So far, this is the best summer ever. From outdoor live music and movie series, baseball in the heart of downtown Newport, hidden gems, and more, we're soaking up as many experiences as we can while the days are long and the weather is warm. 

PICK-YOUR-OWN

Now, we want you to get your hands dirty. Next on our list of summertime experiences: pick-your-own orchards.
