Finally had a chance to go apple picking with a group of friends at this lovely, sprawling orchard…read moreduring Fall Festival Country Music theme weekend. There was a lot going on throughout, including awesome live music, hot apple cider, farm store filled with gourmet products, multiple food vendors, pumpkin cheesecake tastings, and of course the vast orchard where all the apple trees were, which were all located uphill. There were over 10 different types of apples, such as Mutsu, Evergreen, Macoun, Snapdragon, and Honeycrisp. I mostly collected the more unique kinds. I also managed to locate the Pear trees, way behind the hay riding area. I picked Asian and Bosc pears. We went on a hay ride, which was $5 and it was rustic, bumpy, giving a sweeping view of the beautiful orchard grounds. Back in the main area, we had lunch. By this time, lines were pretty long, so we divided and conquered, as well as found a place to sit. I shared Pork Ribs and Fries, which were both very tasty. The Ribs were delightfully tender and well seasoned. Fries were perfectly crispy. One draw back was that most everything at the store and most lunch items were quite expensive. Overall, there were great vibes, and I really enjoyed the views at the farm, apple / pear picking, as well as the hay ride.

One of the best times I've had in a really long time!…read more As a born and raised Floridian, I'd never been apple picking, but a fall trip demanded it so we found ourselves here on the last weekend of the season. We started down at the bottom of the hill with "Apple Cannons" ! Pneumatic launchers that lobbed our apples into an old truck, pumpkins, hay bales, and fun targets. So awesome! Then we headed up to the main event and wow! It was a total vibe! - A live band playing exactly the perfect country music you'd expect at an apple orchard on a cool fall day. - Vendors selling soft & hard cider, juice, various hot foods, and my personal favorite, hot fresh apple cider donuts! - Costumed characters walking around passing out trick or treat candy to the kids. - An Apple orchard! Row after row after row of apple trees, most were picked pretty clean, but we found lots of juicy and delicious fruit waiting for us on the trees. You can wander around and eat whatever you want or buy a bag and take some home... We did both! Inside there's a general store and souvenir shop as well, and everyone we let or talked to was helpful and friendly, but we had all our fun out in the open.

I absolutely love the friendly community and warm that everyone brings to this farmers market. Live music, lots of dog treats and a little bit of history in this park dating back hundreds of years ago. Very intriguing. " if you wanna know the history, you'll have to Google it!"

Since moving here, people talked a lot about the farmer's market here in town. Now I get it. This…read moreis one of the better farmer markets I've seen, and I've seen an inane number of them. Most of the path around patriot's park covered with vendors on both sides. This includes veggies, bread, meat, cheese and everything in between. In addition, there are prepared food vendors that offer stuff to eat there, as well as an interesting assortment of other vendors including mushrooms, teas, coffees, beer, liquor and more. Plenty to see--including showy things like paella making, gots and pizza making occasionally--and it's really just nice to walk around. It's also adjacent to the library, a kids playground (why gets mobbed), and is a short walk from Beekman St. Parking can be a challenge if arriving late however there's typically enough unless it's a crazy weekend (ie: around Halloween). Definitely worth a trip at least once in awhile if you're nearby.

That's all. Just Thursday. Despite today's Thursday drizzle, we did just that and spent an hour or so wandering around the grounds, chatting with the vendors, enjoying the live music, and everything else you do at a Farmer's Market. It's a good-sized market with plenty of space in its aisles and between booths. We saw a big choice of fruit and vegetable stands, meat, dairy, poultry and seafood vendors, plenty of food vendors, and even a few adult beverage booths. The Parlor pizza and Nit Noi Asian food stations were among the busiest vendors. We stopped at Nit Noi and picked up a frozen bag of shrimp dumplings ($16) and a jar of soy chili oil ($5). PRO TIP The Market is located pretty close to the Saugatuck River, and if you explore the grounds you'll find a footbridge that crosses the river and a walking path that follows the river, So if you gorge yourself on Farmer's Market pizza and ice cream, you can walk it off to some degree.

I appreciate that they've added select Saturday dates recently, as it's helpful for those of us working during their usual Thursday hours. My favorite vendor is Riverbank Farm, which offers delicious produce and prepared foods. I was slightly disappointed to find that their winter prepared foods are currently sold frozen, as it altered the texture and taste a bit. We picked up the classic hummus, a carrot sage hummus, pesto, vegetarian borscht, and carrots. The hummuses took about six hours to defrost at room temperature, while the borscht took a full 24 hours and was still a bit icy on top. Both hummuses were great as per usual; I preferred the flavor profile of the classic, which features garlic scapes, while two family members preferred the carrot sage. The pesto was quite oily, so it paired very well with pasta, though it did congeal once it went back in the fridge and required time to sit out again the next day. Similarly, the regular hummus hardened a bit overnight. The borscht wasn't our favorite, but I think that may have been due to the frozen-and-unfrozen nature of the dish. The carrots were delicious! We also enjoyed a vegetable quesadilla from Boxcar Cantina, which came with pico de gallo and avocado slices. The vegetables were fresh and the flavor was yummy, although it wouldn't be my first choice from their menu. While it had a solid amount of vegetables, I would have preferred more, as the edges were either plain or just cheese. We'll definitely keep coming back!

It was crowded with families but I walked for awhile on the trails and then ended up away from the crowds that were closer to where there animals were housed.

They have a lot of staff walking around guiding people around the farm area. There is plenty of signage to find your way. And, there was a snack bar with a variety of food too. I look forward to coming back here and seeing more farm life soon!

No cover charge and I could eat a dozen donuts. We got the scones and apple strudel as well. Both 12/10! The apple cider is also off the charts. Some of the best I've had. The pies are super fresh and I wanted one of everything! They post that they sell at local DeCicco's as well but can't confirm if it's all flavors... No u pick apples but they have every variety imaginable in the stand and all were fresh like they were picked that day. Plenty of other farm fresh veggies and honey. There is also some spots to eat outside and a food truck with some pizza and bbq options. The road to get here is a little rough. Super narrow and some spots where only one car can pass at a time. There is a parking lot and street parking available. Would very much depend on the time of day and year you are going but we were able to get a spot in front at the end of the day. Would definitely recommend for anyone of all ages especially if you love apple cider donuts!
