Although it’s summer for another few weeks, I’m starting to see those traces of fall. The nights are getting crisper, and the fall-like temperatures at night have me dreaming of all things autumn. It’s too soon for pumpkin spice everything, but we are just in time for apples!
Apple picking season has arrived in Indiana and unlike the last two years, I’ve heard this crop is outstanding! From August to October, Indianapolis-area families can visit a u-pick orchard and enjoy the experience of picking their own apples from a tree.
Apple picking is just the beginning of the fall fun available in the Indy area, but it is absolutely a highlight for my family!
This weekend may be the last opportunity to see sunflowers in bloom in Central Indiana, so if you haven’t been out to a sunflower farm yet, we suggest the fields at Conner Prairie for an insta-worthy summer photo.
Let’s soak up that last bit of summer and #PlayIndy!
