The fall season is creeping in and here in New England this means the days are getting shorter. The weather is starting to change, the leaves are changing color, football season is starting. But a classic New England fall weekend is heading to an apple orchard to pick some apples! Of course, when you go to an apple orchard you have to pick up some apple cider and donuts, but the apple picking is the real reason you went to the orchard!
Apple picking has a unique way of bringing people together. Families and friends often make it an annual tradition. It’s a wonderful and time-honored activity that the beauty and charm of autumn. You also end up picking way too many apples and feel the need to make some sort of baked apple dessert. That normally ends with a subpar product that just sits on the counter, but the house does smell fantastic.
Let’s be honest there’s no better taste than freshly picked apples right from the tree, the burst of sweetness and crisp texture make each bite a rewarding and memorable moment. Whether you’re enjoying the classic flavors of Red Delicious, the tartness of a Granny Smith , or the sweet and dryness of a Honeycrisp, there’s a flavor for everyone! One of the wonders of apple picking is the beauty of the orchard. Rows of apple trees, heavy with ripe fruit, that create the fall social media cover photo or Instagram real for everyone to enjoy, don’t lie you know you want to take that awesome photo of you hanging in the apple tree!
So, let’s focus on the North Shore for right now and give you some great spots to pick some apples and get ready for Autumn which is right on our doorstep, just like the pumpkins and scarecrows.
