Apple picking

Apple Picking is one of America’s greatest fall traditions. While there aren’t any apples for picking in Fells Point, be sure to take some time to check out one of these Maryland farms, not too far from your home at Union Wharf, for apple picking.

In addition, Heyser Farm serves as a year round market that sells fresh fruit, sweet cider, local milk, ice cream, honey, jams, and so much more. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget about their bakery, which offers an assortment of cookies and pies—Mondays are half off pies!

Located in Harford County, this farm is also family owned and was founded in 1928 by the Lohrs.
