There's no food that welcomes feeling of fall like freshly picked apples. In Lehigh Valley, you'll find a number of locations offering locally-grown varieties, both in pre-picked and pick-your-own options. Before you head to the grocery store to stock up, consider paying a visit to one of these local pick-your-own farms, each offering the chance to head out to the fields and stock up on fall's sweetest treat.
No one celebrates the season quite as good as Grim's Orchards Fall Festival from September 12 - November 1, 2020 (9941 Schantz Rd., Breinigsville)! Hop on a hayride to make your way to the orchard for apple picking, or opt for the perfect pumpkin in their spacious patch. Families will love additional activities including a corn maze, apple launching, and more. Pre-picked apples are also available at their roadside market, as well as their famous apple cider slushies. Yum!
