Join the fun of a fall day in New England at Buell's Apple Orchard. Pick apples, watch cider being made, try a caramel apple, have a donut, take a hay ride, walk through a pumpkin field and much more. For most activities there's no charge, so you can enjoy the full day without spending any money. Apples, other than those you eat at the orchard, may be purchased.
