Are you team Apple or team Pumpkin Spice?! Personally, I'm #TEAMAPPLE! Whichever team you're on, here's where you can go to pick your own in the general area! Note that I included some that are a bit of a drive but I think worth making a day trip out of. Listed in alphabetical order.
Picking seasons, hours, and events vary by farm and not all of their websites are regularly updated.
Be sure to call in advance to verify hours, activities available, fees, and closures!
(If you see pricing missing from a listing, it's because it's not listed online and they didn't answer my phone call! If you find the information please send to me at juliel@macaronikid.com so I can update!)
