    The $20 admission fee (for ages 3 and above) might seem steep, especially if your group consists mainly of adults. Additionally, there's an extra $20 charge per bag for fruit picking. However, this admission fee provides access to a wide array of captivating attractions, including a sprawling 2-acre corn maze, a picturesque sunflower field, and an engaging barnyard play area. These activities offer plenty of enjoyment for both children and families, although if the adult-to-child ratio is high, it might not offer the best value. Overall, it's a delightful place to visit with amiable staff. However, I feel compelled to recount a specific incident involving a manager whose name starts with "Ma." While we were in the u-pick area, she was seated in a golf cart at the far end, observing us. Despite challenging conditions, such as scorching sun and tired parents holding sleeping children, she repeatedly directed us towards the exit. Unfortunately, she did not open the makeshift gate leading to the "lookout" restaurant, forcing us to take a lengthy detour back to the restaurant. Was she technically in the wrong? Not necessarily. However, it did not align with the typical expectations of a "family farm," where one might anticipate a greater degree of understanding about the challenges families face in such situations. She conducted herself professionally but lacked the extra touch of empathy that can make a family outing truly exceptional.

    This farm is beautiful and seems like a very well-oiled machine. We went with friend last weekend after looking for a orchard within driving distance from Boston. It was a beautiful day, and everything seemed very well-organized and I appreciated the parking attendants directing everyone where to go, signage, etc. It was a September Saturday so I do not blame them for being swamped, 'tis the season in New England. The issue I DID have however, was that every person age 5+ is required to purchase a bag to pick apples, with the smallest one being $24. Yes, that's the most I have ever paid for apples, but the world is expensive and literally everyone has had to raise their prices, it's just one of life's necessary evils. However I think it's really disappointing that everyone has to purchase a bag. My husband and I spent $48 right off the bat before doing anything (we have a 2 year old, and the three of us can only eat so many apples!). I would have preferred to purchase one larger bag for our family instead of us being forced to each have one. Friends we were with felt the need to lie about their child's age and say she was four because they also did not need this many apples for their family. We had another adult friend with us who was just visiting for the weekend and is a flight attendant, who had to figure out some way to transport all these apples back with him only to fly out again and have them potentially go to waste. He was planning on just coming with us to enjoy the day, and he was forced to purchase an entire bag of apples he did not need. I don't really see how letting people walk around without a bag and just enjoy the space with others would be detrimental or cost the farm any extra money - they seemed to be doing just fine (and we did in fact spend even more money getting food, drinks, donuts, etc. I would have bought a caramel apple too - my favorite! - but the farm stand store was mobbed and literally sold out of everything). We had a nice time, but it was truly one of the most expensive family days we've ever had and I'm not sure it was worth the experience. I ran into a coworker while I was there who said she had been coming for years and like other reviewers, lamented the loss of the train and the playground and said that was a big reason her family loved coming there so much. In the future, I would stick to a smaller family farm, where you can get a similar experience for much less $$$ and with less rigid requirements for apple picking.

    Have to say it’s a nice farm with varieties of fruits to pick by seasons. They have outdoor dining and live music on weekends . But the steep price to enter and buy a bag .. price for a tiny bag on weekdays is $36 bucks which will store only maybe 8 apples is the most . It’s ridiculously overpriced for a tiny bag. Not even worth it to come here if you’re into apple picking. There’s better places out there that provide double the size of the bag .

    Overall a good place for a group gathering. Pros: plenty of apples, pears and peaches to pick from. The trees are small, so you don’t have to worry about people injuring themselves. Great place for physical activity, taking Instagram pictures. 90% the fruits are in great conditions. Cons: expensive entry fee. There’s no way those bags can hold 15 lbs of fruits. My bag broke. There are many fruits wasted on the ground... Overpriced restaurant food. Parking takes forever if you visit on a Saturday afternoon. Watch out for the bees near the pear trees, and ants on the peach trees.

    Families BE AWARE no more train, animals, playground area, or kids' musicians. This is JUST apple picking and a restaurant. Could have been advertised better that it's changed, but I don't want to give low stars because for what it IS, it's very nice. But I'd charge less per bag since all the other attractions are gone - I'd more readily return if it were $15. Staff was really friendly.

    Just. Don’t. Go. Overpriced farm compared with other farms in the area. $30 - $35 for entry is steep for what you get - actually for what you don’t get. (Also $15 for purchasing a pumpkin is ridiculous too!) - no tractor rides - you’ve gotta walk miles to even get to the playground or corn maze. - playground and corn maze are miles away from the entrance - all the way towards the back of the farm. - playground was sadly dated. Wood structures - specifically the play tree house had lots of deteriorating wood. - haphazard playground that is not geared towards kids having a good time. - just a bunch of random decorations. - Lookout beer is mediocre. - apple farm is immature. Small trees. - only positive if you live in Boston is that it’s close - distance wise. Staff is a mixed bag. Old timer staff is great. The young staff members are uniformly rude and unhelpful.

