Very kid friendly property. Fun for the whole family. big property and lots of room for everyone to move around.
Pick your own apples and other fruit. Great fall decorations, Halloween room for the kids. It's great there. They make their own cinnamon apple jelly. It's delicious!!
This is a great farm to visit if you want to do a pick-your-own seasonal produce. They offer pick-your-own blueberries, strawberries, apples, etc. There is a store that offers fresh items daily if you aren't inclined to go out into the fields. The layout is well established and there is a lot to offer everyone. It's great fun and worth the time to visit.
We went in the Fall, when they have simply hoards of pumpkins to pick and purchase. They also have a Model Railroad with spooky things set up inside the store and barn. Sometimes a Hayride is available, or a Bouncy Castle (for the kiddies), but it depends on the year. It is like a Garden Ctr. /Farm/ Store. Lots of fun & Quaint.
As frequent visitor to smith Farm I thought I could maybe help out people who are new and possibly planning a trip out. After reading a review about the website I thought I'd take a look at it myself and see what I could find. I think with about a minute's worth of reading a potential visitor could get the info they needed and avoid any possible disappointments. Here's what I found....If you want to pick fruit - on the home page there is a bar right under the store name that has topics of interest - "pick your own, tours, farm stand," etc. So you could click on "Pick your Own", there's a drop down with all the kinds of fruit offered - click on the one you want, say for instance "apples" and it immediately brings you to the apple page which shows the orchard hours and other related info. It shows that Monday and Tuesday the orchard is closed (the words are ALL IN CAPS)and then shows the hours for the rest of the week. Another way you could get "pick your own" info quickly from the website - on the home page, click the picture right in the center of the page that says "NOW PICKING" in big letters (I'm not shouting, the letters actually are all in caps)that too will bring you right to the page of what fruit is available. Right now, as all PYO is finished for the year it brings you to the apple page which shows that it is closed for the season and does still show the orchard hours.For the cider donuts, if you just saw the picture and assumed they were available all the time that would lead to disappointment. if you wanted to know more about the donuts they sell at the stand then click on "farm stand" and where the drop down menu shows donuts just click on that. If you do that now you will see that it shows cider donuts are available on weekends (the word "weekends is in black bold letters), you will also see that the last weekend for donuts was this past weekend and they won't be offering them again until Spring. The farm stand phone number is on the website - during the weekends of the busy season it is true that it can be very hard to get through but should not be an issue during weekdays.People have varying opinions about the cost and certainly expensive is in the eye of the beholder - what's reasonable for one person may be expensive for another. If you are looking for the cheapest deal on apples this is not the way to go. The best bet is to wait for your local grocery store to offer a .99/lb deal which usually happens when apples are plentiful. Apple picking is like any seasonal activity, whatever your reasons for wanting to do it, realistically speaking, saving money should not be one of them. (Does anyone go to the Cape in July for the cheap hotel rates?) If you're a family, it'll probably be like most anywhere you bring the kids - they'll want more than you may want to spend and by the end of the day your pockets are going to be a little lighter. (Have you ever heard a kid say "No thanks, you've spent enough.") That being said, to just label everything this farm has to offer as an expensive rip-off is both unfair and uninformed as you'll see below........For people not familiar with the farm, they may not realize that they do more than apples and that there are free and low cost activities available in the less busy season. For instance, did you know every Easter season they have 2 days where they do FREE egg hunt for the kids.It's completely free, no cost, no admission. Strawberry festival - free samples of strawberry shortcake - you should see how people gobble it up. It is really good! Corn festival - free corn on the cob - nice and hot, delicious with butter on it. Again, FREE! And when it's quieter you will find many regulars who come to the farm and just bring the kids to walk around, ride in their strollers, visit the animals, look at the train without ever spending a penny. As the farm does not charge admission they are able to do this totally free - a good way to entertain the kids in nice weather. Also, at various times you may find them giving out samples of cider donuts and many of the jar items they carry such as jams and preserves. People get a kick out of daring each other to try the "Ghost Chili Salsa."So hopefully this helps - with a little more information maybe more people will be able to find an activity that they can enjoy and that fits their budget too.
This farm has had good produce and plants which have grown well over the years we have been returning there.. We go to the farm often and plan to continue. This more of a traditional farm than a Disney type attraction. The prices are not low but we enjoy visiting and the value is reasonable.
