The weather is getting crisper, the sweatshirts are coming out and all of a sudden you’re craving apples, pumpkin and butternut squash. If you’re looking for a list of places to pick your apples by hand, here’s where you said, locally, had the best!

Okay, I admit this isn’t the typical time of year to be talking about apple orchards. But, just because there’s snow on the ground instead of colored leaves doesn’t mean my Upstate NY craving for apple has gone into hibernation.

Being New Yorkers, we’re pretty serious about our apples and I’m sad to report that a Capital Region favorite has announced this was their last year.
