There is a BIG list of places in the US, but there's also other countries as well (I think I read you're not in the US). Maybe that would be helpful? If you want to check out the dwarf trees, my son has a blog entry with pictures from our day there. http://reesesviewoftheworld.blogspot.com/2007/07/peach-apple-picking.html It will give you a better idea of the tree size!

I've just ordered a box of apples to help a local school. That's a much as we can do this year. I'll be on the look out for thornless blackberry bushes though. Thanks for coming back to let me know. I had visions of lifting the boys up for an apple and that not lasting long with me.................. What a great idea Dwarf apple trees. I’ve just ordered a box of apples to help a local school.

Actually, the orchard we visited had all dwarf apple trees. They planted their orchard years ago with the purpose of bringing children into the orchard for field trips & for families to come together. So all the trees were short & there were many, many apples within my son's reach! I never knew such things existed! Next year, we'll be visiting a blueberry/blackberry farm...they have thornless blackberry bushes so my son can actually pick blackberries & not get poked! Hi!

I would love to be able to do them both but just don't have the freezer space to do both this year. How did your 4 year old reach the apples? If only I could find a blackberry patch nearby..... SAHMmy: Great title :) Thanks. Snap! It never occurred to me either. Good idea. Ask around and try the link above you might find one in your area. Thanks for stopping by.

And what a cutie! I didn't know you could pick your own vegetables--outside pumpkins, that is. :) I'll have to look into it; we live in a farm community so I'm sure programs exist. Found you through Carnival of SAHM's. Beautiful photos! And what a cutie!

I took my 4yo apple picking this summer, & he's never been happier to eat apple, skin & all, whole! We made soooo many recipes with all the apples, and he ate every single one because they were HIS apples :) Lucky you to have a good veggie picking place! Thanks for sharing your adventure!