We went by the information on the farm's website, which indicated that they were indeed open for Apple picking. Why bother having a nice website if you're not going to keep it updated? Or at least recommend that people call ahead to check (not that they ever answer the phone). So we loaded up the car with my son, cousin, Niece and nephew, drove an hour, talking about Apple picking all the way, only to find out that Apple picking wasn't open that day. The lady kept saying that they have most of their activities on the weekends - they would have Apple picking on the weekends, they only make cider donuts on the weekends, they would have hard cider by the weekend, they only have hayrides on the weekend, on and on.... Again, WHY IS THIS INFORMATION NOT ON THE WEBSITE?? I have never been so disappointed as I was the day that we wasted the last day of our vacation on this place. Don't bother.
I have been going to CN Smith farm off and on since I was a kid and when my kids were little. The produce is great but the last 7-8 years the rudeness in which customers are treated is almost too much to tolerate. There isn't a kind word spoken or a friendly nod from one person working the farm. I understand that you pay for the price of the farm experience but the experience was awful. We went apple picking last weekend with the family and when we paid $22 for a bag that would hold 5 lbs. of apples I nearly died. I paid it and went into the orchard. We were directed to the crops that were available and supposedly ripe. The apples were so high that the only way we could get them was to put the kids on our shoulders and let them pick. There were many workers who were watching us as if we were going to steal every last apple on the trees and hide them in our pants. If you want to pay to be treated like a criminal this is the place for you. I will not set foot on the property again. The staff acts as of you are a real imposition to their lives. Keep your apples. There are a couple of nice little farms in Lakeville on Rt. 105 and that is where I will go in the future.
Our family went to C.N. Smith farm for pumpkins and apples. The apples were quite expensive and very large. When I figured the cost per apple it calculated to about $1.00 per apple.They were in a bag when we made our purchase and when we got home we found several blemished apples. Will not return. When entering and walking around the store and grounds there was not even a pleasant greeting by the staff.
The prices for apples are shocking and outrageous. As another reviewer noted, Honey Pot is $18/$28 (small/large bag). Shelburn Farm $16/$26. This year C.N. Smith is $25/$40. That's more than FIFTY percent higher! I've spoken to five or six others who went to this place and every single one of them was outraged at the ripoff prices. But the farm counts on you paying up anyway, rather than getting back in your car with kids to find another orchard. The large bag is smaller than a paper grocery store bag. We waited in line to park for about 30 minutes, and the parking staff guided us right out of the farm, so we'd have to start the line all over again. Parking staff who were unapologetic and unsympathetic and told us we'd just have to go around again. I'd rather drive another 25 minutes to give my money to nice people who aren't out to screw you, even if I pay af we more dollars in gas to get there. Honey Pot is the best!
Apple picking at it's best with the family! If you want to return to a simple pleasure spending time with the family/friends go apple picking!
I grw up on this farms veggies an fruit..i love going here in the spring an fall they have a large selection of everything you need for the garden ..the petting zoo is soo much fun for the kids as are the hay rides in oct
Whether it is apple picking or a haunted pumpkin patch hay ride C.N. Smith is not to be missed. The kids love it and we love it too. Go early and often and make sure to visit the store for some delicious cider donuts and other treats.
All the fall flowers/pumpkins, etc are there...And you must not leave until you purchase their homemade cinnamon donuts...Some animals for the young children to see; goats, chickens, etc. Lots of Halloween decorations for sale, plus a couple of buildings w/lots of ghosts, goblins, ghouls, etc on display...most are animated...Great treat for the kids and for the "younger" adults to see also..
I had sticker shock when we went to C. N. Smith Farm to go apple picking this year. We went there because it was closer to home, and seemed to have all that you expect from a day out on the orchard (apples, donuts and a hayride for the kids). The small bags were $22 and the large were $40. When I came home I checked what other popular farms are charging and it's a lot less (Honey Pot is $18/$28; Shelburn Farm $16/$26). Hayrides are another $3.50 each person, which adds up when you've got a family of 4. We didn't even bother to look at the donut prices because the line for the donuts was wrapped around the store. They smelled great, but with two tired kids in tow, sitting in line for 20 minutes wasn't worth it. Apple picking was fun. The trees were loaded and the apples were great. But there was nowhere to go to get away from the people. In some of the bigger orchards out west, you can take nice long walks in the orchard and really enjoy the quiet. Given that this is the closest apple picking orchard for those living in the South Shore, I am not surprised by the crowds. But next fall, I don't think we'll go back to C.N.Smith.
