Now’s the Time for Apple Picking

By Lucy Bennett

Looking for something fun to do with the family this weekend? How about apple picking?

Many farms around the area offer the opportunity to pick your own apples. Check with the farm to find out which apples are in season when you want to go.

Don’t know the difference between a gala, stayman and a honeycrsip? Check this chart from pickyourown.com to find out which apples are best for eating, cooking, making sauce and other things.

Here are some pick-your-own orchards we found around the area. (Did we miss one? Please add it to the comments at the end of this article.)
