Mann Orchards

​Someone brought an incredible blueberry pie from Mann Orchard to the gathering. I made sure to take a photo of the packaging so I can find it again later. I really appreciate that it wasn't overly sweet like most store-bought pies, which allowed the natural flavor of the berries to stand out.

OMG! I cut out a few pieces to serve at my christmas party and saw something weird so I told everyone not to touch it yet. Thankfully they didn't because much to much surprise it was filled with MOLD. I threw those pieces out and pulled the crust off the rest of the pie in the box, ALL MOLD!! Totally disgusting! Thankfully it was caught in time.and i didn't make anyone sick!

Having been coming to manns for years. Each time it gets better! W I like to try something new each time I go in. Yesterday I grabbed some of their veggie cream cheese and it is the best cream cheese I’ve ever had!! Also tried a banana cream pie and it is to die for!! I absolutely love shopping here, the prices are fair and the staff is so nice and helpful.

We ordered apple cider donuts for our wedding and they were such a hit! We got married at an apple orchard during the fall and thought they would be such a nice treat. Guests absolutely loved them and I am so glad we ordered extra! Communication with Matt was excellent, and they were able to deliver the donuts to my venue which was so helpful! Thank you, Mann Orchards!

Mann Orchards is a treasure! We've been going there for years because of their baked goods... pies, scones, etc. always extremely fresh. They also have a little area with tables for coffee and/or pastry. The market itself carries fresh produce, wine, candy. You can't go wrong here.

Love this market with fresh local vegetables and fruits. They have lovely fresh baked muffins and pies as well. The outdoor flowers selections are amazing and potted herbs for the garden were a great price and healthy hearty.

Just visited Mann's for the first time today, a bitter cold February Sunday, on my way back from a NH dairy. I spent all of last Summer driving near and far to visit farms and farms stores. Mann's appears to be a good option for quality produce and baked good (they sell beer and wine, too), but we're currently in the throes of Winter. I look forward to visiting Mann's again this Spring and Summer to see the farm store in its full glory.

Excellent !! 8/22/2024 I've been here numerous times. Its great to have Mann Orchard's Country Farm & Market available. Typically most people may comment on Mann's awesome "Apple selection" or home made country Apple and Blueberry pies amongst the many others they offer. Aside of the pie selection, they have fresh farm veggies and produce of all kinds, home made Jams and so many delicious breakfast pastry's and coffee. The list goes on! Mann's also have seasonal country prepped up gifts. Another goodie of theirs are their sandwiches, I had to write a review! Why bother with a fast food chain when you can have the (sandwich photo attached) that I just had! Who needs "McFood", "BurgerWhat", "WendyWho" "CaneNot" "TacoNothing" or even a local sub shop when you can have this delicious and very fairly priced sandwich. Mann's has them already prepped up on the shelve and ready to go, so when there gone ..they are gone! Excellent I'll be back again and again....

I had their cookies in multiple occasions. I like that their cookies are soft and not too sweet. I've had the raisin cookie and now I had the chocolate one. I recommend both flavors. I would come here for my cookie needs.

The lunch plates are very good. They also have an ice cream stand out front which has some good flavors. Most of all the pies and other bakery items are very good too.

It's not just the great food and ambience - which is already truly awesome. It's also the people who provide top notch service. Going to Mann Orchards is like stepping back into a different world, where the produce and other foods are neatly stacked and of the highest quality, someone is always available to help you find the item that you are looking for, and everyone in the place is happy to see you there, and looks forward to serving you in the best manner possible. If you seek a great experience when you shop - go to Mann.

I love their pies, chicken salad and foccocia bread. I come here weekly to get some of those and to buy a hard cider I can't find anywhere else.

