When I was growing up on the South Shore, we always took a very long ride out on Rt. 2 to find our apples and pumpkins. Now – we don’t have to look far. There are so many farms that have opened right in our area.
Last weekend we took a trip ….a short, 3 minute trip, that is……to Nihtila Farms in Holbrook. This farm is located on Randolph Ave. Follow the signs through a wooded area to a pumpkin field. Tractor rides are only $1 per person. The farm offers free picked apples and there are plenty of fall decorations such as corn stalks and carving tools to choose from.
CN Smiths Farm in East Bridgewater is a great place to pick apples. They also offer a hay ride at $3.75 per head. This long hay ride brings you to a pumpkin patch. The farmstand offers an array of fresh produce and there are plenty of great things for the kids to check out…..like a toy locamotive and the growing selection of Halloween items. In addition, there are plenty of animals to visit.
