With views of more than seven New Hampshire mountains, Carter Hill Orchard is a great destination during apple season and any time of the year. Some extra-season actiivities are listed below.

"(One of my favorite Concord settings is) the magnificent view of Mount Kearsarge and the White Mountains from Carter Hill Apple Orchard. If you are lucky enough to be there when the sun is setting, and watch it cast blues, purples, pinks and shades of orange throughout the valleys and mountains, it is breathtaking." Elaine Plummer, to the Concord Monitor, May 13, 2007

Leaf Peeping (fal)

In Autumn, come by the orchard for some hot cider and cool leaf peeping. Our observation tower is open to the public and allows a fantastic view of seven mapped mountains and 360-degrees of leaf peeping!

Cross Country Skiing (winter)

The Capital Ski and Outing Club rents cross-country skis and maintains trails at the orchard from December through March. They operate out of the orchard's barn seven days a week. For more information, contact Bill Mitchell at (603) 228-8493. Recommended by the Concord Insider for moose and deer spotting.

While we invite snowshoeing at the orchard, we ask that showshoers leave the ski trails for the skiiers. But feel free to make your own tracks!

Apple Blossoms (spring)

In May, the apple trees burst with apple blossoms. Stop by and see the orchard alit with little white and pink flowers, and listen while bees busily buzz from tree to tree. Once pollinated, each flower will become an apple. Take pictures and leave footprings. But because these are our future apples, the cutting or taking of branches is strictly prohibited.
