About the Corporation

Family-owned and operated since 1741

What began in 1741 as a 36 acre farmstead has evolved into a diverse and thriving business, one of the most popular family and recreational destinations in Connecticut and beyond. Now in its 8th generation of ownership, Lyman Orchards remains a family-owned and operated business, existing on 1,100 acres in picturesque Middlefield, CT. To the Lyman family and our employees, we remain committed to preserving the land and heritage for future generations.
