Bishop's Orchard Blueberry Picking - Guilford, Connecticut

Took the family to the fall events here one weekend. This is a very family friendly area with many activities geared towards kids. There is an activity are with bounce pads, pedaling bike course, corn maze, corn crib and hay climbing mound. Plenty to keep kids busy for a bit.

Additionally there is apple picking, farm market, food, wine and hard cider cart, pumpkin picking and a nice picnic area to sit in. It was quite busy on the day we went but it's a pretty spacious area that they continue to expand. Also, the large corn maze can take upto 20 minutes to complete. So be aware of that.

Overall a fun time and my only gripe was the price. @ $20 a person I felt was a little high for children and same price for adults that aren't using any of the kids activities. I did not see any pay options to just go in and buy at the marker or pick out pumpkins. In the end it was a fun time and the place is clean and the staff is friendly.

This is the site of the corn maze and the play area. The play area cost $7 for myself and my three year old. The corn maze was an additional $10. There are portable potties onsite and a large barn that sells snacks but it's mostly candy chocolate, and popcorn. We visited on a weekday and it wasn't busy. On the weekends they operate a small train which children can ride for an additional fee. My child had a blast in the play area!

A fun activity to do. As of early October, they only have apple picking. There is six or seven varieties of Apple to pick. The golden delicious apple was one of my favorites..
.
It is $25 for the smallest bag +2 dollars Admission fees . The two dollar admission fee can be used for purchase of any store item.
.
There is also a free tractor ride. There are other children activity you can do for an extra charge.
.
They also have a baked good store within the farmstand and a pumpkin and flower store
.
Overall, it is definitely an activity to do for two hours or so.

My wife and I came up here from NYC last weekend of September. There were tons of apples to pick, the people were very friendly, the corn maze was fun, the cider was delicious. The Raspberry field was a bit sparse and took a while to pick. Overall a fun fall get away from the city.

We had a great time except the profiling from the manager and being followed because she thought I was stealing. My friend was waiting in line inside the store and I was waiting outside in front of the cash register waiting for my son so he could see where I was and when my friend got to the register I was going to push the cart in, so the manager approached me and asked for my receipt I told her the plan and what I was doing and she proceeded to tell me where I needed to go, like I didn’t already tell her what I was doing. Then she followed me around the store. When I got up to the register they asked us if we wanted our receipt. Hmm y don’t we need them. Yes please, since I’m being harassed for one. So I went to get another pumpkin and the same lady who just watched my friend pay asked her for her receipt and began to say well all the items r not on the receipt. Duh that’s my friends order. Then I came back and payed for all my items and was asked if I needed a receipt again, like yes clearly I do. So I got my receipt and went up to the manager and waved it in her face. And she began to follow me out trying to explain to me why. When in fact the entire time she never asked anyone else in that store for their receipt just my friend and I. So I will not be back ever any I will let everyone know they profile and not to go!! I never felt so embarrassed to be harassed this way.

honestly this place is a rip off. they charge extra for every little thing, they don’t even allow kids in to play place with an adult without charging for the adult. i’ve been here for 20 minutes and i’ve spent over $60. they don’t even have real bathrooms and the “sinks” are out of water. the whole place is fenced in and they even charge for admission if you don’t want to pick fruit.

Great market with lots of goodies. Ice cream window has tons of options and the fall pumpkin praline flavor is amazing.

Had an excellent picking experience here this summer! The blueberries were really tasty and I easily picked a 4 quart basket off a few bushes.
