Looking for fall festivals? Here's what some Akron area farms, orchards have to offer

I put a spell on you, and now you're.... eating cider donuts in the middle of an apple orchard while a train horn blows in the background?

You too, dear reader, can have this experience before the final leaves fall and winter stakes its claim on Northeast Ohio. It's all about hitting up the area's fall festivals and, of course, wearing flannel while you do it.

Getting to pick your own apples, pumpkins or other fall-themed foods is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what local farms are offering to customers this spooky season .

Here are a few prominent farms in the Akron area to get your fill of fall festivities, and a TikTok video (above) from the pumpkin-picking season to show just how interesting visiting one can be.
