Bracketts Orchards

The highlight of the year, Maine Apple Sunday, on September 15, 2024, invites visitors to celebrate the joy of apple harvesting across our numerous orchards. Participants ranging from southern to northern Maine offer a rich array of activities, including free product samples, pumpkin patches, and apple-themed games, creating a vibrant community festival atmosphere.

Orchards like Bailey’s and Kents Hill open their doors with hands-on picking experiences and exciting prize draws, while Boothby’s and Ricker Hill mix rustic charm with modern engagements like wine tasting, corn mazes, and artisan markets. Visitors also enjoy entertainment from musicians and balloon artists, ensuring fun for all ages.

Join us in exploring the varied orchards, each presenting unique attractions such as wagon rides, cider donuts, cheese tastings, and even new pastry launches. This extensive, state-wide event combines tradition with community spirit, offering an inviting weekend for families and apple lovers alike.
