Find more fall fun here.

Every Fall, my children break out their Barbie Sweet Orchard play set and act out our adventures at the apple picking farm. If this isn’t enough of a sign that our kids love going apple picking, then I don’t know what is.

Children of all ages love the different colors of fruit on the trees and the crispy sound an apple makes when you bite into it. There’s the excitement of finding the perfect fruit and enjoying it and dreaming about what will become of all of the apples you pick. Some of the best apple orchards have frozen apple cider slushies that make a warm day feel cool and a cool day feel just right. If it’s chilly out, warm up with hot apple cider or warm, fresh apple donuts. There’s more to the local apple farms than just picking apples, you’ll find entertainment, food and event places to play.
