Guide To Apple Picking In Rochester

Guide To Apple Picking

Apple picking is such a treat in Western New York. There are several wonderful apple farms in our area and we’ve mapped them out for you in our Guide To Apple Picking In Rochester. Before you head out, visit the farm’s website for details on their hours and other activities that they offer. Many start their apple-picking season around Labor Day and some have varieties that will be ready to pick as late as November.

Top Tips For Apple Picking In Rochester For Moms

  • Check the weather ahead as it may get hot. Bring some sunscreen and water along.
  • Be prepared to walk in grassy areas with uneven paths and possibly mud.
  • If you have a little one, bring the baby body carrier instead of the stroller.
  • Some farms provide bags, but bring your own reusable bags for your apples, just in case.
  • A lot of farm stands do not take cards so it is always good to have cash on hand.
