September is the best month for apple picking and luckily for us in the QC, there are several different orchards we can visit for that.

Picking apples right from the orchard is something that just screams fall. What's more, most of the apple orchards nearby offer many more activities than just picking apples. The best time to go apple picking is in September/early October so it's the season for it. Scroll down to see some of the apple orchards close to us and what they have to offer!

Stone's Apple-Barn

Stone's Apple-Barn is in East Moline. Granted, they haven't updated their Facebook in a hot minute but their hours are still listed as the same. You can pick your own apples at Stone's Apple-Barn. They have a general store and farm animals too.

Camp Creek Farm & Orchard

Camp Creek is only about a half hour outside of the QC in Lynn Center, IL. You can get details about the apples you can pick here. Keep an eye out for pumpkins you can pick out too!
