One of the longest PYO seasons in Connecticut, open seven days a week June through December across a remarkably wide crop list — but no phone number or street address could be confirmed, only an email contact.
Belltown Hill Orchards operates in Glastonbury, in Hartford County, and runs one of the longest and widest PYO operations documented in this entire New England research project. The market runs seven days a week from June through December, and the crop list spans apples, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, grapes, kiwiberries, pears, peaches, raspberries, rhubarb, plums, strawberries, sweet corn, tomatoes, pumpkins, squash, and Christmas trees. PYO hours differ by day type: 9am-4pm Monday through Friday, and 8am-4pm on weekends.
Most orchards in this research either don’t mention weather-related unpredictability or bury it in general language. Belltown Hill states plainly that “pick your own is NOT GUARANTEED DAILY” and that hours shift with crop and weather conditions. That directness is worth taking at face value — it suggests a farm that would rather set a visitor’s expectations honestly than imply a fixed, guaranteed picking experience every day of the long June-to-December season.
The presence of kiwiberries alongside a more conventional New England fruit lineup, and Christmas trees at the far end of the season, makes Belltown Hill’s crop list one of the most diverse in this research. That range suggests a farm built to keep customers coming back across many months rather than concentrating everything into a single fall apple rush, similar in spirit to Smolak Farms’ long PYO calendar in Massachusetts but with an even broader crop variety.
Notably, no phone number or street address turned up on the official site during this research — only an email address, belltownorchards@snet.net. That’s unusual among the orchards in this batch, most of which at minimum list a phone number even when other details (hours, pricing, varieties) are missing. A visitor wanting to confirm current picking status by phone, the way this record recommends for many other orchards, doesn’t have that option here based on what was found; email or an in-person visit to confirm location may be the more practical path.
A third-party aggregator claims Belltown Hill offers 24 PYO apple varieties, which would put it among the higher-variety orchards in this research if accurate. But this figure comes from a source outside the farm’s own site and hasn’t been independently confirmed here, so it should be treated as an unverified estimate rather than a confirmed fact — worth mentioning to a visitor with the appropriate caveat rather than stating as settled.
Beyond the missing phone number and address, the record has no specific apple variety list confirmed directly by the farm, no PYO pricing, and no apple-specific season-start or season-end date — the June-December window applies to the market generally, not to apple picking specifically.
Belltown Hill Orchards stands out for the sheer length and diversity of its PYO season, spanning far more crops than almost any other orchard in this research, paired with an admirably honest disclaimer about day-to-day unpredictability. The tradeoff is a thinner-than-usual contact trail — no confirmed phone number or address — so verifying location and current picking status before visiting will likely mean starting with an email to belltownorchards@snet.net or checking a mapping service directly.
Not narrowed down for apples specifically in the record, though the farm's June-through-December market season is among the longest confirmed in this research, giving wide flexibility for a fall visit.
you need a phone number to call ahead — none was found in the record, only an email address.
An unusually wide list: apples, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, grapes, kiwiberries, pears, peaches, raspberries, rhubarb, plums, strawberries, sweet corn, tomatoes, pumpkins, squash, and Christmas trees, per the record.
Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm; Saturday-Sunday, 8am-4pm, per the record.
No — the farm is explicit that 'pick your own is NOT GUARANTEED DAILY' and hours shift with crop and weather conditions, a more direct disclaimer than most orchards post.
No phone number or street address was found on the official site during research — only an email, belltownorchards@snet.net.
A third-party aggregator separately claims 24 PYO apple varieties, but this was not independently confirmed in the record and should be treated as unverified.

Yes — it's a pick-your-own orchard, with pre-picked apples at the farm stand too.
We track 3 orchards in Hartford County, 3 of which let you pick your own apples. The orchard has not published a starting price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
One caveat worth repeating: this orchard had not published its 2026 dates when we last checked, while 0 of the 3 orchards we track in Hartford County had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as last year's until the orchard confirms it.
