History

Established in 1974.

We are open mid-​August through the end of October. McDougal Orchards is a diversified seventh generation family farm in Southern Maine specializing in the production of high quality apples for sale to pick-​your-​own, farm stand, and local wholesale customers. Located just a mile from downtown Sanford, McDougal Orchard’s scenic location and proximity to the beaches and lakes of York County make it an extremely desirable day-​trip location in the summer and fall. Customers pass through the dooryard of the historic farmhouse on their way to pick apples in the orchards behind the house, or stop to buy ready-​picked fruit in the barn salesroom. Capt. Jack’s usually making fresh cider donuts out in the Shack, as well! There are a few farm animals out back, a picnic area, a fairy village, and a corn maze for kids of all ages to enjoy. Plus, there’s always a family member about to fill you in on the history of the place or how best to prune that old tree in your backyard. Stop by soon.
