NEW GLOUCESTER, MAINE – Aug. 30, 2025. Visitors walk through the corn maze during opening day at Royal River Orchards in New Gloucester on Saturday. The 250-acre family-owned farm allows visitors to pick their own apples by the bag instead of by weight, and is open Saturdays and Sundays through mid-October this season.
