Harvest Seasons

Surowiec Farm is located in the rural town of Sanbornton. The farm has been in the Surowiec family since 1917. Originally operated as a dairy farm, the first apple trees were planted in 1971. The farm has continued to expand and diversify ever since.

A spectacular view to the north and west provides an expansive backdrop to the orchard and farmstand. Be sure to bring your camera for a family photo against the brilliant scenery.

Since the farm is open to the public, we ask that pets be left at home due to safety and human health concerns.

School field trips and scenic bus tours are welcome by appointment. Call 286-4069 to make an appointment.

We guarantee that you cannot eat just one. Containers are provided at no additional cost.
