[mommy2serena]

Basically looking for organic pick-your-own, (or even pre-picked, I guess, but prefer to go pick them with the family) doesn't have to be certified or anythig, but basically no chemicles..... anyone know of anything in southern NH?
Thanks!

Hi, I've been looking for the same thing. Not sure where you are in NH, but I found an organic PYO in southern Maine - Raven Hill Orchard in East Waterboro, ME - 32 miles from Dover. I'm going to go this weekend if it doesn't rain.

This site lists all the PYOs by county - the few organic ones have the word organic in green text.

Happy picking!

Apple Annies in Brentwood isn't certified organic, they call themselves "low spray"- I think they use IPM. They have pyo. Here's a link.

Alyson's Orchard in Walpole uses low spray and IPM . . .they claim they are a model in the state and as low as you can get, but to me that is still chemicals . . . (they sell their apples at WF as "naturally grown"). Old Frog Pond in Harvard MA is the only place I know of in a reasonable distance that uses no chemicals at all. I hope others post with more findings!!

Raven Hill is only 20 minutes from my house so if anyone heads up please feel free to come visit!! We went to Apple Acres Farm, www.appleacresfarm.com , in Cornish, ME last weekend and I'm not sure what it's called but they do selective spraying. The state comes in and tells them they have a problem here and there and that's where they spray. Their annual bluegrass festival is this weekend and there's an awesome apple slingshot, tons of fun!!
