Bishop's Orchard is a fun local farm where you can buy plants in the spring, veggies at the farm stand all summer, then pick your own apples and pumpkins come fall. They're easy to get to from I-95, and the produce is worth the occasional visit (unless you live on the shoreline, in which case you should pop in regularly). I make it a point to pick some apples each year. We live in New England. Apple picking is part of the deal. There are orchards that are slightly more picturesque if you're looking for an incredible apple picking experience, but Bishop's is best for kids - lots of low hanging fruit and other attractions.
