Summer may be officially over with the close of
Labor Day weekend, but, the gorgeous autumn-like weather in Boston, MA
will continue for some time. 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
