This is my seventh year going apple picking. What I love about apple picking is it feels so natural and pure. I also love the autumn vibes with the air a bit cooler and the different colors of the leaves starting to change. It just screams, HARVEST! There is just something about harvest time that I do not get in any other season.
Just pulling an apple off the tree and eating it with my family always feels so special. We take pictures pretending to pull apples off the orchard( fake natural LOL), but it is so much fun. It is also nice to see other families all dressed up in their matching flannel and Fall outfits. The vibe is always warm.
I usually go to Wightman Farms in Morristown, New Jersey. If you ever go, definitely try their apple cider donuts and apple cider slushie, I mean I am still currently dreaming of them. There is a little shop that sells baked goods such as pies, cookies, brownies, chocolate, donuts, candy etc: if I had the choice, I’d try everything, but that would not end well for me (LOL).
There is a hay ride that takes you around the farm and to the pumpkin patch. The pumpkin patch is fun to take pictures and everyone gets a free pumpkin. There is also a maze, playground for kids with a sitting area, apple slingshot game, and food stations(try the empanadas and thank me later).
Overall it is just a fun, simple, and calm activity to do with your loved ones. I 10/10 recommend.
Till next time!! Thanks for reading. ❤
