Widely described as New Hampshire's oldest and largest apple orchard, running Harvest Festival weekends through September and October, but exact PYO dates, pricing, and varieties sit on a separate seasonal guide page not captured in this research.
Applecrest Farm Orchards is located at 133 Exeter Road in Hampton Falls, in Rockingham County’s Seacoast region of New Hampshire, with a phone number of 603.926.3721. The farm market is open daily, 8am-6pm. Cider donuts are confirmed, and the farm runs Harvest Festival Weekends through September and October, alongside a bakery and creamery. Both u-pick and pre-picked apples are offered.
Third-party sources widely describe Applecrest as New Hampshire’s oldest and largest apple orchard — a reputation strong enough that it shows up consistently across sources describing the farm, even though this specific research pass didn’t pull a founding-year claim directly from the farm’s own current site. That distinction matters: the “oldest and largest” framing is well-established regional reputation rather than a number this record can independently verify (a founding year, an acreage figure, or a tree count), the way, say, Beardsley’s Cider Mill’s 13,000-tree count or Lyman Orchards’ 30,000-tree figure are specific numbers pulled directly from those farms’ own sites.
Rather than naming a single opening day, Applecrest frames its fall season around “Harvest Festival Weekends” running through September and October — a broader seasonal branding than the single-date announcements seen at farms like Connors Farm or March Farm. That suggests an operation built around recurring weekend events throughout the fall rather than one clearly defined start date, consistent with its position as a larger, more festival-oriented orchard.
The most direct information gap here: the farm’s own site pointed researchers to a separate “Pick-Your-Own Fruit Season Guide” page for current PYO details, but that page wasn’t captured in this research pass. That means exact 2026 PYO opening and closing dates, pricing, and named apple varieties are all unconfirmed in this record — not because the farm doesn’t publish them, but because this particular research pass didn’t reach that specific page. Anyone planning a visit should look up that season-guide page directly rather than relying on this record for exact dates.
Given its described scale and reputation as New Hampshire’s largest, Applecrest is likely to have a longer season and broader variety selection than smaller Seacoast-area operations, similar to how Lyman Orchards’ scale in Connecticut supports a 30-variety list. But without a directly confirmed variety list here, that’s an inference based on reputation and scale rather than a stated fact from this record.
No apple varieties are named, no PYO pricing is confirmed, and no specific PYO opening or closing date is available — only the general “Harvest Festival Weekends” through September and October framing.
Applecrest Farm Orchards carries a strong, widely repeated reputation as New Hampshire’s oldest and largest orchard, with confirmed bakery, creamery, and cider-donut offerings anchoring a September-through-October Harvest Festival season. For the specifics that actually shape a visit — exact PYO dates, pricing, and varieties — check the farm’s own “Pick-Your-Own Fruit Season Guide” page directly or call 603.926.3721, since this record doesn’t capture that level of detail.
