Stuart’s Farm in Granite Springs is another good choice for family apple-picking outings. They have smaller trees so the kids can pick the apples themselves, or you can take a hayride around the orchard, pick a few pumpkins or have a picnic. If there’s any corn left in their store, be sure to get some.

Apple Picking starts from 10 AM to 5PM from September to November. With nine different varieties of apples to pick from it is a real family treat.

• September- there are Macintosh, Cortlands, Macouns.
• October- Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Empire, Mutsu, Jonagold, Ida Red, Northern Spy, Black twig, Baldwins, Stuart’s Surprise
