Come to the orchard for a learning experience they will never forget! This spring you can adopt your very own apple, peach or pear tree, name it and watch it grow all season long. During each visit to the orchard you can learn about flower buds, tree pollination and how to properly handle fruit. Best of all, it's a free day of fresh air and farm experience! Families can also enjoy pony rides, petting zoo, picnic by the pond and tours of the orchard.

Directions:
Horse Listeners Orchard is at 317 Bebbington Road, Ashford. Located just 1.5 miles from the junctions of Rt. 44 and Rt. 89 in Ashford, Connecticut. Follow the signs at this intersection, turning onto Slade Road which ends at Bebbington Road.
