The quiet version next door to Honey Pot: no admission fee, buy a bag and go pick apples, choose pumpkins by the piece in the field, free weekend hayrides carry you deep into the orchard, and the pens hold sheep, goats, chickens, and rabbits; the farm store's donuts and cider are just as good with a much shorter line.
