PICKY EATERS
Nabbing fresh apples straight from the tree is an absolute must in fall. “Pick your own” typically begins in early September. Two of our favorite spots for this are Silverman’s Farm in Easton, which has animals to visit and feed, a country store and a playground. And Harvest Moon Farm and Orchard in North Salem, NY, where on weekends families can enjoy live music, food and cider. For the full list of our other favorite orchards, visit stamfordmoms.com.

A little later in the season, head out with the whole family to pluck your perfect pumpkin(s)! Designs by Lee is a top choice for both the selection and customer service. Be sure to visit the goats and take a turn on the playground. Keep an eye out for a list of their family-friendly fall events at designsbylee.com.

DOLLARS TO DONUTS
In fall, we’re nuts for apple cider donuts. Lakeside Diner and Beldotti Bakery are faves for their versions that are best enjoyed on a crisp day at a nearby playground like Chestnut Hill or Barrett Park. There, little ones can burn off the sugar rush before begging to go back for seconds.
