Apple picking in this rural little town is a great way to get away from stress. People are a whole lot friendlier the further from Boston you go, and the apples are a whole lot yummier tasting when you pick 'em off the tree.
Bring your children on the weekends for the Hayrides and farm animals. Go on week days to avoid children (yes, I'm guilty as charged...).
