Tours

 

 

The University of Massachusetts Cold Spring Orchard is a research facility as well as a "working farm." During the fall, the farm crew is harvesting the fruit they cared for all year. During this time we offer informational tours to school groups. All tours are age appropriate and include various aspects of the fruit cycle, harvesting, cider making and marketing. Children will pick a bag of apples to take home.

Tours are given throughout September and October.  Tours will be offered on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday only. Tours are at 9:30 and 11:30. 9:30 tours will require a minimum of 40 students and 11:30 tours require a minimum of 15 students. Tour reservations should be made early; our schedule fills up quickly when the school year begins!
