Drew Farms

Hands down the best apple picking experience I’ve ever had.
If you are looking for the crazy, activity-​filled experience that some PYO orchards offer this is NOT the place for you.
Drew Farms is a perfect, personal apple picking excursion. They have apples (four varieties), a pumpkin patch, apple cider and apple cider donuts AND a bonfire with DIY s’mores. There are no crowds, no 30 minute waits to get your apple bag and NO parking madness.
Go to Drew Farms if you want a perfect, quaint, family farm experience.

We took our 3 and 5 year old to Drew Farm a couple weeks ago to do some apple picking. One of the big reasons we picked this location was to avoid some of the crazy crowds at the other larger PYO farms.
Granted, they don’t have as many varieties as some of the other farms, but to be able to go on the tractor ride and walk around picking without 500 people surrounding you made it worth the trip. They also have a small farmstand with cider donuts, flowers, and other stuff for sale.
It was an enjoyable experience and I would go again.

We went apple picking in the fall and loved it. It a very relaxed, nice little farm. Lots of people with dogs, which was nice. They were out if donuts, which was too bad but they did have make your own s’mores! We found this farm to be so pleasant that we will definitely visit again.

Very much enjoyed ourselves. It was a beautiful fall day and the apples were delicious. There were other people there, but not crowded. Very puppy and baby friendly!

We were so impressed at the lack of crowds here, versus the typical giant orchards in Stow where cars are lined up and crowd control is an issue. Granted, they don’t have all the amenities like hay mazes, they DO have apple cider donuts and PLENTIFUL trees. Plus a FREE tractor ride to the orchard, which my 6 year old loved. In addition to the lovely quaint orchard and lack of crowds, Drew Farms also allows dogs to come picking, so we were able to bring our dear, 13 year old fella along with us. It was his first tractor ride and he loved sniffing around the orchard. The people at Drew Farms were exceedingly friendly, and that coupled with the lack of crowds was a welcome respite from the typical fall apple picking we’ve experienced in past years at other orchards.

Went to a birthday party… had a great time. Apple picking was good. Everyone was very nice.

Fantasssstic place to go for apple picking. After calling around other orchards, they told us they were already closed for apple picking. Boo. We were fortunate to come across these guys and were so glad we did! Not only did they have quite a bit of apples left, they let us take our dogs with us! It was a wonderful experience, well worth the drive and quite cheap! How do you beat $ 22 for half a bushel (and they also take credit card!)?! Anyway, we’ll probably be back again next year. Not quite sure why the other reviews were so negative as I thought the place was wonderful and the people were nice. Also, be sure to grab ½ a gallon of cider ($ 5). It’s not from them, but it comes from another local orchard.

Great place to pick your own apples, decent price at $ 22/​bushel. The trees were full of good quality apples. If your looking for a nice quiet orchard to enjoy a fall day picking apples this is the place. No petting zoo or extras here, but it’s just what I was looking for, a place to take my 1 & 4 year old to enjoy nature, apple picking (and tasting ;-)) without all the distractions of some other places. Just a good old fashioned family fall outing. On the way out we picked out some pumpkins & beautiful mums. Great day out.

Today was opening day for pick-​your-​own apples, and we concentrated on Macs and Courtlands. We were surprisingly the only car in the lot, which was amazing considering it was a gorgeous New England day. Perfect weather. We picked from virgin trees.
A half-​bushel now costs $ 22, but well worth the price to spend some peaceful time outdoors and choose your own gorgeous fruit.
Will probably be back in a couple of weeks. Yeah. We eat a lot of apples… and not usually in cakes or muffins or pies.

I love apple picking. And in the past three weeks, I have gone every weekend. It is a great excuse, to walk a little in the beautiful fall weather hand in hand with my man.
The thing I love about Drew Hill is that it is a very small farm. There is a small parking lot and you can take a tractor ride to the top of the hill where all the apple trees are. The view from the top is spectacular. The ground is extra spongy and I would not suggest it for people with a lot of little children. Maybe only one or two kids that way you can monitor more closely. It is not too crowded and the drive from Boston is so quick.
No donuts, apple crisp, or hot cider here. But they do have a small pumpkin patch.

Get away from the city. Drive about 40 minutes beyond Boston’s limits and find yourself at Drew Farms. Situated atop a rolling hill, Drew Farms offers pick-​your-​own apples, a plethora of pumpkins, flowers and an escape from bustling city life that everyone needs!
With eyes bigger than our stomachs, we choose the largest size bag (half bushel) and proceeded to fill it to the brim. Their orchard included McIntosh, Cortland, red delicious and golden delicious apples in long, long rows. We ate a few along our journey and took some amazing pictures of the surrounding foliage.
Although the pumpkins came from Vermont (no pick your own here), we chose two medium beauties and a whopping 40-​pounder! The man who helped us was extremely kind and even offered to carry our goods back to the car! Somehow, we managed the load and made off with load of apples and three pumpkins, to the tune of $ 47.50. Not too shabby.
