We look forward to apple picking season every year - it's a great way to get the whole family outdoors enjoying the crisp autumn sunshine and delicious local produce. We are spoiled for choice in our local area with so many orchards to choose from, so to help you decide where to go we asked our Realtors to recommend their favorite spots. Some venues offer lots of other activities alongside the picking - petting zoos, corn mazes, playgrounds and tractor rides to name a few. Others are a more traditional orchard, with perhaps a farm store serving fresh apple cider donuts. Whatever your preference, we’ve got something for you - here’s our top 10 Apple Picking Spots north of Boston.
