North Andover’s Smolak Farms has eight orchards and kids love the ice cream stand. Londonderry’s Sunnycrest Farm features apple picking all October and kids love to feed the farm animals.

Elizabeth Nadeau Pottery at The Village Studio

North Andover’s Elizabeth Nadeau’s pottery is available at The Village Studio. The local artisan makes nature-inspired plates, platters, and trays. Like the pumpkin pieces below. And she uses a pottery-decorating technique called Sgraffito. Which in Italian means to scratch. The beautiful result is contrasting images, patterns, and textures that reveal the clay color underneath. So, stop by the North Andover Gift shop soon. And see the different sized trays and sand bowls available for your fall decorating or tablescapes.
