It may
not be officially summer anymore, but, we sure do have some enjoyable
weather this time of year, here in Boston,
MA.
The temps this week are still very summer-like!
As we settle into a gorgeous autumn, a local Bostonian favorite is to
visit the nearby farms and to share in the local bounty along with
some fun on the side. Apple picking is a great way to visit a farm,
get some local produce, and have a great time. It's not just about
apples either, many have pumpkin patches, other fresh produce and
baked goods, and some have farm animals. Apple picking is a great way
to support your local farms. Below are some of the
best the
Boston,
MA area has to offer.
Brooksby
Farm. The Brooksby
Farm is open daily from 9am-6pm, through October 18th.
McIntosh
and Cortland are ripe for the picking. In addition to the picking
there are also birthday parties, a pumpkin patch, and various fall
activities. Located at 54 Felton St., Peabody, MA.
Belkin
Lookout Farm. Established
in 1651, Belkin
Family Lookout Farm, is one of the oldest continuously working
farms in the United States. Located less than 20 miles from Boston,
MA it is on 180 acres. Join in on the fun with a train ride,
Children's Play Area, and farm animals. Gold Supreme apples,
Macintosh apples, Gala apples, Honey Crisp apples, Shinseiki Asian
pears, peaches and plums are currently ripe for the picking. In the
store you can also take your pick of a selection of fruits and
vegetables from the garden. Open daily from 10am-5pm at 89 Pleasant
Street South, Natick, MA.
Nashoba
Valley Winery and Orchard. Nashoba
Valley Winery has fun for the whole family with both local
produce and apple picking, a restaurant, and of course, wine.
Currently available for picking are Macintosh, Gala, Gravenstein, and
Honey Crisp apples. Open daily at 11 am for picking and 11 am for the
winery. Located at 100 Wattaquadoc Hill Road, Bolton, MA.
There
are several pick-your-own
farms in the Boston,
MA area,
for fresh produce year long, not just during apple picking season. I
hope you enjoy this beautiful autumn season and are able to get out
and support some of these local farms. Please contact
a Boston,
MA

MA real
estate needs.
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
