If apple picking is something you look forward to every fall, one website claims these are some of the very best apple orchards to visit this season.

Move over, pumpkin patches! Apple picking is one of those classic fall activities that many families enjoy every year. According to Travelin' Missouri, these orchards are among the best places to go apple picking in Missouri.

Huffstutter Orchards

Huffstutter Orchards in New Franklin, Missouri, takes the number one spot. With fair pricing and several activities to enjoy while you're there, it's easy to see why it came in at number one. This family-run business has also been around since 1958.

West Orchards

Located not far from the Tri-States, West Orchards in Macon is one of the largest orchards in the area. Sitting on 10 acres, there's plenty to see, do, and, of course, eat at this family-friendly farm.

Schweizer Orchards

A little closer to Kansas City, you'll find Schweizer Orchards in St. Joseph. The orchard offers apple picking from now through the first fall freeze.

There are so many great options and places to choose from when it comes to enjoying a day at the orchard. I remember going apple picking as a little girl, riding horses, and simply having a blast. Now, I love being able to share those same fall memories with my girls.
