My lab wanted to go apple picking and we ended up choosing this orchard. I believe there were…read moreothers close to this one, but we went with Ochs because of the low admission fee ($5 per person) and petting zoo. It was an hour and a half drive from upper Manhattan. We went here on a random Wednesday afternoon so we basically had the orchard to ourselves. The first parking lot you see is for their store, you have to keep driving up for the u-pick orchard. There you check in to pay your admission fee, get your wristband, and get your apple picking bag(s). They give you a map where the ripe apples are highlighted for you. My favorite apples were the honeycrisp and snap dragons. They grow vegetables too but honestly we didn't explore the orchard that much (it was huge) so the only other thing I picked besides apples was a tomato, which I felt like was pretty difficult to find a good one. I handed out the apples to other friends and colleagues and they all liked them! There's something different about picking the apple straight off the tree than the apples you would normally just buy at a grocery store. It's a lot crispier when you pick them yourself! The store has apple cider doughnuts! Now being that I am a Californian where we don't have this apple picking culture, I was wondering what all the hype around apple cider doughnuts was about. NOW I GET IT they're so good! Unfortunately since we went on a weekday the doughnuts weren't fresh (they make them fresh on the weekends) so some of them were stale, but most were still good. It's honestly more of a cake than a doughnut, but so good! The doughnuts are self serve towards the back. The store also had a cat on the prowl haha We ended up not even having time to visit the petting zoo, but overall I think my colleagues had a good time here and I would recommend this orchard for anyone trying to have a no frills apple picking experience. I believe there was like a building restroom closer to the store and port o potties closer to the u-pick orchard.

We came on a winter day few days after Christmas and they had free samples of apple cider. I got some tea and honey to bring back home to FL. I also bought some apples and they were so soft inside and juicy. Unlike any other apple I've had. I wish I had a way to bring the Amish butter home since a family member has it in their home I often have it with bread in the morning. The staff were friendly, and everything was well-organized. Heads up It's a bit busy during peak times, but that's to be expected at a popular place. But when we came on a Saturday they were practically empty and lady made a joke not to come on the weekends so I assume normally it's a busy day or they dedicate it to stocking up since when we came I saw about 3 of the staff unboxing stuff. Overall, a really enjoyable experience with a charming atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back next season!

We came here in October when fall season festivities were in full swing, and had a lot of fun!…read moreThere were many kids and family activities such as a corn maze, apple cannon, tube slide, pedal bikes, cow train ride, pumpkin patch, barnyard animals, and more. Most of these are included in the price of admission except for the pony rides, apple cannon, and pumpkin picking. If you're lucky and timely, you'll also catch the candy cannon blast, which the children eagerly await and sprint toward the candy sprayed across the field! They sell apple cider donuts, beer, and some basic food. A nice feature is that there are proper bathrooms and sinks to wash up in here, in addition to the porta potties which is all that most farms have. There is plenty of parking, and no reservation or advance admission is required, though you can secure your ticket in advance online if you wish.

I don't know that Wright is a Maze ing, but it was sure a trip for the two of us. We stopped on by…read morebecause the "sunflower maze" from last time was not a maze at all, and we knew Wright is an actual maze each year. With the entry fee paid, we decided to enjoy as much of the farm as we could. We looked at the petting zoo (not much to do, the goats were being happily fed already), the race course (all kids' vehicles, sadly), the apple cannon (extra fee, more fun to watch than to shoot we thought)... So you get the idea, adults maybe are more limited to the maze and the local products for sale in the payment area. So the maze: Like others have said, it's gotten overgrown. Unlike the top places (Cherry Crest in PA), Wright does not clear all the maze paths. It's not just hard to tell whether a path is a dead end or not, or whether it's actually a path or just a cut through some broken stalks; it's hard to just walk some of the paths due to the wet overgrown grass and weeds. Looking beyond path condition, there are two mazes (or at least were in 2025), an easier A and a harder B maze. The B maze was bigger but we were done in 10 minutes, and only had 3 clues to follow if we wanted to. (The solvable clues are "What is the answer to this question? A. Turn left. B. Turn right. C. Turn left." So even without knowing the anwer, just pick the choice that is different.) Jeez, the A maze must be super easy. Nope. We got hopelessly lost there. The one hint we needed to get ourselves found had 4 clues, two Turn Lefts and two Turn Rights. Without knowing the answer (what percent of... something), we kept finding ourselves back at this sign. The path conditions did not help us navigate, and unlike Cherry Crest, you don't get a maze puzzle to put together and help you get out, so you can actually get yourself very lost in there. Fortunately, we eventually found ourselves skipping ahead from Clue 2 to Clue 4, and made our way out a solid 45 sunburned minutes later. Fun story, right? So then we said, let's go catch a hayride while we're here. We were the only ones on, it took us up barely past the maze and then turned around. That was it, the pumpkin patch was just past the maze after all that. So I let my lady down... to incredible rudeness from the driver because we undid the latch and the stairs ourselves instead of waiting for him. I admit I should not have done that, but he should have been a TINY bit nicer about it. Verdict: Pumpkin patch yes. Kid stuff yes. Maze no. Service no. Nice little local collection of goods in the entryway. I will quote another review I see from another Elite: "This farm is nothing spectacular." But it's good enough to bring the kids for a half day out.

