Russell Orchards

I love it here for a few reasons First is the quality of the fruit. Each field is full of little gems, tiny bombs of flavor. The way fruit is supposed to look and taste, not like the overwatered massive monstrosities you find at the supermarket or some other PYO operations. The whole farm itself also looks a little more wild and natural than your typical outfit. Second I appreciate the land acknowledgement they have on their website and the fact that it includes actionable real things that they do. Third everyone working here and the ownership are welcoming, open, and kind. This is the place!

Such a cool experience! So much to try from a well stocked shop. Apple picking is available but way more than we needed for a few days in town. We enjoyed a few good items and a hot non alcoholic cider. Lots of other produce from specialty wines, honey, baked goods, whole pies, ice cream, cooking books and much more. 🥧🍎🍏🍯🍦

We always stop at Russell Orchards on the way to crane beach. We love their baked goods and freshly harvested fruit. Their grapes were incredible - I’ve never tasted such flavorful grapes in my life. Highly recommend a stop here - bring an extra cooler if you’re heading to the beach for the day to stock up on things from their shop! We also love looking at the animals. Typically, we’ll see ducks, donkeys, a horse or two, goats and pigs.

A very nice place to visit. We spoke with a nice woman there who was very knowledgeable about the farm and answered questions we had. They have a few animals outside to see as well as a pretty little pond. Lots of goodies for purchase inside as well as fresh baked pastries. A nice wine selection made with on farm produce. Prices varied and were a bit more than a grocery store but this is supporting a local business and local sourced goods.

An apple farm, with a bakery, a winery, tractor rides, animals, and so much more, when you visit North of Boston Russell Orchards in Ipswich is a must visit. Known for their Bakery and fresh made pies, as well as their fresh made apple cider donuts. . this 120 ache family farm with scenic views and friendly animals, has been operating since 1920. and their very popular fruit wines draw crowds year round.

A beautiful farm to visit! I was not able to go into the farm itself for picking but I will this fall! The farm store has a variety of foods including fresh fruit, corn and ice cream! There was also a wine bar which was a surprise to be sure but a welcome one. I also had some raspberry sorbet there which was some of the best ice cream I've ever had! I highly recommend visiting Russell Orchards!

Russell Orchards is an awesome farm that I love visiting. They have a shop with so many great things inside. You can buy lots of apples and produce inside, there is a really good bakery, an ice cream stand, and a room filled with lots of wine. I love their apple cider donuts - they are absolutely delicious and they are not covered in cinnamon sugar but they don't need to be. Their mulled cider too is some of the best I've had. If you walk past the store, there is a very pretty pond with lots of ducks. Their chicken coop and barn is just next to the pond too where you can see the animals. There are several dozen chickens, 2 pigs, some donkeys and goats, a sheep, and some horses. Everything is maintained very well and the animals seems to be taken very good care of. The farm also has apple picking in the fall, and lots of berry picking on other months throughout the year. In the fall they run a donut stand for when it gets extra busy when everyone wants donuts. It's a great place to visit in the fall especially. Everything about this farm is very cute and is also decorated very well. There are also electric vehicle charging stations.

What a spectacular place to visit in the Fall! Giant pumpkins, home made cider donuts, delicious Apple cider hot and cold, wine, amazing apples! Everyone is super friendly! Tables and chairs scattered around the premises to Enjoy your purchases! A happy,happy place! Plenty of parking!
