Holmberg Orchards

Holmberg Orchards at Gales Ferry runs a picking window of four hours a day, six days a week, and closes it at one o'clock.

What You Can Pick

• Blueberries and raspberries - summer
• Peaches - late summer
• Apples and pears - autumn
• Pumpkins - autumn

Good to Know

In the farm's own words: "Summer Season is HERE! Picking is OPEN 9-1 TUESDAY TO SUNDAY."

A nine-to-one window means the fruit is picked in the cool half of the day, which is the right way round for berries and unusual to see enforced.

There is a farm market and a winery on the same site.

Pro tip: one o'clock is a hard stop, not a wind-down. On a farm this size that means arriving at half past twelve gets you thirty minutes, so treat it as a morning outing or do not bother.
