Russell Orchards - Ipswich MA

A wonderful and picturesque farm to visit, no matter the season! It's clean, the cider donuts and pumpkin varieties are the best. There's quite a selection of unique items for sale in the store. The animals are the absolute cutest and so friendly - Daisy and Gingergold are my favorites!

A Must-Visit New England Gem! Russell Orchards is an absolute delight and the perfect countryside escape for both couples and families alike! From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by that warm, rustic charm that makes fall in New England so special. There’s truly something for everyone — from apple picking in their beautiful orchards to scenic hayrides that wind through the farm, and a fun petting zoo that kids absolutely love. The pumpkin patch is picture-perfect and makes for great seasonal photos. The country store is a destination in itself — filled with homemade treats, farm-fresh produce, delicious baked goods, and the most heavenly fresh cider donuts you’ll ever taste. Don’t miss their cakes and jams, all made with love and local ingredients. And for adults, the wine tasting bar is a wonderful surprise! Their Apple Ice Wine is a standout — sweet, crisp, and unlike anything else. Whether you’re visiting for a romantic afternoon, a family adventure, or just to enjoy some fresh air and great food, Russell Orchards captures the best of farm life and fall fun all in one place. Highly recommended!

Ambiance: Market-style store selling a variety of their own goods. There's fresh apples, baked items, fruit wine, and ice cream. Activities: Wine flights, a small pumpkin patch, and of course the apple fields where you can pick your own. Apple Donuts: Incredible! Fun to watch them made fresh, though I wish they came out warm. The sugar and cinnamon is in the inside rather than outside! Strong cinnamon flavor, not overly sweet. Apple Roll-Up: Warm and delicious, just like an apple pie in roll-up form with fresh apples and cinnamon. Apple Cider: The best! Fresh, slightly tart, mostly sweet, and so refreshing. Pure apple flavor.

We stopped by to pick berries. The farm has many animals and is open to visitors. There is a local shop and a tasting room where you can try local drinks. Berry picking was fun. Afterwards we visited the animals and sampled the local drinks along with an apple cider donut. The donut was tasty but the drinks were not to our taste. The pesto sauce sold in the store was delicious and a bit expensive. I also recommend using insect repellent

Russell’s is a must-visit for everything Fall! From pumping out delicious, fresh apple cider donuts to apple picking and farm animals, to a bustling farm store with everything and more, it has something for everyone! They also have an extensive wine section and tastings, and their baked goods looked amazing too, definitely can get crowded but it’s popular for very good reason!
