๐๐ THIS might be one of my favorite little windows of the year in New Hampshire!
Early September gives us the best of BOTH seasons. Summer isn't quite finished, Fall is starting to sneak in...and our local farms are overflowing with options! Depending on Mother Nature's cooperation, you can still find late peaches and raspberries while the early apples are ready for picking.
A few local favorites to put on your list:
๐ Applecrest Farm Orchards | Hampton Falls โ apples, peaches, raspberries, cider donuts and all the quintessential NH farm goodness steeped in history.
๐ Sunnycrest Farm | Londonderry โ a hometown favorite with apples, late raspberries, peaches and plenty of treats at the farm stand.
๐ Mack's Apples | Londonderry โ one of those classic NH traditions that just feels like September.
๐ Brookdale Fruit Farm | Hollis โ another NH classic, with generations of history and an incredible variety of locally grown fruit.
๐ And yes, I'm giving an honorary mention to Parlee Farms in Tyngsborough because it's just over the border and too sweet to skip. ๐
Grab the kids, pick a peck, eat at least one cider donut too many...and enjoy it. This is one of those very New Hampshire things that makes me love where we live. ๐
Picking changes quickly this time of year, so always check with the farm before you head out! โ
