Welcome, fall! You're now officially here!! That means it's time for the apples & pumpkins to be picked.
At Stone's Apple Barn (East Moline, 309-496-2318) They're open 7 days a week. Also, beginning in September, you may pick your own apples when you go. There is a 20 lb minimum for pick-your-owns.
At Happy Hollow U-Pick (also East Moline, 309-496-1515), they offer a large variety of produce. For the current selection, simply call them and it'll be listed on their answering machine. Visit them at www.happyhollowupick.com
One I haven't tried, but have heard good things about is Shady Knoll Farms (East Moline 309-496-9636) Many preschool groups are frequenting this one.
Another apple orchard (again, haven't been personally) is Wainwright Orchards (finally a new town--Hillsdale 309-658-2475)
Outside of the Quad Cities, you can try Tanners Orchard with u-pick apples and pumpkins as well as other activities for the family. (Speer, IL , 309-493-5442) They're open 7 days/week from 8-8. For more information and coupons, visit them online at www.tannersorchard.com
