Hayrides are also offered on Saturdays for the month of October!
8. Tougas Family Farm: apple picking, pumpkin patch, apple cider donuts, you name it and this farm will have all the fall favorites. They also have a farm-themed playground for the kids to enjoy! Reservations for picking are not required.
