Pick Your Own

 

Apples warmed by afternoon sun encircle a historic barn.

Mack’s U-Pick is now open and will run daily 10am-5pm through the season.

 This is THE place to “Pick Your Own”. Orchard after orchard of ripe apples, and next to almost every one, a pumpkin patch! It’s one FUN Pick Your Own experience. We open around mid-August and our season typically runs through November 1st. Theres lots of places to picnic, trails to hike, and in certain orchards, observation decks for you to take in all the glory of harvest in New Hampshire. Call our Hotline, anytime, for the latest picking conditions and find out what varieties are ready: (603) 432-3456. You can also find out what going on by following us on Facebook and Twitter.

About Mack’s U-Pick:

  • We have one of the largest pick your own operations in southern NH. Follow the U-Pick maps to our various U-Pick  stations that are placed around the farm. You’ll want to drive… all U-Pick stations are a ways from the Farm Market. What’s open depends on what’s ready! Best way to find out what’s ready… call our recorded Hotline at 603 432-3456.
  • Our pick your own works on the honor system. We want you to sample fruit in the orchard (its part of the fun!) the way it works out is that you pay for 99% of what you pick. Please do not overfill your bag. We charge by the pound for overpicking. Bags can be purchased as you enter the orchard.
  • Nearly every U-Pick orchard has a pick your own pumpkin field next to it!
  • We only accept cash, or checks drawn on NH banks at U-Pick. We are not able to accept out of state checks, or credit cards at this time.  
  • We have beverages for sale: water and soda at U-Pick.
  • Bring a picnic lunch! There are many spots to have a picnic around the farm. One real nice spot is just north of our historic barn, by the farm pond.
  • Walk the trails! There is a very nice trail connecting a couple of our major orchards, with a connector that runs through the forest in between. It’s called the Adams Pond Trail and is maintained by Londonderry Trailways. Visit their site for a map.  

NOTE: The 2010 Harvest is running early. Figure at least one week earlier than normal. Please call our Hotline to see what’s available, (603) 432-3456.

About Our Pumpkins

Land of the Pumpkin King: We have 35 acres of pumpkins and squash… mostly pumpkins! Many pumpkin fields are “pick your own” - all our pick your own apple orchards have adjoining pumpkin fields. Cool, huh? There’s all sorts of varieties and sizes… even ghostly white ones and ghoulish ones with warts! Our Farm Market also features huge displays - it’s not uncommon to see more than a 100 tons of pumpkins on display at Mack’s!  There’s not many things more fun than turning the little ones loose in a huge field of pumpkins in September or October. Make sure your camera’s ready!