This is a cute farmstand and very pleasant to visit. Their vegetables are fresh and delicious--we loved them! Their baked goods--Nope! The pies are full of artificial ingredients as are all the other offerings such as brownies that contain fake vanilla and ingredients I can't pronounce. The icing on the cake was the chicken salad my daughter bought. We are big fans of cranberry walnut chicken salad that's very popular around the Merrimack Valley so we were hoping that theirs would be a 'player' in this game. Nope! instead of being made while whole white meat chicken it's made of pulverized chicken that's the consistency of pate. Ugh!! The staff was lovely and friendly. We will go there but stick with the vegetables.

The dining area always seemed clean and cozy so i made plans to meet a friend for lunch. I ordered a slice of quiche with side salad, at a very reasonable price. My first impression on being served my dish was that I could've eaten two, it was that skimpy. My second impression after tasting it was that I wouldn't have wanted a second. The quiche was dry and hard and completely lacking in the vegetables that were supposed to be in it. My guess is that it was several days old. The salad was fresh and the dressing tasty, but it wouldn't have fed a hamster. We will not lunch at Mann's again.

We have been going to Mann's for many, many years , and have always enjoyed their baked goods, especially the pies. But for the last couple of years, their quality has be declining at a steady rate. The apple pies don't seem to be made with fresh apples, more like a canned filling. Also, the bakers making the crust really need some classes on a proper flaky pie crust. The last pie we had, it was difficult getting a sharp knife through the dry, hard bottom crust. The crust was like a poor frozen crust that was over cooked. For $13, unacceptable. A good crust makes a pie, it's key. Just sayin, don't think we'll be back Well, my wife thought she would give Mann's another chance, against my better judgment. Now she will not buy baked goods here again. She bought fruit squares, and the crust was the thickness of roughly 3 sheets of paper, and to make matters worse, the bottom crust was actually raw, uncooked. You had to eat them with a fork, because they would literally fall apart if you tried to pick them up because the crust was thin and crumbly. I will say the fig filling was good, but the blueberry texture was mushy, and had a very stale taste, like it had been frozen previously. Mann's is slipping. Too bad

I would like to comment on the beautiful gift basket I purchased from Mann's Orchards this past week. It was incredibly large and quite full of goodies. The apples, pears and oranges were amazing and very large and it even had a pineapple in it plus grapes and bananas. There was so many other food items too like a freshly baked blueberry bread, jam, chocolates, etc. etc. Pat who makes their baskets does an incredible job! I would not hesitate to purchase another one in the future. The price is tremendous for this type of basket!

Such a cute rustic farm. Only place we go for fresh fruits and vegetables. Pastries (chocolate oaties are amazing), pies at Thanksgiving, chicken salads, and more. Also if looking for a place to work they have a nice little dining area.

Years of great apple crisp has now turned into a mushy uncrisp unedible pie. WHAT happened???

Great spot for apple picking! Fresh beautiful apples, great tractor ride for the kiddos and fresh cut corn stalks that have lasted from the second weekend of September and still looking great half way through november! Hay barrels, pumpkins, everything you need for fall! New fave place!

We go yo Manns every once In a while for their lunches. We always order a side salad instead of chips. Depending who takes our order, we are up charged anything from $1. to $2. Which is ok. But yesterday I was told by a woman who's been their for a long time, that it was a $3. charge and whoever told me it was less was wrong. What an attitude she had. She made me feel like I was trying to steal from them. Fact is, I checked out the price of a small salad that gives you twice the amount, and a dressing in their prepared food case, and it was only $2 more. I mean seriously a dollar or 2 is fair but 3? They should have these prices figured out by now, so they are standard. By the way, the person who quoted me a one dollar charge for years happens to be the bakery manager. Come on Manns, get with the program.

The Festival of Lights was beautiful in the second location! Well done! The kids loved it the music going along with was a nice touch!

