The Best Apple Picking Farms and Orchards in NJ DE PA MD

I love autumn and late summer. We are busy every single weekend and I love it. Sure, it gets tiring but I just remind myself that in a few short months we could possibly be home-bound for quite months due to winter weather. We love going apple picking and I love coming home with a whole bunch of fresh apples to cook with. My boys are now at an age where they enjoy helping in the kitchen and Brian is even helping me pick out recipes sometimes. This list of best places to pick apples includes southeastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. There are many options in our area, and some of these places offer more than apples. I realize that there are many pumpkin patches too, but this is just apple picking. Many of the pumpkin patches do not have apple picking. And I like to have an excuse to do two different outings with my family!

Keep in mind that these are working orchards. They may not all have the giant corn mazes, hayrides, and commercialism that now comes with fall. Check the website ahead of time because some days we prefer a quieter atmosphere!
