Litchfield County
Averill Farm – 250 Calhoun St, Washington Depot
The apples and pears are grown in the 30 acre orchard on a gorgeous hilltop in the beautiful Litchfield Hills and are sold both as picked fruit and pick-your-own (PYO). Some 100+ varieties are grown, about 20 of which are available for customers to pick. Early apples come at the end of July or beginning of August and are sold at farmers markets. The PYO season begins mid August, when the orchard stand opens, and stays open seven days a week, 9:30am to 5:30pm, or dusk (after the time change), until Thanksgiving.
We sell our own cider, apple cider donuts, cut flowers, and homemade the old-fashioned way jams and jellies. We also sell locally-sourced pies, pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn, mums, maple syrup, honey, cheddar cheese, garlic, potatoes, some tomatoes, and gifts. After Thanksgiving, we sell fruit, cider, and Christmas trees from our homestead until the Christmas Tree season ends on December 24. After that, any remaining apples are sold from cold storage.