I enjoy coming to Mann Orchards whenever I'm in Methuen. It's basically a mini grocery store with a cozy farm atmosphere. They have a great selection of produce as well as prepared dishes. I like their chicken pot pies, which come in small individual servings as well as full size pies. As a lover of all things with sugar and carbs, the bakery is the main draw for me. I want to buy just about everything in the case when I'm there but I usually opt for the scones, which come in blueberry and rotating seasonal flavors, like maple and Irish creme. I haven't tried their lunch or coffee but I would like to sometime. My only complaint is the girls at the front register aren't very friendly. I asked one of them if I could leave my basket at the register so I could go to my car and get my wallet. Without even looking at me she said "That's fine" like I was annoying her, even though she wasn't helping a customer. It was pretty off-putting.

Oh. My. GOODNESS!! Because I make an awesome pecan pie, my family & I are usually pretty darn picky about them. While picking up produce today I decided to grab a Mann Orchard pie, I have to say it's really just as damn good as my own. I seriously can say those words have never passed through these lips. Tasty tasty TASTY! I will not hesitate in the future and now want to try all the menu yummies. I'll. Be. Back ;)

Great place. Great pies. I love them. I live .8 miles from the store. The only bad thing is my family calls and wants me to get them pies for holidays. Have you been to the store on days before a holiday. Wow, that tells everyone this is a great business.

We enjoyed going to Mann Orchards during the holiday season. Their pies were great especially their custard and their apple cream. They also had a good selection of produce and I enjoyed their pears and apples. I tried Evercrisp apples for the first time and they were large and sweet. The staff was very helpful.

I'm new to the area, but have been stopping by frequently as of late. Over the summer our family loved getting ice cream at The Barn, average prices, great portions. As for the farm store and bakery, there are so many different things for sale. Ypu can buy fresh fruits and veggies. Baked goods, candy, apple sauce, chilli, porch signs for your house, its really just endless. They also do lunch specials on the weekdays from 11am-2pm. I tried the turkey panini this past week and its was really good, had a little issue with barely having any turkey, but I called them and they apologized and made it right. Definitely worth stopping by.

I had bought 2 pies one pie was chicken pot pie It was very dry and it had 2large chicken pieces in the pie. I had to throw it out and I bought a ham and pepper onion quiche pie and it had burnt onions &peppers in it I don't know who's doing the cooking down there should not be cooking I had to throw the pie because it had a burnt taste to it. Never go there again

I was here recently with my wife to purchase a few of their pies, a pecan and an apple. Needless to say they were both way overly sweet and inedible. One naturally expects a certain amount of sugar to help balance pie flavors in the final product but not this much. Some of these so-called bakers really need to take some classes and relearn their craft because right now they are coasting on this business's reputation.

This is one of my places to go and get fresh produce and delicious homemade pies. It's a great place to hang out at the cafe enjoy a pastry and a cup of coffee. They also have local wines and custom made gift baskets.

OK, so we saw a Facebook post on the official Mann's page advertising "All squash" for $0.25/pound. My mother in law goes down to Mann's and they say, no, squash is not on sale. She does the rest of her business and leaves. My wife, who told her about the sale, calls and speaks to a guy in the produce department who tells her yes, all squash is on sale for $0.25/pound. So my wife calls her mother back and let's her know. My mother in law goes back and is told that no, the squash is not on sale. She even shows the employee the post in their own Facebook page that says this. Nope! No squash for you! So, I understand mistakes happen, but when Mann's publicly attacked my mother in law on their Facebook page, that's over the line. That post is now deleted, but when you publicly attack a customer who has shopped at your store for almost 50 years, something has gone terribly wrong. Shame on Mann's Orchard for being so petty and nasty. I'm not sure what happened to this place, but it sure isn't the Mann's that our family has shopped at for almost half a century. Bye, Felicia!

