Apples, Pumpkins, and Cider Donuts: Where to Go This Fall

October is the best month of the year to be in the Hudson Valley, and the orchards know it. Here are the orchards, farm markets, and pumpkin patches in the Almanac, sorted by county.

A few tips: pick-your-own seasons end at different times, so call ahead or check the farm's website before you drive. Weekends get busy, so go early or try a weekday afternoon. And bring cash, since some smaller stands don't take cards.
