New Hope’s Solebury Orchards is a picturesque spot with countless varieties of crisp, juicy apples that put the store-bought ones to shame, writes Claire Allard for Family Destinations Guide.
On the ride to the farm, enjoy scenic views of Bucks County along the winding backroads accompanied by farmland and historic homes.
The charming barn that serves as the farm’s store is filled with freshly made products and delicious produce. Grab yourself honey, apple butter, and applesauce as you enjoy the comforting aromas filling the space.
There are bins of produce ready to peruse, with apple varieties galore, including Gala, Fuji, Jonagold, Honeycrisp, and Stayman Winesap.
When harvest season rolls around at Solebury Orchards, get your own apples from their rows of trees in the orchard. Enjoy a quick wagon ride before heading out to pick to your heart’s content.
This spot is perfect for families looking to have some fun outdoors.
Throughout the year, there are plenty of other fruits to pick, from strawberries in the early summer to blueberries in July.
Stop by in August to pick some fresh nectarines and peaches, and pumpkins in October.
By September, other apple varieties like Ginger Gold and Zestar will be ripe, with Pink Lady and Granny Smith varieties reaching their peak toward the end of the season.
