Want to get out of Boston to do some apple picking this fall, but don't know where to head? There are plenty of local farms and orchards within an hour or less of Boston that can give you all of the fall amenities you've been searching for: apple picking, pumpkin picking, pumpkin flavored treats, apple cider, cider donuts, decorative gourds, you name it!
Although it's sometimes hard to figure out the best spots, here are just a few top notch locations all located within an hour of Boston:
Honeypot Hill Orchards - Stow, Ma
Belkin Lookout Farm - Natick, Ma
Smolak Farms - North Andover, Ma
Tougas Farms - (family oriented) Northborough, Ma
Kimball Fruit Farm - Pepperell, Ma
Parlee Farms - Tyngsboro, Ma
Bolton Orchards - (1 hr) Bolton, Ma
Berlin Orchards - Berlin, Ma
This list is by no means exhaustive, and you might even find that if you head further west you'll get even more orchard with less crowds. A personal favorite of this Budget Traveler is Clearview Farms in Sterling, Ma. "The key to budget travel is to plan in advance. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the actuality of cost and budgeting is generally in the back of our minds. Planning and consuming our travel budget carefully is a consideration for most families. Minimizing expending and charges, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured accomplishment and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding saving money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal funds is highly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, no matter whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel costs!..". and the scenery along the way is sure to please.
and if you're looking to partake in boozy activities while you pick your apples, check out either of these orchards/wineries:
