a hot apple cider donut sound, made with apples grown fresh on the farm? You can get them individually or in half-dozen packs (and we won’t judge you if you eat them all).
Purchase of a picking container allows you to mix and match what types of produce you put inside of it. You can go with a 3-pound option or a family-sized 13-pound container.
Holmberg Orchards & Winery/Facebook The orchards grow several different varieties of both apple and pears. Staff are happy to help you determine how to choose fruit that’s ripe and flavorful.
This is such a beautiful orchard and a great family outing!
