This had everything I loved. PYO fruit (it was peach season for us), small market with produce, gifts, and treats. Their chocolate chip cookies are TO DIE FOR. They were still warm when we bought them. The farm animals are a bonus for sure. We had left without getting their ice cream so we circled back- glad we did because it was incredible. I mean we live in Texas so we are deprived of amazing soft serve….and the dip was a fun surprise. The kids’ minds were blown. Lol.

A family favorite for many years! I've been bringing my kids here since they were little and we still go to this day (even though 2 of them are college students). Rose's offers a unique custard style ice cream and a relaxing atmosphere with plenty of seating.

Great place to go with kids. They have pinic tables. You can relax and they can feed the animals for a quarter. Very friendly farm animals. The ice cream is delcious. They have blue dip!!! Also, butterscotch.

What an awesome place to visit. I heard about it so we decided to visit it. Located minutes away of I95 exit 55. Family friendly and something for everyone. There's an ice cream shop, an eatery, and a convenience store. Plus multiple activities and animals outside.

Great place to spend a fall day. Great food, apple picking, goats, a corn maze, and delicious ice cream! My toddler loved visiting especially because it's not too big. Excellent place to bring the kids!

Great spot for a quick sandwich especially when going to or coming from the winery next door. They have a cute little animal farm there too

Unfortunately not very organized for kids field trip today. Went with about 50 other children in just our group, plus at least 4 other busloads of other kids/parents/chaperones. We arrived and went on the hay ride .. Very cute. Then picked apples, but they only allow you to go within 2 lines of trees.. 3 apples per kid, perfect for the age group. Where things quickly fell apart was Ice cream time. They simply didn't have enough staff working to manage all of the groups of kids and parents etc.... There was a small inside area to order food. We ordered 2 sandwiches but didn't get them for almost a half HR after bring asked 3x what we ordered... Ice cream made its way outside only after the leader from the school had to ask the staff and then she was told " well we have some long lines here"..... It took about 20 minutes to get the ice cream. After, other people from other parties filed in to order from the grill, only to be told afterwards "idk why she let you order"... Their busses arrived so they could leave, and all of them had to get their money refunded and were given cash back from the register. Overall the actual place is beautiful, but disorganized with larger parties of people. They just needed maybe 2 more people to work today to manage the crowds. Heard one of the employees say this was the rain date for most of the groups there today (, including us,)... But they should have allowed different dates for rain dates if they weren't able to fully staff it to run it. The place is cute and the kids loved it, just got really antsy when the ice cream took a while to show up.

This place is a lot of fun! Despite almost always being busy- you rarely have to wait very long for anything. They also have delicious ice cream (custard) and frozen yogurt! Also have corn maze, hay maze, little store and very adorable animals (goats, pig, chicken, etc)! Great place to spend a few hours on a fall day!

in the North Branford Countryside, Rose Orchards is the sort of rural business that does a bit of everything.On hot summer afternoons you’ll be enticed by its frozen custard, and the almost limitless choice of sundaes, milkshakes, some mixing fresh fruit grown on the farm.The PYO fruit season at Rose Orchards lasts from the end of June to the end of October, beginning with strawberries and ending with pumpkins, via blueberries, peaches, raspberries and lots of different apple varieties.All of this produce is on sale at the farm stand, as well as cheeses, Connecticut maple syrup, pickles, preserves, fresh dairy products and pies in 14 different flavours.And if you come with an appetite, Buck’s Grill serves up burgers, wraps, sandwiches, hot dogs and salads, as well as a tasty breakfast menu.

Great place to get ice cream. They have a wide range of treats. I got a vanilla ice cream with chocolate dip. Their farm is also really cute. Adorable bunnies, dogs, and a goose. Great service, great feel.

Outside activities were lovely, especially for children. The store was minimally stocked & that was disappointing. I was expecting something akin to Lyman or Bishops, but it fell short. I will go back for some ice cream, though! 😀

I went for the hayride, and the actor from last year is no longer at the Orchard - which I found out afterward, when I saw that the actor was replaced by cheap mannequins here and there. The ticket was still the same price as last year, though I definitely did not get the same value for the price. There's also no signage or directions with pedestrians throughout, so driving in and out was also dangerous. It was beautiful but I don't see myself coming back.

Unfortunately they change the ice cream 🍦 and has not been that good like few years back. Still good for kids, great photos and pick some 🍎 fruits.

Great for the family to have a quick bite or just a incredible spot for ice cream. Then the kids can feed the animals, go through the corn maze, or pick whatever fruits are in season. They also have a shop where u can purchase all fresh fruits and great fresh products

Its was so fun but the picking is closed for the season probaly from corona. The Ice Cream is still amazing and the animals are still there. The corn maze is only open on weekends. The corn maze cost 5$ for 1 Person but if your 3yr old or younger its free.

Quick access from I95. Plenty of seats or benches for people to enjoy a soft and creamy ice cream. With your selection of fruits and toppings. Limited selection of items in their Farmer's Market. Great service!

Best Ice creams are always in farms! Just dropped by here to get some ice cream after going to the Lavender Pond Farm

Disappointed in Rose Orchards this year. Staff at corn maze area is unwelcoming/rude. Went there to enjoy the maze, ice cream, and animals and left promptly after we were treated to this person's "hospitality."

Beautiful place. Animals to feed and look at with the kids, amazing ice cream, pie, sundaes etc. and a farm market. Definitely take a date on your way to or from somewhere, or take the kids.

Great little family-owned orchard. They have everything from apple-picking, a corn maze, a hay maze, a pumpkin patch, hay rides, animals, a farm market, food, and frozen custard. It's easy to get in and out with ample parking. They are also adding a vineyard to the adjacent farm now. Family-friendly orchard that will keep the kiddos and adults happy!

I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy products here, yesterday I had the most unprofessional thing happen after waiting ten minutes to place an order for a milkshake the window attendant told me she's going to wait on another customer, I'd boycott your store if I could... you definitely lost a customer when you did that.P.S. you don't deserve a single star but I had to in order to submit my review, your store SUCKS.

Sad because their pies are absolutely delicious, but I started to read the ingredients and was highly disappointed. High fructose corny syrup, vegetable oil, palm oil, soybean oil etc. Probably won't purchase again due to how terrible ingredients are, you'd think an orchard would try and use natural ingredients.

Great place for Apple picking, especially for school trips for kids and teenagers 14 years old and under. Definitely bring a extra bag, you'll need it.They have a small restaurant, different menu option from hot dog, BLT, etc and drinks also. A small store next door, you can buy Apple pie and other things, including clothes. Not much, but worth checking out.
