Pumpkin Harvest Time Is for Everyone

A Guide to Pick-Your-Own Pumpkins Farms,
Apples Orchards & Fall Harvest Foods

 


How to pick a pumpkin 

 

For city folks and suburban families picking your own apples and pumpkins - along with fall foliage tours - is a rite of Autumn that everyone looks forward to.

While some schools get the whole class out in the fields, most kids get to go apple picking or pumpkin picking with the whole family. It's a healthy day out in the fresh air and a great picture taking opportunity.

Most of all, it's the thrill of getting close to the land and bringing home fruit and vegetables that you actually picked!

Most farms that provide pumpkin patches for city dwellers to wander in also have hot chocolate and plenty of cider and fresh fruits to snack on.

You may find a few that offer hay rides or other entertainment for before and after you go to choose your pumpkins.

Apple orchards that let guests harvest the fruit usually have cider, hot and cold, made from the very same apples that you get to bring home. Most also have delicious home baked apple pies to take home after a hard day of apple picking!
