For a bargain price you can wander among fruit trees and let your taste buds do the shopping. Bring along some friends and a picnic lunch, and you have the making of a perfect weekend afternoon. Pick-your-own orchards are almost always family-friendly, and often have harvest festivals throughout the season, timed to their various crops. Many welcome dogs as well, although you should call ahead just to be sure...
