Get ready to fall in love with fall all over again! September is here and along with it comes the season of vibrant foliage and pumpkin-spiced everything. There’s no better way to embrace autumn than by heading out to the orchards for some good old-fashioned apple picking.
Boston may be famous for its history, but when it comes to apple-picking adventures, this city knows how to deliver! Here are a few favorite apple-picking spots – all less than an hour from the city!
Belkin Family Lookout is a local favorite! (and the closest to the city!). Visit and pick pears, apples, and pumpkins to your heart’s content. During the week, enjoy a hay pyramid, farm-themed play area, moon bounce, and more. Visiting on the weekend? Check out face paintings, farm animals, and train rides! If you’re looking for some 21+ fun, stop in their taproom.
What goes better with apple picking and pumpkin browsing than fresh Apple Cider and homemade cider donuts? Brooksby has it all! Stop by for barnyard animals, their Fall Fairytale Trail, fall hayrides, and weekend campfires and smores all fall long.
Wanting a fun weekend activity? Connors Farm offers a corn maze, hayrides, pumpkin tetherball, and more! They always go above and beyond with their corn mazes. This year’s theme is “The Unexplained”, so the course is shaped into many different mythical creatures.
If you are looking for many different varieties of apples, look no further than Smolak! With 20 different types to pick from, this is one of the most varied orchards in the Boston area. Combined with hayrides, activities, animals, and more, Smolak Farms is a great pick for your fall weekend!
