mmmm...Autumn

There are plenty of places around Rochester where you can go to soak up that fall feeling.  The ALL-KNOWING Rochester kids' activity page (recommended by a wise friend) has a complete "Fall Page" that lists all of the farms, orchards, etc. that have fun fall festivities (FFFs for short).   

Last year we went to Powers Farm Market in Pittsford.  We picked out a pumpkin, petted the animals, and walked through three giant corn-husk teepees that are full of lit jack-o-lanterns.  We also went on the haunted hay ride through the woods.  The hay ride was a lot of fun, but it's hard to remember if it was really worth $3.25/person (kids 1 & under ride free).  

We're going to try somewhere different this year, for variety's sake.  Maybe somewhere more farm-y than Powers (which isn't a farm).  What are your favorite places?

I really like Whittier Fruit Farm, which is at 219 Whittier Road. They have pumpkins, apples, and some squash. Pumpkins last week were only 35 cents/lb., and apples I think were 65 cents/lb. Free wagon rides on weekends, too.

Also, the Friday activity group is going to Powers Farm Market on Oct. 31st at 10 am.
