Search online at allaboutapples.com which is a website to:

"Provide education about apples, promote segments of the Apple economy including the many fine orchards and growers, and develop an online community of people passionate about apples."

From their website, you can check out local apple orchards under orchard listings.

Many orchards offer additional activities for the family such as hay rides, petting zoos, snack bars and restaurants.

It's just about that time of year, to enjoy the fall weather and pick some apples!
