Our take

The short version

Riverview Farm is a substantial operation in Plainfield, Sullivan County, New Hampshire’s Upper Valley — 44 acres and more than 1,600 trees, with one of the longer named-variety lists in this entire research batch. The farm’s own site organizes its 14 named apples by ripening window, which is a genuinely useful planning tool if you’re trying to time a visit around a specific variety.

Fourteen varieties, sequenced by ripening time

Rather than listing apples alphabetically or by category, Riverview’s own pages sequence them by when they ripen: Paulared and Zestar lead off in August, followed through the season by Ginger Gold, McIntosh, Cortland, Honeycrisp, Macoun, Snow Sweet, Empire, Gala, Hampshire, September Wonder, and Crimson Crisp, with Northern Spy among the last ready in October. That structure makes this one of the more genuinely useful records in this batch for planning a visit around a particular apple — you can reasonably estimate whether an early-August or a mid-October trip lines up with the variety you want. Third-party sources put the total PYO variety count slightly higher, at 16, suggesting there may be a couple more beyond what the orchard’s own pages named specifically.

A clear, if limited, weekly schedule

The farm is closed Monday and Tuesday, open Wednesday through Sunday, 10am to 5:30pm, across an August-through-October season. That’s a firm, confirmed schedule directly from the orchard’s own site — one of the more reliably sourced hours listings in this batch, even without a specific 2026 season-open date attached.

Unpasteurized cider, pressed twice a week

Beyond apples, Riverview presses its own unpasteurized cider twice weekly, per third-party sources. That’s a specific, checkable detail for cider fans — twice-weekly pressing suggests a genuinely fresh, small-batch product rather than a single seasonal batch sold down over months.

More than apples: pumpkins, berries, a corn maze, flowers

The activities list rounds out a fuller agritourism visit: pumpkin picking, berry picking, a corn maze, and flower picking are all part of the property, alongside the orchard itself. That range suggests Riverview works well as a half-day or longer stop rather than a narrow apple-only errand.

What’s not confirmed: pricing and payment

No PYO pricing was found on the pages fetched, and there’s no indication of what payment methods are accepted. Given the absence of any posted pricing or payment information, bringing cash or a check — and checking ahead on payment options — is the safer default here.

Getting there

The address is 141 River Road, Plainfield, NH 03781. The listed coordinates are a Plainfield, NH city-center fallback rather than a geocode of the River Road address, so treat the map pin as approximate.

Bottom line

Riverview Farm’s ripening-window variety list is one of the more genuinely planning-friendly details in this research batch, backed by a clear Wednesday-through-Sunday schedule and confirmed twice-weekly unpasteurized cider pressing. The one real gap is pricing — call 603-298-8519 or check ahead on payment options before you go.

Planning your visit

Skip it if

You're hoping to pay by card without confirming first — no pricing or payment method is posted, so bring cash or check as a safe default.
