We're proud to share that Lyman Orchards has been nominated for Best Apple Orchard in the USA Today 10Best Readers' Choice Awards!

For more than 280 years, Lyman Orchards has been farming right here in Middlefield, Connecticut, and this year, we were honored to be named Best Pick-Your-Own Farm in Connecticut by Connecticut Magazine. Every fall, our hills come alive with visitors from far and wide picking crisp, juicy apples while taking in our scenic orchard views.

Now, we have a chance to be recognized as the Best Apple Orchard in the country, but we can't do it without YOU!
