Easy Pickins Orchard

You can look forward to the warmest of welcomes at Easy Pickin’s Orchard!

“Easy Pickin’s Orchard is a pick-your-own farm in Enfield, CT. Since opening in 1992, we’ve expanded “what we grow” to include tree fruit, berries, vegetables, herbs & flowers.  We aim to provide good, fresh produce to our customers, who enjoy, appreciate and support local agriculture — what we grow and how we grow it.  In addition to “pick-your-own,” we sell our produce at the farm and at several farmers’ markets, summer & winter. In apple-picking season, we have special activities; all season long we welcome visitors of all ages to enjoy grocery shopping outdoors: fresh produce in the fresh air.  Know your food and where it comes from; know your farmer; keep it local.  We’ll see you here, where the pickin’ is easy!

Our raspberry season starts with 6 varieties of red summer raspberries, ripening from the beginning of July and continuing throughout the month ! In order of ripening, these varieties are Prelude, Reveille, Killarney, Lauren, Taylor, & Encore.

In August our fall raspberries begin to ripen. We have 5 varieties of red fall raspberries that give us fruit until a hard freeze, usually in October. These varieties, in order of ripening, are Polana, Autumn Britten, Autumn Bliss, Caroline, & Heritage.

The raspberry “canes” (bushes) are pruned each year to thin out older growth & winter frost-damage, and to encourage new shoots to flourish. Fall raspberries are often mowed down completely and allowed to grow back “from the ground up” so that the entire berry patch will be young & vigorous.
