About Us:

Ricker Hill Orchards has been growing apples for over eight generations. We are located in Turner, a small town in the foothills of Maine; about an hour's drive from the coast. On the farm we grow everything from crisp red apples and sourly sweet cranberries to North American Ginseng and the occasional pigmy goat. Our family's true passion in life is apples and we have been growing them since 1803. Maines spring and summer enable us to grow a superb fruit, but it is our fall that makes the real difference. We are blessed with warm days to make the apples grow, cool nights to keep them firm and crisp and the occasional frost to give them spectacular color.

We offer many different types of apples, but it is the McIntosh for which we are known. We currently sell McIntosh up and down the East Coast under various labels, or if you live in or are visiting Maine during harvest season you can stop by one of our many fruit stands. If you are interested in learning more about the McIntosh or any of the other varieties of apples, pears, and peaches we grow, check out our Varieties section. If you are unable to visit one of our fruit stands but would like to try a McIntosh or one of our other varieties check out our gift catalogue. The gift catalogue has a wide variety of products we ship year round; including cider, cranberries, maple syrup and of course the four varieties of apples we ship, including McIntosh.

In running our farm we provide over 1,000 acres of uncultivated wildlife habitat, that is undisturbed and hundreds of acres of wetland. Please take time some weekend and visit one of our stands and experience the natural environment around us.
