If you don’t understand that fall is by far the best season, I gotta ask… who hurt you?

For those of us who get it, we all have a place or an activity that gives us a bit of a fall boost when we need one. Where are the most popular? Gunther Volkswagen Delray Beach did a survey to find out.

They asked over 3,000 people where their favorite place to go is to get their fall on. Whether it's cinnamon baked goods or pumpkin spice lattes, fall lovers have a special spot.

Battleview Orchards

As described in the report: "The rows of trees stretch into the distance, families move at their own pace, and the air carries that familiar mix of cider and fallen leaves."

You’ll find them at 91 Wemrock Road in Freehold.

I can say from personal experience: this place is great. A true central Jersey staple.

They’re open every day except Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
