Ahhh Fall is here and apples, pumpkin, spice, and day trips for fresh food are upon us! As with any day trip, please call or email first to confirm that they are picking what you want that day, they're open, and that admission is the same or different if a special event is happening (like a Fall Festival or special tasting).
