What's Happening the first week of October?: Apple Picking, Pumpkin Picking and More!

October by far is one of my favorite months! The air gets crisp, apple and pumpkin picking, leaf peeping, ideal hiking conditions and of course Halloween. I am putting pumpkin patches in this post because a freeze is near and ideally one wants to get their pumpkins picked prior to a freeze! Since Monday's always have little to no events I will be posting pumpkin pickings there. I am only including in field picking since most places you can get already picked this time of year. I included pictures of the places we have been the past five years with our family.
