Dowse Orchards

Located in Boston's Metro West area, we are honored to be a Massachusetts Century Farm with our 200-year history of family production in Apples, Vegetables, Greenhouse Crops, Flowers, Christmas Trees and Pumpkins, to name just a few. We have operated a roadside farm stand for more than 60 years, selling the products we raise on a seasonal basis.

Today's farms are becoming more diversified, and our farm now offers more than just fruit and vegetables.  You will find brilliant spring flowers grown in our greenhouses, a wide selection of popular perennials, seasonal fresh harvest vegetables, our many kinds of apples, and the freshest Christmas trees ready for you to cut.  Our Farm Stand also offers maple syrup, our own line of preserves, gift baskets, sweet apple cider pressed fresh every week, and of course our apples.  McIntosh, Cortland, and Macoun are among the many favorites of the more than 20 varieties we raise.

Throughout the year we monitor and care for more than 50 acres of apple trees, and as fall arrives we anticipate picking the more than 20 varieties of eating and cooking apples as they reach the peak of flavor.
