This year we returned to Carlson Orchard in Harvard, MA for apple picking. Much to our surprise, Liesel LOVED it! Because we went early enough in the season, there were still tons of apples on the lower branches just at Liesel's height. There's no maze or pumpkin shop but there IS a huge stone in the middle of the orchard which makes for a nice, cool place to rest after climbing trees. 
Their relatively simple shop has some sparkling apple juice and the VERY best part: an oven which perpetually delivers hot apple crisp. YUM!I read an article about how east coast orchards really have a brilliant idea by opening up their grounds for people to go apple-picking. Other orchards such as those in California pay migrant workers while those here actually charge people to harvest for them; all the while considering it a novelty. That doesn't bother me as much as the fact we bought a bunch of apples at the grocery store the day before knowing we were going apple picking. What were we thinking?
