It’s that time of year when playgroups meet at orchards and families look for a good weekend to go apple picking.
So, it’s time to run another post on your favorite places to pick them.
In past years, some of you shared your favorite orchards. (Readers looking for those comments can click here.)
But opinions change. Maybe an an old favorite has gone downhill, while another orchard stepped up its game. Maybe your priorities have changed (like worrying about which one uses less pesticides.)
Or maybe you have new discoveries to share.
So, as Susan started asking three years ago. . .
What are your favorite places to pick apples?
Who has the best deals? The most variety? Who offers good activities for the kids? Which one is the most picturesque? And who has the best cider and donuts?
Share your opinions in the comments.

Hands down…….Tougas Farm in Northborough
George Hill Orchards in Lancaster is my favorite. They allow drops picking during the weekdays for very inexpensive prices. I process the apples mostly to freeze applesauce for the winter. I stay far, far away from agritainment, high-priced orchards.
