What autumn hills heealthcare does

Autumn Hills Orchard is a privately held, family-owned working orchard operating on approximately 90 acres in Groton, Massachusetts, roughly 45 miles northwest of Boston. The business has functioned as a local food source and open space since the mid-1930s and currently grows more than 55 varieties of apples alongside peaches, nectarines, pears, grapes, apricots, plums, pluots, pumpkins, gourds, and seasonal berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries). It sells to consumers almost entirely through direct channels: a pick-your-own (PYO) operation, a seasonal Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) membership program capped at 140 shares at $135 per 8-week fall share, and an on-site retail tent that accepts cash, credit, debit, and SNAP/HIP. Occasional wholesale to other markets and local stores is explicitly described as supplementary, with the farm's stated survival dependent on direct-to-consumer sales. The orchard has planted thousands of new trees over the past five years across modern, heirloom, and cider apple varieties and is currently building a hard cider production facility in the New Barn, signaling a planned move into value-added beverage production. Growing practices rely on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques coordinated with UMass Agricultural Extension, and the orchard donates roughly 80 tons of apples annually to local food banks as part of its community program. Marketing is conducted through the farm's website, email newsletter, and organic social channels on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, with daily operational updates on availability and hours.
