Where High Hill Orchard is located

You'll find High Hill Orchard just outside Meriden, in the farm country of South Central Connecticut Planning Region County, Connecticut. The setting is small-town, agricultural, and quiet, the sort of drive that feels like the trip is already part of the experience.

From Meriden center, 170 Fleming Road is a short drive on county roads. Weekend traffic can back up near the entrance on peak fall Saturdays, arriving before 11 a.m. usually skips the wait.

Nearby you'll find the kind of scenery Connecticut does well in October, farm stands, rural churches, and roads lined with maples turning red. It's a solid half-day out even without leaving Meriden.
