Carlson Orchards

Vertical Divider

Picture
Walter and Eleanor Carlson established Carlson Orchards in 1936, but the orchard grew much more than just apples. In the thirties and forties, the orchard also specialized in potato production, as well as chickens and cows. In the sixties, the farm switched over to focus more on fruit production, like apples, but also blueberries and raspberries. Today, the 100-acre land holds 30,000 bushels of apples, 5,000 baskets of peaches and nectarines, a 50-year old blueberry patch, and even has their own apple cider brand. Walter and Eleanor’s three sons, Bruce, Frank, and Robert, run the orchard currently–ensuring the taste of the farm’s product never diminishes.

    The Carlsons are very involved with the Harvard community: they host local food  trucks at their plot every week for customers to enjoy, including Trolley Dog, Jordan Brothers Seafood, and Souped Up Food; allow community members to snowshoe on the farm in the winter; and even offer full refunds if customers are not completely satisfied. After trying some of their apples, their refund policy makes sense–customers are almost always completely satisfied.
