In the town of Catskill, NY is Story Farms- a tented area filled with an ok selection of produce+some plants with mostly fair prices.

My first strawberry and cherry picking experience! Bohringer's Fruit Farm is conveniently located…read moreclose to the Vroman's Nose hike. It's a nice outdoor socially distanced activity. The open fields are a welcome change from being indoors, and you can pick whatever fruits you like. The farm leaves quart containers out on a stand for you to pick up and use while picking fruit, and you just drive to the fields. Then you bring the containers to the register with what you picked. They offer a reasonable price for fresh fruit. It's fun, relaxing, and great for all ages.

Boehm Farm has been off the radar of people in the Capital Region for far too long. But I heard the…read moreplace had excellent apple cider donuts, and I had to check them out for myself. Wow. Okay, these were seriously good. When I showed up around 10:30 on a recent Saturday morning, the air smelled of freshly frying donuts. It's always a good sign. And while there were donuts on the counter, when I asked if I could get any hot donuts the clerk went into the back and pulled out some steaming hot specimens. That may not sound like such a big deal, but as we say in this part of the world, it's huge. Hot apple cider donuts are so much better than their room temperature version. Which isn't to say that just because a donut is hot, it will be good. I've had my share of hot and disappointing cider donuts too. The hot apple cider donuts at Boehm Farm were delightful. Perfect? No. But absolutely great. And if you're into exploring the farms and orchards in and around the Capital Region, it's definitely worth your time, as I would put this small, off the beaten path orchard, in the top third of the ones I've visited. Maybe even in the top quarter. More than anything, it makes me think. If Boehm Farm has been hiding in plain sight all these years, how many other excellent orchards remain to be discovered by those relatively recent arrivals to the region? Farms! We've got 'em. And you should visit and support as many of our regional growers as possible. Remember: no farms, no food. Plus, they are charming and magical places. Especially in the fall.

We found the prices all over the map, with some items being a great deal and some being a bit expensive - shop with care and you will be rewarded with great quality. The small-batch prepared frozen meals are excellent, the chicken pie was full of real food and the price was good. Not all of the cheeses are produced by small farms, but there is a large selection of those that are. We got lucky enough to make it to their "Customer Appreciation Day" and meet many of the food vendors. It was fun to put faces to the companies and farms - not all were Amish folks, some were outsiders who seemed to be treated with just as much respect. The store is welcoming and seems to have a good attitude. I was hesitant at first, but after a few visits I feel very comfortable shopping there.

I enjoyed an apple cider slushee while picking fresh apples during a sunny fall day. We had to purchase a half-bushel bag. Mother Nature at her best! I tasted several varieties of apples in the orchards: Empire, macoun, mac, golden delicious, red delicious, Fuji and gala. The empires and the golden delicious are the best- tasting out of the different varieties available here. Take a look at my photos-- so serene and worth the drive up here from NYC! In hindsight, I should have taken a wagon and apple picking stick with me, but I was so happy with the slushee and just walking around, I wasn't really thinking about picking the best apples. As for the goodies I bought: Excellent apple pie with a short-bread type crust and tart but sweet apples. Very delicious and fresh! Seneca Granny Smith apple chips-- never tried this variety- tart and crisp. Apple Pastry stick: I say don't bother with this one. It left a coating in my mouth of greasy weird shortening. I bake my own apple pies with real butter and I don't get this kind of coating with my own pies: Not sure what they use here but don't get this. All in all, a great bakery and orchard.
