An hour outside NYC is a favorite destination for apple-picking in the fall. Soon’s Orchard provides the pathetic city dweller such as myself the experience of (wow) picking one’s apples from their trees. One is given a plastic bag sized according to price, and then go on an apple-picking spree throughout their orchard to fill this bag with fresh crisp goodness.

Don’t miss the orchard store, with the best warm apple cider donuts, pies, hot cider, and other fun treats!
