Admittedly, I haven't been to that many farms for apple-picking, but Hurds is my favorite thus far…read more It's conveniently located off the Thruway (halfway between where I live and where I'm often going), it's staffed by people who I think are saints based on the shenanigans I've seen some of the patrons get into, and it's got all the things: Apples, of course. They've got all the varieties you want, but be aware that depending on when you go, only a couple of them are ripe for the picking. We just came home with a giant bag of Empires, and I couldn't be happier. Pumpkins. They have tiny decorative ones, medium ones for painting/carving, and larger ones for real deal jack-o-lanterns. Fun for the fam. There's a corn maze, a hayride that takes you around the farm and to the apple orchards, animals to feed, an obstacle course, zipline, water cannon, sandbox, tractors to sit on, tires to run on, a giant bounce pillow (like a big trampoline without the hard edges, and the one my girls live for: the giant slide. It's a pretty great slide. We've been the past couple of years in a row, and I'm not going to mess with a good thing. See you out there.

Wright's Farm in Gardiner is exactly that kind of place. Established in 1904, this beautiful family farm offers an incredible selection of fresh produce, delicious baked goods, homemade jams, honey, pickles, breads, plants, and so much more. I was especially impressed by their greenhouse operation, which includes both hydroponic and aquaponic growing systems. They grow fresh lettuce, cucumbers, and strawberries right on the property using innovative growing methods. The farm itself is beautiful, with apple and peach orchards, fields of wildflowers, and plenty of seasonal produce. There's also a great selection of perennial plants for anyone looking to add something new to their garden. And there's even a brewery right on the property, making Wright's Farm more than just a place to pick up groceries. It's a destination to explore, shop, eat, drink, and enjoy the beauty of the Hudson Valley. From the incredible selection of locally produced foods to the beautiful landscape and innovative farming practices, Wright's Farm was definitely a highlight of our visit. Fresh food, local farms, beautiful scenery, and a true Hudson Valley experience. I'm looking forward to coming back.

Place is beautiful and calm, with rows on rows of flowers. Scissors are provided as well. They have a selection of rose and draft can beers too. I recommend bring light snacks to prolong your stay and take your time picking the perfect flowers. I wouldn't recommend going on a super hot day. Limited shaded. Picnic tables available. Overall this would be a perfect date day or for me a perfect date day with my toddler.

AMAZING FARM/ORCHARD!…read more Make sure to come here for some delicious apples, peaches or whatever is in season! Loved the bag filled of donut peaches for only like $9! Came with almost 30 peaches. Definitely worth the price especially since these are fresh picked and taste like candy! They also let you sample some of the fruit they have on season so that's definitely a nice touch! Apple cider is a must! Non pasteurized and made fresh with their apples. They sell it in a half gallon and gallon portion. Soooooo good! Apples, peaches and tomatoes are also sold by the box at great pricing. Perfect for splitting up with a friend. Fresh things available all during season. Would def come back for more!

Went with friends to this Apple, picking Orchard. I've been…read moreto a few Apple picking orchards over the years. It was very crowded, it could've been the beautiful weather for the end of October. The fall foliage really added to the experience. Picked up a couple of things; apple cider, apple cider donuts, apple butter. Paid cash; but they have no way to give you a receipt or email one to you. They don't accept Apple Pay. It's a little confusing in the shop; there's one long line and only two cashiers. There's the usual hayrides and activities for children. They could use more parking. The crushed gravel is difficult to navigate for someone who has mobility issues.

Last year, they had the BEST warm apple cider donuts - and their hot apple cider was the real deal, not that watered-down stuff you get everywhere else. It was the perfect combo for a chilly autumn day.

Hopefully, they'll consider offering the hot cider and fresh donuts every day next year so more people can enjoy them!

We stopped in yesterday to pick up some tomatoes, which are in season now. Heirloom tomatoes are $6.00 a pound, and cherry tomatoes are $6.00 a pint.

This family-run organic farm in New Paltz makes Ossining's farmers' market its home and showcases a large variety of gorgeous vegetables (and some fruit). My favorites this past summer and spring were their sugar snap peas, yellow watermelon, huge selection of greens, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, delicata squash, celery, scallions, salad mix, peppers, eggplants, zucchini, and more. I have to credit Taliaferro for almost single-handedly increasing my vegetable consumption from that of a picky child who eats only corn (I jest, sort of) to me claiming, last night, that I could be a vegetarian if for some reason I needed to... except for beef. I love the challenge of cooking seasonally with their offerings for the week, and they give you a push in the right directions with their newsletter, which lists recipes for some of the more unusual offerings each week.
