Spiller Farm

Our take

What the record actually confirms

Spiller Farm sits at 85 Spiller Farm Lane in Wells, in York County on the southern Maine coast, with a listed phone number of (207) 985-2575. The farm store is open daily from 7am to 6pm, but U-Pick specifically runs a narrower window — weekdays 1pm to 5pm, weekends 10am to 5pm — and the record notes days open are “weather and crop dependent.” Confirmed apple varieties are Honeycrisp, McIntosh, Cortland, Macoun, Paulared, and Empire. Beyond apples, the farm runs u-pick vegetables and offers farm tours with farm animals.

A vegetable farm that also does apples

What sets Spiller Farm apart from most orchards in this research isn’t its apple list — it’s that apples are one part of a larger u-pick vegetable operation. The tags call out “U-Pick Vegetables” specifically, and the record confirms this isn’t a token side offering but a genuine dual-crop farm. For a visitor planning a single farm trip that covers both fruit and produce, that’s a real practical advantage over single-crop apple orchards elsewhere in York County, like McDougal Orchards in Springvale, which focuses more narrowly on tree fruit and a corn maze.

Honeycrisp headlines a mid-season lineup

Of the six confirmed varieties, Honeycrisp gets top billing in the tags and is likely the variety the farm promotes hardest to visitors. The rest of the list — McIntosh, Cortland, Macoun, Paulared, Empire — reads as a fairly standard mid-season New England mix rather than an early- or late-season specialty lineup. Compared to a farm like McDougal Orchards nearby, which grows Summermac, Zestar, and Gingergold and leans early-season, Spiller Farm’s list suggests a picking window that peaks a bit later, once McIntosh and Cortland are ready.

Maine Apple Weekend is the one calendar anchor

The research notes flag that Spiller Farm participates in the statewide Maine Apple Weekend, set for September 12-13. That’s the single most concrete calendar marker in this record, since no explicit 2026 season-start or season-end date was found on the farm’s own site. A visitor who wants a guaranteed-active weekend, with the orchard geared up for visitors, has good reason to target that date over a guess at “sometime in September.”

The U-Pick hours are narrower than the farm store’s

One detail worth flagging directly: the farm store’s daily 7am-6pm hours are considerably longer than the U-Pick hours themselves. A visitor arriving at, say, 9am on a weekday expecting to head into the orchard could find the store open but picking not yet available until 1pm. Weekend visitors have it a little easier, with U-Pick opening at 10am, closer to the store’s own start time. This split schedule isn’t unusual for u-pick operations juggling staffing, but it’s the kind of detail that’s easy to miss on a quick site visit and worth checking again closer to a planned trip.

What’s still missing

No apple price, whether per pound or per bag, is confirmed anywhere in the record. Season start and end dates also aren’t confirmed — the farm doesn’t appear to publish a specific 2026 calendar window, likely because, as the days-open field notes, timing is “weather and crop dependent.” Anyone planning a trip more than a week or two out should expect to call ahead or check the farm’s own channels closer to the date.

Bottom line

Spiller Farm offers a genuinely broader stop than a typical apple-only orchard, pairing a solid six-variety apple list headlined by Honeycrisp with a substantial u-pick vegetable program and farm animal tours. The record doesn’t give a firm season window or price, so the safest anchor point for a visit is Maine Apple Weekend on September 12-13 — otherwise, a call to (207) 985-2575 ahead of time is the reasonable move, especially given the narrower U-Pick hours compared to the farm store’s.
