3. Cherry, Peach, and Apple Festivals

The Buzz -- If you want the chance to sample (and go home with) some of the best tree-ripe fruit in the country, then plan on attending these festivals held at Green Bluff Growers. Each festival is unique, but they all feature live music, crafts, and, of course, lots of fresh fruit goodies! The Cherry Festival can be enjoyed in July; the Peach Festival runs in August through Labor Day weekend; the Apple Festival takes place on weekends in September and October. For information on each farm, the individual growers are listed on the site.
