Early Release October is always a good time to go apple picking. The weather often cooperates, the apples are ready, and there are no crowds to compete with. We had the good fortune of being able to take Steve along this year, which has now become a family tradition that everyone looks forward to.
Honeypot Farm in Stow, MA is delightful. There are a few animals for the kids to view and feed: 3 young pigs, multitude of goats that climb ramps and beg for food, chickens, rabbits to poke through their cage...
There are
hayrides that traverse the orchards, although we have never taken a
ride. It has always been my opinion that part of my purpose of going to the orchard is to get little boys to exhaust themselves, running through the rows of trees
and climbing the larger ones. They don't seem to mind. :)
We picked apples, chose our pumpkins, boys gobbled their carmel/nut encrusted apples made there, and we managed to pick up a half gallon on unpasteurized cider which I am now afraid to drink because I worry about how safe it is.
