TYNGSBORO – A farm in Massachusetts is home to the best apple orchard in all of America, according to Newsweek . Parlee Farms in Tyngsboro was the only apple picking spot to make the list from New England.
The 19-acre orchard outside Lowell was one of several top-notch fall destinations nominated by Newsweek travel editors and then voted on by readers.
“On weekends, you can snag a seat for a hayride, which will take you to the best trees for that time of the season,” Newsweek wrote. “Once your basket is full, head back to the Farmstand and feel your mouth start to water as you watch workers dust the hot apple cider donuts with cinnamon and sugar.”

WBZ-TV was just at Parlee Farms in September to report on the state of the apple crop in Massachusetts. Owner Mark Parlee explained how his crew had to work overtime to protect the fruit from some brutal cold in the spring. Their efforts paid off.
