Averill Farm

Averill Farm is a family farm, which has been operated continuously by the Averills since it was purchased in 1746 from the holdings of Chief Waramaug.

For many years it was a dairy farm. Today, the 260-acre property is primarily a fruit orchard, but also produces hay and Christmas trees.

Tyson Averill, of the 10th generation runs the farm with help from his wife Jennifer, father Sam, mother Susan, and several full and part-time employees.

The apples and pears are grown in the 30 acre orchard and are sold both as picked fruit and pick-your-own.

Some 100+ varieties are grown, about 20 of which are available for customers to pick.
