Thanksgiving Dinner...Easy as Pie!

November 1, 2022

Well what do you know - November is here and so are all of those glorious Thanksgiving traditions that go along with the season!  There's family, football, parades, and of course the food, and more food.  That's where Lyman Orchards is coming in for an assist.

For starters, your Thanksgiving gathering wouldn't be complete without pick-ons and appetizers. No need to stress yourself out - it can be something as simple as cheese, crackers and sliced fruit! The Apple Barrel Farm Market has a wide selection of cheeses from local cheese makers, including Mystic Cheese, Arethusa Farm, Winterplace Farm & Creamery, and Cato Corner Farm. Pair with specialty crackers and a variety of thinly-sliced apples straight from our orchards!

And if you wish to slay the day with a smorgasbord of pre-game snacks, we have that covered to!  Choose from specialty chips, dips, sauces and snacks for all kinds of tastes.

And onto the main event!  We've put together a savory seasonal Thanksgiving dinner menu for your holiday gathering including roasted turkey breast, seasonal sides, and all of the trimmings - and of course our award-winning Lyman Orchards High-Top Apple Pie!   Place your order by Wednesday, November 16th at 6pm, choose a convenient pick up time for Wednesday, November 23rd and we'll have your Thanksgiving dinner ready and waiting for you at the Apple Barrel Farm Market!  All you need to do is reheat and serve! Fill out an order form or call your order in to The Apple Barrel Farm Market at 860-349-6000.

Need extra turkey or sides? We'll have plenty of heat-and-serve sides on hand at the Apple Barrel Farm Market ready to go!

And of course the sweet spot of the day-Pie!  Take home Connecticut's best pie as voted by CT Magazine Readers.  From apple to pumpkin, blueberry, and bumbleberry, our locally fresh-baked pies never disappoint!

Pop into our award-winning bakery for a peek at all of our freshly-baked delicacies!  Cookies, pastries, breads, and more.
