Pick your own apples
You may have to reach a little.
2011 Update: We've put together a much more extensive listing and map of pick-your-own apple orchards in the Capital Region.
Apples are here!!! McIntosh and all your other favs. If picking your own is your thing, here's where to go.
(If you're lazy, like us, they'll also sell you the already-picked variety.)

Anyone know where/when I can pick Gala apples. They're the only ones I really like but I've never arrived when they are the ones being picked.
