| Lyman Orchards PeachFest |
What a great day for a day trip in Connecticut ~ and what a great destination!
Lyman Orchards has been a working orchard for well over a hundred years and their dedication to being an area attraction shows! Not only do they offer a farm market, the Apple Barrel Market, but they also offer "pick your own fruit" seasonally, and host a well played golf course and event venue.
Just about every weekend there is something to celebrate at Lyman Orchards! Whether it be their sunflower maze or corn maze, berry picking, or, as in this weekend's fun, the PeachFest, there is truly something for everyone! Check out their events here: http://lymanorchards.com/events/

| Lyman Orchards Apple Barrel Market |
We started in the Apple Barrel Market, where we picked up come Connecticut native corn, and perused the produce, baked goods (did you see those sunflower cupcakes above?), and, of course PEACHES!
Mmmm! It's coming up on the fall season here in New England, and Peach Cobbler, Peach Fritters, and Peach Cocktails are high on the list!

Have you been to Lyman Orchards?
Did you visit their corn maze or sunflower maze?
Shop in the Apple Barrel Market or play a round of golf at Lyman Golf Course?
I'd love to hear about it in the comments below
Wish I knew about this sooner! We went to the sunflower maze 2 weeks ago and had a blast. The peach festival looked like fun!
ReplyDeleteAlly, it was so much fun and my first time there! I can't wait til' it's corn maze time this fall!
ReplyDeleteLike I previously said via instagram; #drool. My wife and kids are in Maine for the weekend, but I may have to stop at Lyman's by myself. Did you make it to the strawberry festival a few months ago? The shortcakes were delish then as well!
ReplyDeleteThe food was definitely drool worthy Kyle! So good!
DeleteNo, I missed the strawberry festival, but I've come to the conclusion, there's probably a festival every weekend at Lymans! Or, at least, something special going on!
Oh my goodness, the food all looks amazing! I'm going to have to check this out while it's still going on! Is there anything better than Fall in CT?
ReplyDeleteI'm determined to make it back to Lyman Orchards at least a couple of more times this year. What a great little place!
DeleteWe go to Lyman Orchards every fall! The kids love the corn maze. I hadn't seen the Peach festival until your post (and I've seen a couple of other Lyman Orchard blog postings but they were about the sunflower maze!) This is a nice reminder of what is so close to us that is refreshingly fun family entertainment!
ReplyDeleteThere is so much to do locally in CT - and I keep finding more and more to do every day! We have to all return for the corn maze! It would make for a fun family day!
