We went apple picking. I never really understood why people went apple picking; there couldn't really be that many apple connoisseurs that cannot be appeased by a grocery store.
Farms that offer apple picking are more like agriculture theme parks. They offer several attractions, one of which is picking apples off of trees. The others are things like:
- Tractors rebuilt into playground structures
- Goats, alpacas, donkeys, and sheep
- Cider donuts
- Grilled foods
- Pumpkin zones to walk through
- Hay bale pyramids
- Tractor-shaped pedal carts
- Hay rides (rides on carts with a few bales of hay in them pulled by tractors)
