Here, on the North Shore, just North of Boston, we can be pretty serious about apple picking! 
Some of us are very familiar with Russell Orchards in Ipswich, Brooksby Farm in Peabody, Cider Hill Farm in Amesbury, Connors Farm in Danvers and Smolak Farms in North Andover, but have you heard of these North Shore Apple Orchards? Barker's Farm Stand in North Andover, Boston Hill Farm in North Andover, Fay's Farm in Haverhill, Ingaldsby Farm in Boxford, Long Hill Orchard in West Newbury
Road tripping outside of the North Shore you might like Highland Farm Orchard in Holliston, MA, Honey Pot Hill Orchards in Stow, MA, Shelburn Farm in Stow, MA, Belkin Family Lookout Farm in Natick, MA, Dowse Orchards in Sherborn, MA, Carver Hil Orchard in Stow, MA. I can smell the pies already!