The area is huge so it doesnt feel so crowded and everybody usually seems to have their own private space. It also a little uphill so the air is fresh and view is lovely. Dogs are also allowed here too. The barn area and stores can get pretty crowded though and they tend to sell out fast with their apple cider donuts. They have a few farm animals, have apple cider for sale (and if you forget they also sell some as you leave the farm by the "gates"). Recently they have added more porta potties so the lines go quick. However the grass all over the apple orchard tends to be left alone so some are overgrown and could reach up to your knees if youre a little shorter like me lol

I'm a big fan of the huge variety of offerings and the lovely market and dining area with plenty of food and drink options. The only drawback is that when it gets busy here, you can expect to wait for a long time on various lines and it does get a crazy at times. The other issue is that the picking area is up on a very steep hill so if you plan on making your way down to the market area I would strongly suggest first putting your apples away in the car park and then driving down to the other lot that's at the lower elevation by the market area. This will save you quite a bit of walking up a hill later on. Otherwise it was generally a good experience.

Come up to me from your lower shelf Mr. Sweet Potato and bring your friend Mr. Acorn Squash and come to know me better men. We'll sit by the fireplace and lite a pipe and pour a sherry and talk and then -- it's into my pot with you, where you'll enjoy a slow warm rolling boil and a sprinkle of crisp garlic chives when your finished from the pan then plated upon my Lilique. Some days I see them at the most oddest of hours - such as when I'm out stomping the bricks with dog or drink in hand (or both isn't that uncommon) - and it's typically quite dark out at this hour and we're a quite and dimly lit late night neighborhood, except for me who stalks the streets to protect and if you see me coming - you might just wanna run as fast as you can if your a bad guy. But now I feel the warmth of a new friend whose always home, one that can provide the supplies for anything my little mind can conjure up - "Ratatouille" you inquired? "Why, yes of course loves" I reply in kind as we pick the ripe ingredients out selectively and safely place them in my personal sweetgrass basket. And in my basket are many other things I'd like to tell you about, but it'd take a fortnight to do so because in my life, no words are wasted inasmuch as I can help it. But I'll tell ya what -- the thought that food should come to us in cans and jars, boxes and bags with ingredients topping the double digit numbers is just boulderdash to me. Why not drop that count of money into mineral and nutritionally rich foods that wrap themselves for us - ohh and I should have mentioned this sooner, it's not just a fruit based market, the vegetable selection makes the surrounding markets quiver in their boots in terms of price, quality and certainly availability. So go see my main man Sam and tell him Mr. Alarming sent you and grab a gallon of milk for the family while your there - you won't believe the price!

They have bulk quantity of everything from eggs to French fries and they even have a deli counter. The building itself looks to be fairly new construction.

The farm is home for many animals, goat, pigs and you'll often find a few cats following you round as you explore. There's a gift shop on site, which you must stop in to see. They have lots of hand made items, from hats, gloves, to socks and so much more, most made with the fur of the alpacas. Also, They do have soaps and lotions that are made from the milk of the alpaca's, which is the most buttery soft lotions and luxurious soaps you'll ever use.
