There's nothing quite like the taste of summer in Connecticut. From crisp salads made with freshly harvested greens to sweet peaches enjoyed on a warm afternoon, the best flavors of the season come from produce grown close to home.

At the Apple Barrel Farm Market, we're proud to offer a selection of fresh, local produce from Connecticut farms throughout the growing season. Lyman Orchards partners with local growers who share our passion for quality and fresh, seasonal food. These partnerships allow us to bring our customers an even wider variety of Connecticut grown produce at its peak.

Fresh Flavors of Summer

Summer is one of the best times to enjoy local produce, with fields and farms across Connecticut bringing in an abundance of colorful fruits and vegetables.

Sweet Corn

A true summer favorite, Connecticut-grown corn is a must-have for backyard barbecues, family dinners, and summer gatherings. Whether you enjoy it simply with butter and a little seasoning or add it to your favorite recipes, fresh corn is one of the season's most anticipated harvests.

Juicy Peaches

Nothing says summer quite like a perfectly ripe peach. Sweet, fragrant, and full of flavor, peaches are delicious on their own, baked into a dessert, or sliced over yogurt, ice cream, or your favorite summer salad.

Fresh Tomatoes

Summer tomatoes are a kitchen staple for good reason. Their bright flavor makes them perfect for sandwiches, salads, salsas, sauces, and simple dishes that let their natural taste shine.

Crisp Lettuce

Fresh lettuce is the foundation for countless summer meals. From garden salads topped with seasonal vegetables to crisp sandwiches and wraps, locally grown greens bring freshness and flavor to everyday dishes.

Green Beans, Squash, and Beets

These seasonal vegetables add variety and color to summer meals. Roast them, grill them, sauté them, or enjoy them fresh. There are countless ways to bring local produce from the farm to your table.

Supporting Connecticut Farms

When you choose locally grown produce, you're supporting the farmers who help make Connecticut's agricultural community thrive. Every purchase helps keep farmland productive, strengthens local businesses, and connects you with the people who grow your food.

At the Apple Barrel Farm Market, we love being part of that connection. From our own orchards and fields to the farms we partner with throughout Connecticut, we're committed to bringing you fresh, high-quality produce you can feel good about serving your family.
