Great activities here! The only problem is that if you go during the fall, it is usually very busy.

Well, I have not been to the orchards lately but I did buy a strawberry rhubarb pie at BigY in Old Saybrook and FYI we needed our very strongest and sharpest knife to cut the outer crust. Once that was accomplished the pie crust was a mess.
