I'm afraid this is too late to help Lori, but in case anyone else is  
still interested, I'd also like to recommend Shelburne Farm.  They are  
better about roping off under-ripe apples than some places, and also  
happen to be a very pleasant place to walk around.  You can also do  
some light hiking in the adjacent conservation land.

Nashoba Valley Winery is not especially good about protecting their  
under-ripe apples from picking, but they grow a wide variety of  
antiques and exotics.  It's best to contact them in advance if you are  
interested in those, as they are mostly available by appointment only.

finally emerging from other activities, and going apple picking today.
