Plan Your Apple Picking Adventure in Bucks County
Before you head out, here are a few tips to make your day as sweet as possible:
- Check websites and social media pages for the most up-to-date information regarding apple varieties and availability. Crops may be limited due to an unseasonably warm early spring in 2026.
- Remember to bring your own bags for picking, as some farms may or may not supply baskets or bags for your apples.
- Check the weather. Those cute fall sweaters and boots probably won’t be comfortable for apple picking, as the temps in September and October are usually warm (or even hot) in Bucks County.
