Choosing the Right Apples

How do you know which type of apple is right for you depends on if you’ll be using the apples for baking, applesauce, cider, or just snacking.  Also, do you prefer sweet, tart, or a combination?

In addition to apple picking, most orchards offer other fall treats such as apple cider, cider doughnuts, in-season produce, and activities such as the pumpkin patches, corn mazes, gift shops, and more.

Discover local orchards in the Albany area and have fun apple picking! Don’t forget to visit the Orchard Shops for Home Made Pies, Cider Donuts, and so much more!
