Fall Activities

At Hickory Hill Orchard, we offer a true pick-your-own experience with the largest variety of apples in Connecticut! Stroll through our picturesque orchard, hand-selecting crisp, ripe apples straight from the trees. Bring your own bag or basket, and when you’re finished, we’ll weigh your haul at checkout—pricing is per pound, so you can pick as many or as few as you’d like. Whether you’re stocking up for baking, snacking, or cider-making, our diverse selection ensures you’ll find the perfect apple for every taste. Come enjoy the fresh air, the beauty of the orchard, and the joy of harvesting your own fruit!

All aboard the Hickory Hill Express for a journey back to Colonial New England! At Colonial Hickory Hill, kids can step into the past and let their imaginations run wild in our charming, history-inspired village. Explore the old-fashioned schoolhouse, chapel, and firehouse, or try your hand at horseshoes by the blacksmith’s shop. Get messy making mud pies in the Cider Shed, then dive into adventure in our town square corn pit. With endless opportunities for hands-on fun, it’s a place where history and play come to life!

Raise a glass to the flavors of fall with our seasonal drinks and craft cocktails! Sip on fresh-pressed apple cider, indulge in a steamy cup of cocoa, or try one of our signature fall cocktails featuring warm spices and orchard-fresh ingredients. Whether you’re craving a classic cider or a cozy autumn-inspired libation, we have the perfect drink to complement your day at the farm!
