The beginning of September holds the final warm days of summer and the cool days that come and make the air smell crisp and leafy. You can hear the crunch of foliage under your feet and see vibrant colors you wish you could see every day of the year! Fall is a favorite season of ours and it comes with so many wonderful perks! One of the best of those has to be apple picking and the Lakes Region has plenty of great places to go! Read today’s blog posting all about apple picking in the Lakes Region. Move over pumpkin spice! We want apple crisp!
The Contenders
The first apple picking space we want to mention is Cardigan Mountain Orchard in Alexandria. I have been there twice with family and friends for apple picking and shopping at their small, indoor market. I got some of the best apple kielbasa there a few years ago! They have lots of rows of different kinds of apples and their whole picking space looks great from the road as you drive up because you go through the country store to pay for your bushels. I wasn’t able to find a date for when their apple picking starts exactly but their country store and cafe are open Tuesday to Sunday from 8-5. Check their Facebook page for updates!
The other apple picking space in the Lakes Region is called Smith Orchard in Belmont. They’ve been around since 1985 with Macintosh, Red Delicious, Cortland, Yellow Delicious, Jona Gold, Ginger Gold, and MacGown. Besides the apples, they also sell homemade lotions with all natural ingredients! The farm holds weddings, birthday parties, and they give space to Just a Dream Farm every Saturday and Sunday for an alpaca petting zoo. Their apple picking starts Saturday, September 1st. You can also visit them for brunch on Sunday, September 27th. Tickets cost $35 a piece and the lunch begins at 11am!
