We made it through the summer!
Now that the weather is cooling down a bit, we are filling our calendar with fall activities! at the top of the list of course, is Apple picking! A favorite Long Island fall family activity! We are lucky to have so many options for apple picking, from large farms with playgrounds, live music, events, playgrounds and much more, to orchards and stands where you can bypass the work and pick the best apples from large crates!
Although this year, there are new rules and safety precautions in place due to COVID, we sure can’t wait to get out to the orchards! Here are some of our favorite on Long Island!
