Apple picking around Vancouver is an activity that needs to be a part of your plans this upcoming season.
Picking your own fruit is an annual tradition in British Columbia, and with autumn fast approaching, there will soon be plenty of plump apples ready to be plucked straight from the tree.
Although there are a ton of day-trip-worthy farm destinations near Vancouver, there are only a few places where you can pick your own apples.
