Cherrie Brunner:

I love fall apple picking and I usually go to one of several the area North and West of Syracuse. Some known for their corn mazes. (I love those! I dont know why.) or some offer various candy apples. Some even offer a few extra fruits such as pears, or plums also. This past year, the apples were within a few cents of each other whether you got them from the stand or picked your own, so we purchased the ones already picked. Every year when the kids were younger, we always did U-pick apples, strawberries, and raspberries/blueberries.
I keep a database list of all the u-pick growers as I learn about them or have visited them on Plantcycle. In the last few years I have grown a few fruits and berries in my own yard as the price of some berries went up to $4 per pint or more.
