It's apple picking season! Each of the u-pick apple orchards on our list is a locally-owned family operation designed to provide the best in healthy produce and a great family outing. Apple picking season is typically mid-August through early October, but you’ll want to call farms or check their Facebook status for current hours and information.
Apple Picking Tips:
- Wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
- Bring bottled water and snacks for the kids.
- Wear sunscreen and bug repellant.
- Many of these farms have additional attractions to enjoy. Read about them in advance to plan your day.