    A little bit pricey entry fee per person, but our 3-year old and us had a blast! Didn't get a chance to try their food, but based on the reviews I don't think we missed out too much. The Asian pears taste great, the apples, so so. We will definitely come back for different fruits! Some tips... Bring lots of water and a hat if it's hot. Also the grape vine trail, as gorgeous as it is, could be a bit of a walk. So bring a stroller if you're bringing a younger kid.

    Sunday morning brunch was edible, nothing too fantastic in the food department. The house hard cider was pretty tasty! Definitely give the alcoholic cider a try. No animals seen, possibly just plants and a vineyard on the property

    Good beer, but tons of little kids on a Sunday. Nachos took 30+ minutes to come out and were burned.

    Great vibes for the fall season. They have five varieties of apples to pick from and the walk through these orchards is well laid out. Some grape vines in between, but you cannot pick grapes. One person in our party got excited about it and jumped to pick them, then the staff told us not to. 😂 You pick bags are $20 with online purchase($24 for walk-in). Plenty of Gala, Macintosh and Golden apples, the other two types were limited. We came home with at least 10 apples/person. There’s also dining area, they sell ciders, beer and pizza. The brisket sandwich 🥪 is everything you want it to be! Meaty, juicy with the perfect amount of salt. We also picked their peach jam from the farm, super fresh and tasty. You can spend a whole day here and have fun. 🥳

    This place is fantastic. Great ciders, wicked good pizza, I had the pulled pork,eggs and hashbrowns for brunch and was blown away. The seating is excellent on a beautiful day and it's good for families or an afternoon date.( that's what I did with my wife) 10/10 would recommend

    Having been to 5-6 farms outside the Boston area- this is probably my least favorite of all the ones I’ve visited- mainly being the outrageous prices. $30/person for admission to the apple orchard and you’re handed the most hilariously small bags to pick from. The cans of cider were also super expensive- $26 just to drink 2 cans of mediocre cider. The breakfast pizza was pretty solid but the chicken biscuit was disappointingly dry. Trying to go through the different types of apples involves a LOT of walking with no option to take a hat or tractor ride. $7.50 for 3 donuts that didn’t even seem fresh. Overall spent way more money than I would have liked - go anywhere else for your fall farm experience

    Came here for a friends birthday party on a Saturday night, in early June. Place was dead…but it was also unseasonably cold that evening. I have not been here before but honestly wasn’t super impressed with our experience. We sat in the “greenhouse” area which was well covered and had A LOT of seating. Live music was great and the staff was super friendly. Where it fell short for us was how the ordering process was set-up, and the selection of beers/beverages. There was no window service or table service and everything was done via QR code and online ordering. No option to open a tab or talk to a server before ordering. Just a third party website with an online menu and the need to place several separate orders every time you wanted another drink or small plate. Menu was ambitious but the flavors didn’t deliver. Our party of 8 ordered almost every menu item and the food never seemed to be a talking point. Beer selection was minimal and unimpressive. Didn’t get a chance to check out the small gift shop they had as we were rushed off property as they were trying to close. We were the only people left as it was pretty cool that evening. I’d be open to giving this place another shot but we weren’t blown away by much at all.

    Took my mom here when she was visiting from India in 2018. We are from Mumbai so don't really have the experience of having our own farm and of such activities. She enjoyed the place to the fullest. The train that goes around the farm is real fun. It was fun mommy daughter day out. The Nectarines and Peaches are delicious. I plan to take her again sometime soon.

    What a gem of a place to find! This is about 30 minute drive, and well worth it on a Sunday. The farm was well organized and properly labeled for patrons to know where the good pickings were. The fruit was delicious, as you would expect from a farm. They had cooked meals for sale and outdoor seating. Also plenty of portable bathrooms, and even a baby changing station. I could easily make a day of it here, and plan to return.

    Such a fun experience! We had a great time picking apples, pears and peaches. There is lots of shaded trails thanks to the grapevines. There is an abundance of fruit to pick from. We also enjoyed the delicious apple cider donuts. Very friendly and helpful staff. We will be back!

    Great place, however, picked an awful time to go. We are here at 1pm on a Saturday and the taproom is pretty much Chucky Cheese. Completely overtaken by screaming children. Not faulting the place for attracting this type of business, but as a couple looking to enjoy the beer and cider in a nice atmosphere, I would not recommend.

