It’s very important to call the apple or pumpkin picking orchard that you want to go to first to ask them these key questions:

  • when is the best time to go that is predicted to have the smaller crowd
  • what activities do you have there
  • do you have low branches for kids to pick their apples
  • do you have food and drinks there

If you are local to Boston, we went to C.N. Smith Farms located in East Bridgewater, MA.

STEP ONE:

You need to get into the spirit of fall. What I mean is you need to dress the part. Get out your flannel, wear your tall boots with a pair of jeans, and maybe even a panama or fedora hat. You can even just wear a warm colored sweater with some leather pants and a pair or tall boots or booties, so cute too!

STEP TWO:

Get warm apple cider and fresh baked warm apple cider donuts

– there’s just something about the warm cider and donuts that just hits differently at the orchards

STEP THREE:

Pick your apples in the apple orchid

– you can make fun deserts with your kids later with the apples you pick

STEP FOUR:

Ride on a hayride to you pumpkin patch

STEP FIVE:

Pick you pumpkin/s in the pumpkin patch

– use these pumpkins to carve or paint with you kids later

STEP SIX:

Feed the animals at the petting zoo

STEP SEVEN:

Get your face painted – or watch your kids get their faces painted

STEP EIGHT:

Walk though a corn maze

– can also make it into a game by separating into teams and race

STEP NINE:

Take a family photo

STEP TEN:

Walk the farm shop

– support local business by checking out their fresh homemade jams, honeys, pies, etc.

STEP ELEVEN:

Have lots of laughs, watch the excitement on your kids faces, make memories to look back on, and start a tradition your kids can pass on!
