A 120-plus-year North Shore farm that explicitly welcomes SNAP/EBT customers and gave a specific opening-weekend date, though that date's year isn't spelled out in the farm's own text, so treat September 5th as likely rather than certain for 2026.
Connors Farm operates at 30 Valley Road in Danvers, in Essex County’s North Shore region, and has run for more than 120 years. The farm is open daily, 8am-6pm, with a phone number of (978) 777-1245. Both u-pick and pre-picked apples are available, cider donuts are confirmed, and the farm pairs picking with a corn maze and hayrides — positioning it as a full fall-outing farm rather than a bare-bones orchard, similar in spirit to Tougas Family Farm or Lookout Farm elsewhere in this Massachusetts research.
The record captures a specific quote from the farm’s own site: “Fall fun officially kicks off at Connors Farm in Danvers on Saturday, September 5th!” That’s a genuinely useful planning anchor, but it comes with an important caveat spelled out in the source note — the page didn’t state the year alongside that date. Because this was read from what appears to be the farm’s live, current-season page, September 5th is treated as a likely 2026 date rather than a confirmed one. Visitors relying on this date should still expect to double-check it, especially if visiting close to that weekend.
One of the more distinctive details in this entire New England research batch is Connors Farm’s explicit statement that it accepts SNAP/EBT payment. Very few orchard websites researched here state this outright, and it’s a meaningful piece of information for budget-conscious families who might otherwise assume a pick-your-own farm only takes cash or card. This is exactly the kind of concrete, checkable detail the record is built to surface rather than a generic assumption about affordability.
Two specific rules stand out: dogs are banned from the fields and orchard under food-safety regulations, though ADA service animals are permitted, and there is no street parking at all — visitors need to use the farm’s own lots. Neither of these is a minor footnote; showing up expecting to park along Valley Road or bring a family dog along for the walk would both run into the same wall, per this record.
No apple variety list appears in the record, so there’s no way to say from this document which apples ripen first at Connors Farm or whether Honeycrisp, McIntosh, or something else leads the season. No PYO pricing structure — per-bag, per-pound, or admission-based — is confirmed either. The 120-plus-year operating history is stated generally rather than with a specific founding year, unlike some other Massachusetts orchards in this batch that name an exact year (1926, for instance, at both Honey Pot Hill and Bashista).
Connors Farm combines over a century of operation with a corn maze, hayrides, and a genuinely rare explicit SNAP/EBT welcome — a real point in its favor for accessibility-minded visitors. The September 5th opening date is a useful target but not a locked-in 2026 confirmation, and the no-street-parking and no-dogs rules are worth planning around before the trip rather than discovering on arrival.
Around the farm's stated opening — 'Fall fun officially kicks off at Connors Farm in Danvers on Saturday, September 5th!' — though the record notes the year wasn't explicitly stated alongside that date, so this is inferred from the page being the current live page rather than a confirmed 2026 date.
No street parking is available, per the record; plan to use on-site lots.
you're planning to park on the street — there's no street parking, so plan for on-site lots — or you're bringing a pet dog without ADA service-animal status, since dogs are banned from the fields and orchard under food-safety rules.
