My family has made it a tradition to go to the orchard every fall for a hay ride and to get our pumpkins for halloween. We have been to several orchards, but keep going back to Montrose Orchards because they are affordable and entertaining.
They offer family activities including picnic areas, fall hayrides, craft shows, and animals. You can also watch while they process apples to make cider.
They also have a great gift shop with unique items, and a market that offers fruits and vegetables, baked goods, apple cider, jams, honey, maple syrup, cherry juice and concentrate, and gift baskets/boxes.
If you haven't yet, you should consider making this a tradition for your family. Oh, and I forgot to mention, the hayride actually stops off at their pumpkin patch so you can get out and pick your own pumpkins! :)
