It’s fall and those cozy vibes are in the air. That means cozy shirts, fall foliage and preparations for the weather to get pretty chilly soon. Despite the fact that cold weather will be here in the next few months, we’re excited about this season mostly for one great reason. Orchards across the state are offering lots of picking experiences, apple cider, and delicious donuts. Here are some of our favorites.
If you're not sure what kind of apples you like best, this is the place for you. They have so many varieties, you'll be able to get a good taste of everything. You can pick your own or just pop into the farmstand to bring them home. And they have lots of tasty baked goods, too. In the winter check out their cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails.
