Solebury Orchards

An early bird in the apple-picking season (they start at the end of August), Solebury, located in bucolic New Hope, hits that sweet spot for folks who can’t quite let go of summer (there’s a colorful neighboring flower garden you can frolic through) but are still in full-on apple-picking mode. Go on weekends for the hayride experience. And, if you’re an apple snob, watch the website to keep up with what varieties are being picked that weekend—lest you be stuck with a tarter or sweeter apple than you’re craving.
