Foliage peeping, football, boots and coats: Fall is here.

So for next week's Patch Picks, we're going seasonal with a perfect autumn activity. We want you to tell us: What are your favorite places to go apple picking?

Tell us why the apple selection or customer service—or hay ride—at an area orchard makes it better than all the others. Maybe you just have warm memories of climbing apple trees, or like the neat, convenient rows of easily-plucked granny smith apples.

In the comments below, tell us who these teachers are and why they deserve some recognition. We'll compile everybody's nominations into next Thursday's Patch Picks column.
