Reviews for: Russell Orchards

I've been visiting The Goodale apple orchard since I was a child. My grandmother lived on The Both ways farm in Essex and took us every fall to pick apples and buy real old-fashioned penny candy, cider and doughnuts from the barn. I took all my nieces and nephews, my children, and now my grandchildren are old enough. I can't wait. Goodale orchard at Russell farms is the best.

The fall weekend market is exceptionally well organized and easily visited using a walker. The staff was extremely helpful bringing out scones for me from the main building and trundling my purchases (including an oversized pumpkin) to my car. Excellent experience.

Russell Orchards has wonderful cider donuts in the fall. Don't miss them. They also have terrific berries;-) Plenty of parking and a real old time farm feel. Great place to bring your family on the way to or from Crane Beach.
