Pick some apples

We know this year has been strange and stressful to say the least. With fall upon us, activities like picking apples, wandering through corn mazes, and purchasing pumpkins can still be a thing as long as social distancing and face masks are part of the plan. Venture out of Southie and pick yourself a bushel and peck of farm fresh apples. Make sure to check check all orchard’s websites for up to date safety info, restrictions etc. Some require reservations so double check before you head out!  Check out our roundup here!
