WARWICK — An increase in local traffic is a good sign that Warwick's annual apple picking season is in full swing. And local orchards are open for pick-your-own-apples daily from now until early November.
Visiting many of the farms has become a traditional family outing, especially for people living in the heavy populated boroughs of New York City and the surrounding Metropolitan area.
