Ahhh - take a deep breath and smell the crisp fresh air of fall. I absolutely love this time of year and all it brings. The crisp cool days, sunny skies, leaves turning, hiking in my favorite spots with the family and of course apple picking time.
We always try to get out to a local orchard every year and do some apple picking. One of our favorites is in New Paltz, NY and it has corn mazes, horse rides, and lots of fun extra things to do. Well, to be honest that place got a little crowded to say the least, so we ventured to other pick your own locations and had just as great of a time. Some of the places we have gone are Dresell Farms, Fishkill Farms, and Hurd's Family Farm.
All of the farms we have visted are excellent, all have acres and acres of farm land with everything imaginable to pick and buy at their farmers markets. I can't wait to buy some apple cider donuts. Always a special treat while we are out picking apples.
So whereever you venture off to to pick your apples make sure it is local and you have fun doing it.
Happy Fall everyone!
Warm regards and love,
Erin
