What a gem this place is! I came across it while I was traveling to a game and will definitely be going back. It sits atop a hill with gorgeous views. The apples were amazing and the people were so happy.

The views are stunning and the orchard looked great, but I was horrified by the ingredients in their apple cider donuts. They fry them fresh in front of you, but it's about as far from a quality baked good as you can get. They contain partially hydrogenated oil (which the FDA has stated is unsafe for humans), tons of artificial dyes/flavoring, and perhaps most notably... no real apples. As a baker, I would be embarrassed to bake something with ingredients this artificial, and they should be even more embarrassed to sell it.

Nice spot in Concord! Great cider donuts, pies, jellies and ciders. Plenty of parking too.

No fall in New England in complete without an orchard trip, and Carter Hill checks all the boxes! Great farm store with local goods? Check. Plenty of trees with lots of apple variety? Check. Delectable cider donuts? Check. An OBSERVATION TOWER from which you can overlook the orchards and see mountains in the background? An added bonus! When most of the area's attractions in the area close around 4 or 5, this place stays open until 6 in the fall! It was the perfect end to our New Hampshire leaf peeping day trip. And we brought home enough apples and donuts to relive it for a few days afterward!

So many apples to pick from. The cider was good to though we were not a fan of the donuts but they were not bad just not our thing.

Todd Larocque is a racist. There we were, an African American family trying to get service and Todd was blatantly ignoring us and refusing us service, even though we had masks on.

Our favorite PYO fruit orchard. Outstanding fruit quality and selection. I will not share my secrets, but an observant consumer can find bargains and, on occasion, a few of them will be eye-watering. An example of the former: some 'premium' varieties costing less than 'sale' prices in a chain store. And oh, so much better-flavored !!! Friendly, professional staff, play area. What a great family destination !!!

This place has the BEST cider I've ever had in my life. I've been unable to find a cider that even comes close. The apple cider donuts are always fresh and warm. In the fall, I try to stop in weekly and pick up a couple gallons of cider and bag of apple- we go through a couple gallons of cider a week. It's THAT amazing. The family that runs the place is wonderful- they always remember us and have gone above and beyond for me a few times when I was running late and wasn't able to make it to their store before closing. My kids love the large open play area- safe, lots of toys, swings, cars to drive and sandboxes with a gazebo for parents. They have a tower to climb with a beautiful view to look for birds and wildlife. They also have a large selection of pumpkins that are reasonably priced. It's a just a great place to come for half the day and hang out with my kids. A true gem in Concord run by a wonderful family, This place is so unique and special to me. I will be coming her for the rest of my life.

I can see why 4 stars is what everyone gives the place. We came here to pick apples, watch cider being made, and cider donuts. When we drove in, we noticed the beautiful scenery surrounding the business. There are mountains behind the backdrop of the business. When you walk in, the shop has a lot of things in it to look at and buy. Apple cider, pies, different variations of apples already picked etc... the cashier was very nice. But he told us they don't do the Apple cider tours or have samples which I was shocked about. I think they should have samples of apples so you know which to get. We then went walking to the orchids to pick. We picked a couple of apples since were flying tomorrow. We ended up picking honey crips. The cashier stated the snow ones are sweeter. I still found honey crisps to be better. We ended up spending like 40 dollars. I wanted to give this place a 4 for no tours or samples but, it's a small business and the product is good.

This was my first ever orchard experience, and boy did this place deliver! They sure do know how to draw in a tourist like myself, with cutesy Fall and Halloween decorations plus tons and tons of delicious apple-flavored foods. We especially enjoyed the activity of picking your own apples, something I have only ever done inside my local grocery. This was much more fun! The staff here was also great. This was an excellent experience - do yourself a favor and plan a visit!

Delicious, perfect apple cider donuts. The location and features were perfect, however the staff was rather cold. We were nervous to ring out a second time having to interact with the grumpy old men.
