Meadowbrook Orchards

Meadowbrook Orchards is a working farm on 100 acres of rolling land in central Massachusetts, run by the Chandler family for five generations since 1912. The orchard grows four kinds of apples along with blueberries, pumpkins, nectarines and raspberries. Its farmstore, bakery and restaurant sell apple pie, fresh pastries, homemade jams and preserves, and a house barbecue sauce, alongside local Massachusetts foods.

The restaurant serves hot breakfasts and lunch specials, and the kitchen closes earlier in the day than the bakery and shop. The farmstore, bakery and restaurant are open year-round, Wednesday through Sunday. Guests can sit on the deck with fresh coffee and a view of the fields, or take home homemade heat-and-serve entrees for dinner. Apple picking and disc golf are also offered, and whole pies can be ordered ahead.
