About the Farm

Background

Blue Jay Orchards, established by Robert S. Josephy in 1935, spans over 122 acres in Bethel, CT, and has been a cherished part of the community for over seventy years. Known for its 8,000 producing trees and more than 20 apple varieties, the orchard has become a seasonal tradition for families in New England.

Practices

The orchard emphasizes the importance of tree-ripened fruit, ensuring that apples and pumpkins are harvested at their peak. The farm encourages visitors to engage with the land through 'Pick Your Own' activities, fostering a deeper connection between people and their food sources.

The Rest

Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities including a seasonal pumpkin patch, homemade baked goods from the farm's bakery, and a farm market offering apples, cider, pies, and donuts. The orchard has specific rules for visiting, including a no-pets policy, except for certified service animals.
