A Few More of Our Favorite Fall ThingsStaff reports - October 14, 2007
NORTH ADAMS - Most of iBerkshires readers' favorite fall activities appear to circle around food.
Maybe it's those warm cider mugs on a chilly autumn evening, or the smell of fresh pumpkin pie they love. Either way, farm stands and pies beat out hiking and biking in our fall survey.
Here at iBerkshires the top activity was walks or hikes in the woods - which was a big zero for our readers. Hikes didn't get a single vote (maybe because there was no Mount Greylock Ramble to take this year) and bike riding, which was No. 9 with us, also was a big loser.
On the other hand, visiting local farm stands, our second favorite activity, got the most votes. Some 27 percent, or nearly a third, of readers say that's what they enjoy in the fall. Fall foods (cider, and caramel apples and pumpkin pie) tied for third at 16 percent.
Our readers like to eat apples but not pick them, apparently. Orchard visits, which we ranked third, got zero votes. They do like picking and carving pumpkins, which rounded out the three-way tie for second place with favorite foods and jumping in piles of leaves, all at 16 percent. They were our No. 5, No. 7 and No. 4 favorite activities, respectively.
All together, the related topics of food, farm stands and pumpkin picking tallied nearly two-thirds of all votes.
Making scarecrows (No. 8) and going to the Fall Foliage parades (No. 6) tied for third with 11 percent each. Trailing in fourth place with 6 percent was campfires.
Since our readers love fall foods, here's another survey - completely unscientific and subjective - of favorite foods. This time, we're leaving No. 10 blank - that's to encourage readers to post their favorite food in the comment section if it's not on the list.
Let us know what you like to eat in the fall. |
