Where to go apple picking?

We just moved her, but my husband grew up around here an always went apple picking so I'm looking forward to it. 

I could eat apple crisp day and night and use to make jars and jars of applesauce with my grandmother. 

Re: Where to go apple picking?

  • I have a couple of places bookmarked on my home computer; I'll try to post them later. 

    What I wanted to say is that I prefer to pick the Asian Pears now instead of the regular apples!  It's gotten so expensive to go apple picking compared to when I was a kid.  You definitely pay for the experience.

    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • Mack's Apples in Londonderry, NH (about an hour from Boston) - my husband grew up in Londonderry, and he refuses to go anywhere else if I suggest we go apple picking. (Sidenote: I haven't actually made it there for a bunch of reasons, but he swears by it.)
  • Where in MA are you located?

    There are a bunch of orchards in Stow and Bolton off 495 (I linked two for you).

  • I have been the place MrsC98 linked in her post in Stow.  Loved it there, not only apples but other fruits there and they make cider, caramel apples, cider donuts and all sorts of pies

  • I can't remember where I went before so take this with a grain of salt but I have Smolak Farms bookmarked for some reason :)

    This site also seems to list a wide variety of pick-your-own places.

  • I am going to give a shameless plug for our family's friends farm in Stow. Visit Carver Hill Orchards on Rt 62. It is much quieter than Honeypot which IMHO is overpriced and too crowded. My parent's house is 6 doors up from Nashoba Valley Winery in Bolton, we walk down there to wine taste and pick fruit in the fall. We love it.

  • There is also The Big Apple in Wrentham. But I just was looking at their website and I guess they aren't doing pick your own apples this year because of Hurricane Irene - we've actually been there quite a few times and have never picked our own apples. We just like going and hanging out - wandering around their store and just people watching.

  • If you want to head out to Worcester County, Tougas Farms does apple picking as well.
    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

  • I like Apple Crest Farms in Hampton Falls, NH- just over the border.
  • Thank you all for the recommendations. I talked to MIL last night and Apple Crest is where they use to go, but all these look great.

    Right now I could definitely drink some warm apple cider and would love to have an apple pie or crisp baking in the oven - this rain has got to stop! 

  • Now I have a fun activity to do next time I am up in the area.  Thanks girls.  This sounds fun.
