The Fall season is just around the corner and will be here before you know it. So many families love to go apple picking and pumpkin picking throughout Long Island.  I know my family does. And when that time comes, some people don't know where to go.  Here is a list of farms that you can pick your own apples and/or pumpkins.

I do recommend to call ahead for hours and availability of apples and/or pumpkins, just to be on the safe side.
