With over a dozen varieties of apples to pick straight from the trees, Wilkens Fruit & Fir Farm is one of the best spots for people who are looking to pick a nice mixture of apples to be used in different recipes. Apple picking season at this farm usually starts on the first day of September and can run through to November. Bags and baskets are provided, as well as picking poles too, and a wagon ride is offered to take visitors over to the designated picking areas. As the days and weeks pass by, new varieties are available for picking, so it can be fun to revisit this farm multiple times to enjoy additional apple types.
