I don’t know about you, but I'm always excited about fall! Cooler temperatures and warm drinks are just the beginning. Autumn also brings a chance to delight in a new season of food like pumpkins, pomegranates, and apples. Nothing beats a fresh and crisp apple, and they're even better when you can pick them yourself. Ready for a fall adventure? Check this handful of apple orchards in Arizona.
1. Angle Orchard, Mount Graham
Apple picking in Arizona has never been sweeter. This orchard is hidden away on Mount Graham and is a real treat to visit! They have some apples available in the summer and more in the fall for about $0.75 per pound when you pick it yourself. Be sure to check for updated dates and hours on the orchard's Facebook page before you head out.
2. Apple Annie’s Orchard, Willcox
This farm is Arizona’s best known apple orchard.
You'll find hundreds of refreshing apples in nine varieties available between August and October.
3. The Orchard In Cornville, Cornville
If you’re planning to book a stay in the Verde Valley and want to enjoy the feeling of a farm, check out this small bed and breakfast. The orchard produces fruit from June to September so check what they have available before planning to pick some apples or other fruit.
4. Slide Rock State Park, Sedona
Don't overlook this place. Slide Rock State Park is one of the best places for apple picking in Arizona. This state park is located on the site of an old homestead where the house and orchard still stand. You can walk through the orchard when you visit but plan to arrive for the fall festival in mid-October for games and fun in the orchard!
And if you want to enjoy the fruits without the picking, check out Slide Rock Market during harvest time.
Note: Many of these orchards in Arizona, as well as other farms, take cash only for payment so make sure you have cash available before you pay!
