Note: Because apple picking can be weather-dependent and plant yields can vary, many of these locations recommend that you check in with them before going to pick apples, just in case.
If you aren't interested in picking apples yourself, many of these sites also sell their own pre-picked produce for anyone hoping to buy local fruits or vegetables.
Once you've picked your apples, what do you do with them? Here are some ideas:
- Apple cider
- Apple pie bars
- Mini apple cider muffins
- Fresh apple turnovers
- Apple cider pound cake
- Edible apple turkeys
