It’s the first weekend in October and, with rain in the local morning forecast, I set out to find the nation’s classic fall traditions. The farms that are packed with families willing to drive an hour because that’s where they’ve always gone. The cider mills that are cranking out the fresh apple cider and donuts that you will be hankering for every fall for the next thirty years. The locations that draw giant pumpkin farmers and guests from across the region to see who has the heaviest pumpkin.
From farms which could be best characterized as amusement parks, to classic working farms and apple orchards with u-pick apples and pumpkins, to a country store with a hayride that has built a loyal following, these 25 farms, apple orchards and cider mills are favorite fall destinations for thousands of guests every year.

We used to go to Oak Glen every year. The cider was raw and fresh, and so good.
it’s called Agri-tainment.
I’ll be more than happy to entertain someone if they want to ride a tractor and mow pasture for about 8 hours.
I used to go there every year until I moved.
Your post jogged the memory. We haven't gone in a long time- Might just have to make a trip up there. Agree with you that they have the best apples and cider. Lovely little shops and resturaunt in the area too, as I recall.
