WHERE TO GO APPLE PICKING

Planning to hit the orchards this weekend? Greater Boston is loaded with farms where you can fill a bag with crisp apples, sip hard cider, hop on a hayride and demolish a cider donut (or three). Biting into that juicy Honeycrisp is so much more satisfying when you pick it yourself (sorry, we don’t make the rules).
