Apple Picking
One of the best aspects of New England is the distinct seasonal change. From the heat of summer comes the cool breeze and chilly weather of fall. Leaves change color, days grow a little bit shorter, and fall activities begin. One of my favorite fall activities is apple and picking. Luckily, there are several great family owned farms near our own family owned “farm” that really bring in the true experience of fall. So round up the family, hop in the car, and spend an afternoon at one of these wonderful places while supporting local family business!
