About Samascott Orchards

Samascott Orchards is a popular pick-your-own fruit and vegetable farm that offers a wide variety of seasonal produce. The farm charges a small admission fee of $5, which is considered reasonable compared to other places. Visitors can bring their own containers or purchase them for around a dollar. The staff is generally helpful, although there have been a few minor mix-ups with the containers.

The fields can get quite busy, especially during peak seasons, and the farm attracts many out-of-state visitors, giving it a somewhat touristy atmosphere. The produce, such as small but sweet strawberries, plentiful black raspberries and blueberries, and fresh broccoli and cucumbers, are reported to be of good quality and reasonably priced. Visitors often find plenty of apples to pick, with some reviews mentioning apples priced at $1 a pound.

The farm also has a small on-site shop that sells various local products, including cider, honey, and maple syrup. While the no-refund policy can be frustrating if the pickings are slim, Samascott Orchards is generally considered a fun and enjoyable experience for families and visitors. The farm has a charming fall vibe, especially during the pumpkin season, with carved pumpkins and delicious apple cider made from their apples. The overall experience is often described as beautiful and perfect for outdoor family outings. However, some visitors have noted that security checks at checkout can be quite intense, with vehicles being searched thoroughly, which might feel a bit strange. Despite this, many still leave happy after a great day outdoors.
