We went to Brooks Farm to go apple picking and Pumpkin Picking on a Warm, Sunny Fall Day (the only one I think we have had this fall). We headed out to what I expected to be a regular farm with wagon rides to the fields and a few thinks set up for the kids. But it turned out to be a tourist attraction for city people with chickens in caged enclosures and such. There were no wagon rides to the fields and the Prices we "let's say" that of a tourist attraction. But we made the best of it and picked our apples into the supplied plastic bags (very environmentally friendly, NOT), there were no apple baskets, the kids wandered out into the field which was quite a hike and picked out their pumpkins. We paid our $12 per pumpkin, and $1.00 per pound for apples and headed home. Next year we will have to find a real country farm not a "meant to impress city kids farm"! Oh well, live and learn! The kids enjoyed picking their apples and pumpkins so that is all that counts.