    I ended up going here a few days ago for some beers and ciders with friends. I ended up getting a cider flight and I absolutely loved it. All 5 ciders on the flight were delicious and definitely made me want to come back. If you are a big cider fan, you will absolutely enjoy it here. However, if you want craft beer, then this is not the place for you. My friend ordered all 6 beers on a flight and, out of the 6 of them, only one of them was somewhat enjoyable. I would not recommend this place if you are going for craft beer specifically. I am rating it a 4/5 because the ciders were so good, the atmosphere was nice, and the food we ordered (just some apps) were very good but the beer outside of the ciders were just not that great.

    This place has a lot to offer. You can reserve one of the tables, have lunch, hard ciders and beer. The food is really fresh, beer and cider flights are good and offer a wide variety of flavors. The staff is as good as it gets, everyone is walking around with a genuine smile. Hit the u-pick afterwards or the farm stand, the fruit is fantastic. They offer beer and cider four packs to go and you can pick single cans too.

    Awesome place to spend the day hanging out. With the cool New England weather, go pick apples ( which have a great selection of variety). They have a picnic area for sitting and, of course, apple cider donuts! The walkway is pretty. Spend the day there, it's worth it!

  • 5/5 Maureen W. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely local farm. We popped in w the kids 4pm on a cold Thursday afternoon & had a lovely craft beer, and perfect food for kids. Relaxed indoor dining in winter greenhouse. Recommend for a casual dining feast

    I had my tented wedding reception of about 185 people at Lookout Farm and must say that it was one of the best weddings I’ve ever been to, not even biased because it was mine! Everything was flawless and the atmosphere was totally amazing. We had a BBQ menu which was so elevated with the quality of the food and signature menu items. Colleen and her entire staff were beyond amazing and they truly treated us like family. We haven’t stopped getting glowing reviews of our guests’ experience at the farm. It was an absolutely phenomenal experience. Colleen- we love you!

    Super quaint taproom. Excellent ciders and food!!

  • 3/5 Olga M. 10 months ago on Google
    Tried the outdoor dining tonight. A disappointment. The menu is long, but everything we ordered was a fast-food quality, not great tasting and unattractive. Couldn't finish the beer either. Lots of garbage from packaging, McDonald's does better. It's a bummer because the idea of a beer garden is great and setting is very pleasant.

    Lookout Farm us amazing! The sunsets at the lookout while You dine there are breathtaking. Their organic Asian pears and heritage apples are decadent. And best of all the fact they use their produce to make their own hard cider and beer that actually tastes tasteful and not like cough syrup is delicious and relaxing. The Hop Up Cider is one of a kind and you’ll never find anything like it anywhere else. The rose cider is an experience you can’t pass up. I love to get together with friends there and have a drink or two while the kids have plenty of space to move around either at the greenhouse or the lookout. I’ve learned that they are soon opening the actual kids zone and I cannot wait to take my son back. I know this farm had to make huge efforts to stay operating during and after covid and that’s amazing because they are truly a gem. Just like the pandemic took time to be lifted I’ve given the farm time to bounce back and every time they deliver. I can’t wait for what’s to come. Lastly, I booked an event at the greenhouse and my party was upgraded to the taproom the day of the event and my guests had a blast! I was able to offer over 60 guests delicious food and alcoholic drinks fresh out of the bar for my son’s 1st birthday and stay within my budget. The beautiful setting helped me save money on deciration and spend all my money on food and drinks for my guests. My guests left happy and could not express how happy they were with their experience with the food and drinks. The staff went ABOVE and BEYOND and the managers especially Sara really cared that my guests and I had the best experience possible. And best of all I didn’t have to lift one finger and was able to focus on having fun with my family and guests. As a first time mom I’m truly grateful that the farm was able to help me make the best memories for my son’s first birthday since we didn’t get to have a baby shower due to covid. Thank you 🙏🏼

    Excellent selection of ciders and a few beers. Stools at the bar and low tables in the main room. Lively entertainment on Saturday nights. Come for the beverage, crowds and music. Don't expect much conversation, as it gets loud!

  • 5/5 Ken P. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff, quality shirts, jams, craft beer, ciders, and salsa. So fun.

  • 5/5 lynne s. 5 months ago on Google
    So glad these folks have reopened their taproom. Great cider, great beer and the food is awesome as well. We shared a bucket of biscuits, chili lime bone in chicken wings and fried pickles. We are eating a 3 meat combo of top notch brisket, ribs and the juiciest sausage we have had! I hope we have room for dessert! If you have been thinking to come here, do it! We will definately be back!

    Great place to hang and sample the beer at Lookout Farm on a lazy Sunday afternoon. They have food and live music on Friday and Saturday nights. I live the tractor grille beer tap!

  • 5/5 Dmitriy A. 6 years ago on Google
    This is a great local Farm. More importantly they have what is probably the best cider in the world. Beer is great as well. Super friendly bartender from Galway!!!
