What beautiful weather we have been having to end summer and begin the "start of fall".This week we visited Parlee Farms in Tyngsboro, MA to do some apple picking.
$22 will buy you a 1/2 bushel of apples and allows 5 people into the orchard. We took a REAL hayride to the apple orchards (available to only the apple pickers).
Only two 1/2 rows were open (Macintosh and Gala apples) when we visited but their was plenty of apples to go around for everyone. If you like roaming through the entire orchard looking for that perfect apple this place may not be for you. Its quite restricting compared to some other places I have been. However for us it is close to home and something you can do easily in an afternoon and then go home and make pies (like we did).
Parlee Farms also has a zoo area with sheep, goats (actually lots of goats), bunnies, and some type of birds. When we arrived they were setting up their hay maze for the kids.
We live close by so this location made sense for us to visit without costing a lot in gas.
