Newport, ME 04953
Where Rowe Orchards is located
You'll find Rowe Orchards just outside Newport, in the farm country of Penobscot 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 Newport center, 39 Palmer 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 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 Newport.

On-Farm Activities
Best Time to Visit
Apple season at Rowe Orchards 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.
