When I think of fall the first thing that comes to mind is visiting an apple orchard or a pumpkin patch. The sights, aroma, and sounds are so welcoming and what is better than a freshly picked apple or an apple dessert? Here is a list of local orchards, farms, and pumpkin patches. Enjoy all the fun that fall has to offer by taking your family on a fun outing to an apple orchard. Each orchard has their own fun activities such as hayrides, mazes, wagon rides, fall festivals, pumpkin patches, and so much more.
