Back to Hudson Valley Field Guide

The Hudson Valley grows more than grapes. Across 32 towns from Altamont to Yorktown Heights, we've catalogued 42 farms and orchards where you pick your own apples, berries, and pumpkins, or load up at farm stands bursting with seasonal produce. Cedar Heights Orchards in Rhinebeck commands views of the Catskills. Dr. Davies Farm in Congers has occupied the same 65 acres since 1891—you'll find a corn maze and warm cider donuts alongside the apple trees. Fishkill Farms in Hopewell Junction opens pick-your-own slots from June strawberries through October apples. For serious pumpkin season, Barton Orchards in Poughquag spreads across 122 acres with a five-acre corn maze, petting zoo, and tap room. Cider donuts, heirloom varieties, October apples—this list covers what's open and where.

Lawrence Farms Orchards

Go on a Tuesday and admission drops to $7 instead of $10, and you'll have the hillside rows mostly to yourself while you pick whatever's in from that week's rotation: strawberries in June, cherries and peaches by midsummer, apples through the fall. Leave the backpack in the car; you'll get a farm-provided container and a wristband at the gate instead.
