Fifer Orchards

Apple Picking Season: Begins Aug. 28

Fifer Orchards has been around since 1919 and remains open year-round. However, the fall season is when you have your pick of the best apples (late August) and pumpkins (late September.) The staff recommends bringing your own folding wagon to haul your goodies home, which could also include fresh apple cider doughnuts, locally roasted coffee and more. Fifer’s Fall Fest officially begins Sept. 26 and runs through Halloween, featuring hayrides and a corn maze.