I want to give this place 5 stars but can't for 1 simple reasons. They can out donuts. They actually ran out of apple cider sugar donuts. They run out every day they only make them from 8am to 12pm. This means that people that work 9-5 will never get any. Here's why I'm so mad you only need to make Apple donuts 2/3 months out of the year. They should be be making more. Other then this bad business model they are a local place. They have: Alcohol, Fresh baked good, Real Olive Oil, It's s cool spot. Went back this morning at 9am to get my hot sugary apple cider donuts. They were cold, hard and I did not like them. I will come here for other items but I will not get fooled again. Disappointed on so many levels

Stopped on a Saturday evening a bit after 6 p on a very nice evening and we were surprised they weren't that busy. Two young ladies behind the window serving and a few people ahead of us in two lines which moves fairly quickly. Hubby and I asked to try the seasonal peach ice cream and wild blueberry. Though the peach was good, the blueberry was better so we each ordered a baby (their smallest) in a sugar cone. When our server brought the first cone over she said the ice cream was rather soft and asked if we wanted a cup just in case. That was very nice of her to notice and suggest that so I asked that the 2nd one by in a cup with the cone on top and she happily obliged. That's service! The ice cream was filled with blueberries and very creamy. Portion of was very fair for the price $3.60 each excluding tax. We were unsure if Mann actually made the ice cream there as there were stickers on the board announcing the flavors that said "Mann Made" but the next day, a local friend said their ice cream is made by Gifford's of Maine. Not sure if that's true but in any event, we're sure to return. I usually take photos but we were to excited and forgot. Must return to complete our "research".

Over priced for not wonderful quality. I'd like to know what shortening they use in their baked goods but can't get an answer Coffee is like water. don't bother!

Most of the time the food that we get at Mann's is really good. We tried a new item that I saw in the cooked food section. It was the country fried chicken with gravy. I cooked it according to package directions. I was really looking forward to it. It was by far the worst, toughest chicken I have ever eaten. Really bad. Poor quality. I spit it out into the trash. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come from Mann's Orchard as far as quality.

Love the food but the young lady with the braids who works in the bakery was very rude and should not be working at Manns.

I love having Mann's Orchards in town. Great products including top quality meats and meals to go and of course pie! Great selection of wine and beers and spirits. Staff is always eager to assist and courteous

A friend ordered a fruit basket to be sent to my home following the death of a family member. Mann Orchards called to arrange delivery, then didn't show, even after I assured them someone would be home and provided an alternate contact just in case they needed it. I followed up that evening and the next day, both times getting a bad attitude. DO NOT order from them. In a time of grieving my priority should not be managing calls from Mann's or tolerating their attitudes. I'm beyond disappointed.

Mann's serves lunch during the weekday and I wish they included it in weekends too! The chicken barn sandwich is delicious. Moist and flavorful on a great soft bun. I had a fried haddock wrap, lettuce, mayo. I don't remember having as tasty and delicately fried haddock as that. And having it in a wrap was awesome. Had the chicken corn chowder that was out of this world delicious. Best I've ever had and I eat a lot of soup. It was full of fresh ingredients. Had just a little kick to it. The broth was rich but not overly thick. I got a cup and wish I had more.

Their pies are usually excellent. Lately, the crumb topped pie topping is raw in the middle. It's happened for the last three I bought. I called the pie shop and spoke to a man who said it's the type of apples they use. Perhaps it's time to find a new type of apple because this is just gross.

I just left from picking up pies for Thanksgiving. I listened to an employee yell at a customer for two minutes because there was a language barrier and he asked for more pies. Then she walked away saying "I am not going to be nice today". Great customer service. Especially around the holidays. Let's be kind to one another.

