Pick-Your-Own Apple Spots Near Reading

By LIZ TAURASI (Patch Staff)

Apple picking season is here and after last year’s not so great apple crop for many farmers in New England, this year’s apple picking crop is looking to be one of the best.

This season is off to an early start and is expected to be most active through late October.

There are more than two dozen apple varieties available this season. Want to know when to find your favorite? Check out the breakdown here >>>
