If you’re getting into the rhythm of fall, chances are you’ve already gotten out your warmer clothing and are cozied up somewhere reading this with a blanket and a mug of something warm. Fall fans know that some things are just necessary – cozy sweaters, blankets, mugs of hot tea, coffee, or cocoa – and apples!

The best way to stock up on fall’s bounty is to head to a farm, where you can enjoy an afternoon of picking your own apples. While you’re there, pick up some fresh baked goods and enjoy breathing in the crisp, country air. Here are some of America’s best U-Pick apple orchards!

13. Butler’s Orchard – Germantown, Maryland

Butler’s Orchard prides itself on offering a stellar picking experience, as well as fun activities that you can take part in to really ring in the fall season. They offer apple and pumpkin picking through September and October. Once that season is done, you can even pick up your Christmas tree from Butler’s too!

Their farmers’ market, which is open on the weekends as part of their Pumpkin Festival, is full of dozens of varieties of delicious pies, including unique savory options like potato and broccoli.
