BELKIN FAMILY LOOKOUT FARM ANNOUNCES PICK-YOUR-OWN PEACH AND EARLY APPLE SEASON

Daily Hours at the Farm Starting August 1st

Belkin Family Lookout Farm, Metrowest’s beloved destination for outdoor family fun, is excited to report that peaches and early apples are ripe and ready for picking, with plums, pears and nectarines not far behind. To celebrate, the farm will be open from 10:00am to 5:00pm every day starting August 1st, giving families and guests access to more than 50 types of peach trees to pick their own fruit.

In addition, the farm offers live entertainment for the whole family. Kids can spend time in the play area, enjoy the treasured train and caterpillar rides, farm animals, farm maze, hay pyramid and check out the Busy Bee Learning Center or the Lego tables. On weekends and Monday holidays, families can also enjoy live children’s entertainment (shows at 12:00pm, 1:00pm and 2:00 pm) and face painting.

Located steps from the orchards is the newly launched Lookout Farm Hard Cider Company, featuring The Lookout Taproom, where guests can leisurely enjoy and purchase cider. The classic Farmhouse Blend cider is available on draft and to go in a four-pack of 12 oz. bottles. In addition the taproom offers a selection of limited release ciders on draft; in August, one cider will be infused with peaches from the farm giving guests an opportunity to imbibe close to the source. Locally sourced summer snacks such as a variety of flatbreads, New England charcuterie and cheeses and fresh peach sorbet pair perfectly with the crisp cider offerings.
