Apple Picking in and Around Fairfield County, CT
Where can you pick apples in southwestern Connecticut?
One great way to get your kids to eat more fruit—and introduce them to the subtleties of sweet/tangy tastes -- is to take them apple picking at a local orchard. Below are places to go and things to do for a day in the orchard all around our area.
The State of Connecticut's Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) program requires that pets not accompany owners into orchards. And one last thing: If a grower does not have a web site listing hours, PLEASE call first to make sure they are open! (This is experience talking!)
