Contact & location
Where Lane Road Orchard is located
You'll find Lane Road Orchard just outside New Sharon, in the farm country of Franklin County County, Maine. The setting is small-town, agricultural, and quiet, the sort of drive that feels like the trip is already part of the experience.
From the middle of New Sharon, expect a short drive on rural roads. Cell service can drop out on the last mile, so download the map before you leave the highway.
Nearby you'll find the kind of scenery Maine 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 New Sharon.

On-Farm Activities
Best Time to Visit
Apple season at Lane Road Orchard tracks the rest of Maine. Most fruit ripens between late August and late October. If you can only make one trip, late September through early October gives you the best odds of finding both early and mid-season apples on the trees at the same time.
Weekend mornings between 9 a.m. and noon are the friendliest arrival window. If you can swing a weekday, Tuesday or Wednesday mornings are the quietest, some visitors report having entire rows to themselves.
