Cool weather, leaves changing into vibrant colors, flannel, scarves, and jeans. All the things. And of course, my favorite seasonal activity - visiting apple orchards & pumpkin patches. Walking through a fall farm market and through the apple trees is an ethereal, natural experience everyone can enjoy - when I was younger, I'd take my dog and meander through the orchards, picking apples in New York's hilly and arboreal Westchester County. Now that I'm married and have an energetic five-year-old, we check out the barnyards, the corn mazes, taste caramel apples, apple cider donuts, and maybe this year we'll brave a haunted forest or barn! Because I'm a fall-a-holic, I've rounded up my favorite spots around Dane & surrounding Counties to pick pumpkins and apples and enjoy everything the season has to offer. Which one is your favorite?
