Visiting a farm on a weekday is truly a privilege. No crowds, no noise, just a few people leisurely milling about, enjoying the peace and quiet of the autumn season, just like yourself. Highly recommend choosing a weekday, instead of a weekend, to have the premises to yourself, to truly enjoy the nature. Granted, there will be no weekend festivities [for which you have to purchase tickets], but you will still have so much to do.
We went apple picking in mid-October, when most apples are already gone and many farms no longer do pick your own. However, this farm had quite a lot of apples for October 17th, so we enjoyed plenty. No entrance fee to pick your own apples. You purchase a bag at the entrance. The prices are: $9 for 3.5lb bag [1/4 peck], $13 for 5lb bag [1/2 peck], $26 for 10lb bag [1 peck]. The bags on display look small, and the bag that your receive looks even smaller. You can purchase those same apples at the farm store, for cheaper, but the joy is in the picking.
The apple orchard is not that large, so a few hours will be plenty for filling your bag. The farm store is located not far. You can purchase goodies, flowers, and produce. There is also a petting zoo, a playground, a swing, and a pond for family enjoyment. Pony rides and a corn maze are available for purchase. During the weekend, there is also music and food. For those "Fall Festival festivities" you need to purchase tickets, which really does not justify a long drive all the way here.
