Picking apples on a fall day in Maine is what being in Vacationland in October is all about! Most orchards also have farm stands, delicious baked goods and activities for kids on the weekends. But, what we love abut our favorite orchard in Maine is that you can actually enjoy a train ride through the area to make the visit even more fun!

There are a lot of places to find apples in Maine, but Brackett’s Orchards is one of the best!