I grew up not far from Mann Orchards (known locally as "Mann's"), and I didn't appreciate how lucky I was to have a place like this until I left. Mann's is so much more than a "Bakery" as listed on Tripadvisor by default. Manns is a glorified farmstand, now with a bakery and restaurant. So many folks come here for the fresh produce... fruits and vegetables! They also have many other things... salad dressings, wine, chocolate... you name it! But probably the most popular item here is the PIES! The fresh pies are to die for! And while the pies are amazing, my personal favorite thing to do here is buy the Apple Cider, Apple Cider Donuts and some hermits!!! I have to buy those three things EVERY time I come home for a visit. There is a bakery and now they also serve lunch! The sandwiches while not anything fancy, are very good. I don't go for lunch as often as I do for apple cider and coffee. They have tables (beware it gets crowded at lunch time) and my wife and I like to go here and sit and play cards while having apple cider, coffee and donuts. It's fantastic because the ambience is so New England Unique that if a rainy day spoils your plans... this can be it's own location for something to do for a few hours. I miss Mann's so much and hope to visit again around the holidays!!!

Ordered the Strawberry Cream Pie. Wow! Amazing. Went back the next day and got 2 more. Strawberries are sweet, and the whipped cream is fresh and doesn't separate. I thought I was eating strawberry shortcake. Can't wait until blueberry season as the Blueberry Pie is over the moon delicious.

I usually come here for the brownies they are probably the best I had so far, my friend and I came here for lunch and was not busy at all which was good, I hate waiting for food when I am starving, got the haddock wrap with tarter sauce, my friend got the panini both were good and also we got a free slice of pie which was too sweet for me couldn't eat it, I think it was a strawberry pie. They also have a nice selection of fruit and produce

Have bought pies, muffins and other baked goods here many times over the past 20 years!! Last several trips I have been very disappointed by Low quality often stale baked goods and unfriendly employees at baked goods counter who are in a hurry for no apparent reason. During my Last 3 visits the older women behind counter were very harsh and rushed customers when there was no one else waiting to be helped. Better off at Piro's where young employees are pleasant and baked goods are fresh due to high turnover!

BF mentioned that he always come here with his family when he was younger. A lot has changed since then - they are now a much bigger store than the wooden stand he remembers. Lots of different baked goodies here. We left with a strawberry rhubarb crumble pie - delicious - and a zucchini bread (which was the highlight). There are lots of different pies to choose from and most of them are still warm! The strawberry rhubarb crumble pie was great - but a bit of the sour side - just in case you are looking for more sweet - go with a different flavour. The zucchini bread was a delight! It had a great spice to it - I think it was nutmeg - and a bit like carrot cake. Would go back for more zucchini bread!!!

I have mixed feeling about Mann's Orchard. They sold out to Target. Selling over half of their 50 year old orchard to be cut down and a Target department store built. With the $ they built a new beautiful barn type structure to bake their pies and sell their apples. Yes their pies are outstanding (and expensive). I stopped going to Mann's as now I bake my own pies and homemade bread.

Over the past 14 years, I've bought Mann's large pies, 1 apple and 1 mince for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I've NEVER been disappointed! The little store where I ordered them through, though, has treated me and my neighbors rather shabbily (I live in a senior housing complex with 39 units). I'm wondering if they could deliver at the same time they deliver to the little convenience store down the street from me. Next to my late mother's homemade pies, these are the VERY next best! If anyone at Mann's reads this, I hope they'll contact me via email: dormant1@yahoo.com

I'm a fan of Mann Orchards mostly during the fall. Their crumb topped pies, apple cider donuts and caramel apples are to die for. The atmosphere is just charming and I love looking around even if I don't need to buy anything.

I really like the set up of this place - it makes it very appealing and manageable. I picked up a small apple pie and an apple crisp. The kids did not care for the apple pie but the apple crisp cooked up very well at home. The topping came out crumbly and cinnamon-y. The apples inside were not runny and the consistency is what you would want in a crisp. It smelled so good coming out of the oven, I wish we had vanilla ice cream at home to put on top. I was going to pick up some Mann's homemade soda or lemonade, BUT they make it with High Fructose Corn Syrup and (and I am not being snobby or trendy) I really prefer those drinks with real sugar especially if I am going to expend those kind of calories.

