Best Apple Farms Near Boston

New Englanders in Boston know that crisp autumn weather brings thick, cozy sweaters and soothing hot apple cider. Orange, red and gold leaves crinkle underfoot, and the city bustles with students going back to school. Back Bay offers easy access to the best of Boston, but high-end apartment living doesn’t mean having to give up pleasurable fall adventures. Nearby farms and orchards offer a variety of activities, from picking apples to navigating corn mazes.
