Where is the best place to pick apples?

It’s time to indulge in the quintessential fall activity: apple picking.

Walking through rows of fresh apples while surrounded by changing leaves as far as the eye can see, and finishing off your day with apple cider and cider doughnuts to refuel – and maybe even a hayride after to give your legs a break from all of that walking.