I would certainly buy my produce here as opposed to at Market Basket across the street. I was disappointed, however, in how few of the produce items were local. The only ones I could find in the store were raspberries and their own Mihtsu apples. I couldn't find fresh strawberries anywhere. Of course, this being peak strawberry season, it's quite possible they were already sold out for the day, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. The bakery department is the big draw, and that's obvious the moment you walk inside and inhale... .lots of tempting cakes, pies, prepared salads and soups, pot pies, etc. If the dessert plans for the party I'm attending tonight hadn't already been taken care of, that strawberry cream pie in the front of the display case would have been mine!

Stopped in for a Friday lunch at a whim. Apparently, popular. Small lunch menu, as expected with a farm store. The $5.29 Ham and Cheddar Quiche was a good sized portion and the "small" side salad was much more than small. (Plenty for any "Real Man"). It was so good that I forgive the staff for almost giving my lunch order away to the wrong customer. (BTW, who says "real men don't eat quiche"? What kind of a man is intimidated by a scrambled egg pie or an omelet pastry? Is he emasculated by the crust?)

The reason for my one star rating is due to the customer service at Mann Orchards. The staff at the front registers are not friendly and twice I've had issues that needed resolving only to have to deal with the same grumpy woman (who says she's the manager) who either scolds you or treats you as if you are annoying her to a great deal. When it happened once I overlooked her poor attitude, but the second time it happened I decided that whatever Mann Orchards has to offer isn't worth me going back and spending money there. There are plenty of other places to get fruits, vegetables and baked goods that deliver excellent and friendly customer service.

Simply love the lunches here. Best food anywhere at reasonable prices. The shopping is on the pricey side but always excellent quality.

New to the area and officially obsessed with Mann Orchards. Their produce is incredibly fresh and delicious. They have a small selection of homemade specialty jams, salsas, peanut butter and more. I've purchased several of the homemade items and was not disappointed! And, of course, the desserts...the pies, cookies, brownies are out of this world!!

Pleased to say that in the time since my last review, Mann's seems to have "retired" many of their grumpy staff members & replaced them with smiling, happier staffers. A welcome change. Still the same good lunches, tasty soups & excellent sandwiches with their "very fresh right from the bag" chips & 1/2 a pickle. It's a gamble as to whether you get a small slice of pie for dessert or not, seems to depend on the day. Always happy when I do. They still give your receipt a a VERY careful Gestapo-like (not joking here!) review to be sure you paid before you get your food though. I am careful to keep that baby handy at all times. UPDATE - 3/2018 - OOOPS@! Forgot to bring my receipt up when I went to get my sandwich & the lady bit my head off. Got my receipt & she spent like 2 minutes closely examining it. You know, just to be sure I wasn't trying to steal the sandwich or something. The help in this place, UGH. Fireplace is still great (when it's on) & they seem to have added more tables inside. Can be a bit tight, but it's ok as more people can sit now. Just keep that receipt handy kids!

In my life, I have had the joy of wandering around this iconic place twice. I still think about their awesome blueberry turnovers, pies, and preserves, my favorites; a sense of country goodness that often compels me to call family members and ask if they'll send me a care package...to my house in California. They never do. For generations, families have praised the baked goods at Mann's Orchards, like it is a kind of Valhalla of pies. I hope they keep up the quality and the memories.

Was there today! Normally I love going there but with the corona virus they were not sanitizing any of the carriages. I will not go back till this is over or they make changes

SO HAPPY with the service and quality of a beautiful basket....delivered the same day! I live in upstate NY (way north of NYC :) I needed a gift basket for a colleague staying in the Boston area after surgery. A friend who lives in Metheun recommended Mann Orchards. The recipient of the basket is a big Patriots fan. Mann's didn't carry Patriot garb but Pat went out and purchased items to go into a huge beautiful basket with fruit, baked goods and treats for the adults and two children. Pat hen sent me two photos to show me what they sent. Customer service is excellent and the family loved everything.
