Apple picking season is once again upon us! Here is my annual list of apple orchards in Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess County. Many of these orchards have other things to do such as hay rides, mazes, petting zoos, and farm stands. It's always wise to call ahead, not only for a list of daily activities but for apple availability. The weather plays a big part in what will or will not be available. I remember last year we saw a few days of early frost and that had a big impact on the apple growing season. These farms rely on the public purchasing their produce in order to survive. If the season is negatively affected due to bad weather it means they will have less to sell. I always try to give a little extra money for whatever I'm purchasing. After all, buying directly from the farm is a great way to ensure you are getting the freshest produce. Enjoy the season and as always, have fun!
I'm going to go apple picking in Maine this year so maybe I'll compile a list for all those adventurous types out there!
