History
Brackett Orchards is thought to be the oldest family
owned and operated orchard in Maine. The original
descendents settled Limington, Maine in 1783, and as
soon as the land was cleared, apple trees were planted
on a few acres. Manley Brackett is the eighth generation
of Bracketts who still farm the land growing apples and
many varieties of pumpkins and squash. On 75 acres of
farmland, nine varieties of apples are grown, including
the new and great tasting honeycrisp.
In the Fall, bring the family and pick your own fruit
while you experience the tranquility and scenic beauty
of our orchard. Pick your own apples starts in early
September with free hayrides on most weekends.
The farm store is open from mid-August through May, 7
days a week with hours from 8-6. In the Fall, it is well
stocked with all apple varieties, pumpkins, squash,
cider, potatoes, honey,, jams and maple syrup.
