It’s time to put away your bathing suit and get ready for sweater weather. As the summer heat begins to wane, we are eagerly anticipating the crisp, cool days of fall. With the cooler days comes fun fall activities. This cooler air feels fresh and invigorating. It has us looking forward to fall hikes surrounded by the vibrant colors of the fall foliage, and, of course, the abundance of fun autumn activities.
A favorite fall activity is apple picking—wandering through an orchard, filling baskets with juicy apples, and enjoying the scent of fresh apples in the air. It’s the perfect way to spend a fall afternoon.
No trip to the orchard is complete without indulging in apple cider and if you’re lucky, a warm apple cider donut. We encourage you to do some research and plan an outing to a local orchard with your family and friends to enjoy delicious fall flavors.
We are looking forward to four fun fall activities:
– Carrigan Farms, Mooresville, NC
– Windy Hill Orchard & Cidery in York, NC
– Carolina Balloonfest, Statesville, NC (October 18-20)
– Carter Mountain Orchard in Charlottesville, VA
So, as we say goodbye to summer, let’s welcome fall with open arms and all the cozy, delightful experiences it brings. Look at your calendar and coordinate a fall activity. Here’s to a fabulous fall filled with adventures, apple picking, football games, autumn baking, and every wonderful moment in between.
