“Johnny Appleseed would be proud to see the crowds at pick-your-own orchards this season. Todd Hultquist, spokesman for the non-profit U.S. Apple Association, is celebrating this year's crop at the North Carolina Apple Festival in Hendersonville this weekend. He shares his list with Kathy Baruffi for USA TODAY of great places for hands-on fun.

“Silverman's Farm Easton, Conn. "In addition to apple picking, autumn in New England is wonderful for leaf-peeping," Hultquist says. Everybody gets a tractor ride when they go to pick apples here because the orchard is on a big hill. Buffalo, llama and deer are among the animals at the 5-acre petting zoo. Stop at the hands-on Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, before or after your visit, where you can touch sea stars, horseshoe crabs and rays (stingers removed) from nearby Long Island Sound. 203-261-3306; silvermansfarm.com”
