Description: Take your pick: In the summer Smolak Farms has pick-your-own strawberries, blueberries, peaches, and plums. Return in the fall, when Smolak offers a good mix of old, antique, and modern apples for picking. In the fall there’s a festival atmosphere with weekend hayrides and a barn where kids can say hello to the farm animals. The Smolak bakery is famous for its apple cider donuts and delectable fruit pies. Local favorite Treadwell’s ice cream is sold at the ice cream stand—cones along with hand-packed quarts, to go with that pie. Open spring through Dec; hours change seasonally; check website for hours.
