GO APPLE OR PUMPKIN PICKING<br />
Apple and pumpkin picking are favorite fall<br />
activities for humans and—if you choose one of<br />
these places to visit—dogs, too. Pooches are permitted<br />
at farms including Ort Farms in Long Valley,<br />
Hacklebarney Farm in Chester, Red Wagon<br />
Farm in Manalapan and Ward’s Pumpkin Patch<br />
in Ridgewood. Most of these spots restrict where<br />
dogs are allowed on their property, so check each<br />
farm’s website or give them a call before visiting.<br />
