Grape U-Pick Orchards in Southeastern New Hampshire in 2024, by county

Below are the U-Pick orchards and farms for grapes that we know of in this area.

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page.
