Reserve Your Day in the Country!

Lyman Orchards has it all!

Located on more than 1,000 acres in the heart of the Connecticut River Valley, our orchards, 36-hole championship golf club, historic homestead, bakery, eatery, and Apple Barrel market are full of scenic beauty, charm, and fascinating things to see and do for people of all ages.

Our hospitality goes back a long way!

The Lyman Family has been part of the Middlefield community since 1741. Our goal is to have your guests experience the traditions of a good old fashioned country gathering that never gets old, even after 260 years.
