Local growers are soon welcoming customers to pick fresh, juicy apples. Massachusetts is home to hundreds of orchards you can visit directly, and it’s fun for the whole family.
For an autumn experience with Asian pears, pumpkins and apples, try Belkin Family Lookout Farm. There’s a hay pyramid, play area, moon bounce, face painting, farm animals, train rides and more. Over 21? Check out the taproom.
For treats, consider Brooksby Farm, which has cider doughnuts, fudge, seasonal pies and baked goods.
And for real variety, Boston Hill Farm is the top pick, with ice cream, sheep and bunnies to boot!
