For about $35 a ticket we were there for an all day experience started at 11 AM. We arrive later because it's Sunday and we like to sleep in. It was a very warm day with plenty of parking plenty of apples if you want to pick them pumpkin, squashes, preserves, apple cider donuts, and the list goes on and for those of you who like an alcoholic beverage, you could partake there were two places to get not just one. I personally enjoyed looking at all the animals chickens the goats pigs we love the pig races. They were cute little things smart too. The kid seem to be having a blast because there was a ton for them to do and we of course took part of the hayride, cause we're big kids. I didn't make it to the haunted mansion, but I did do the corn maze Which I think it's a lot more fun when you're a kid, but I did it. The chicken platter was OK. I do wish they had had some more salad options because I really can't eat a ton of this fried food but you know what what it's worth my float which was an apple cider float was delicious And the apple cider is as always superb It's a fun family activity not cheap but fun and you know what it's outdoor fun before the winter comes so why not read more

Four stars for being a one of the only steadfast local farm markets with baked goods, jams, local Honey, and produce. Not to be mistaken for a TRUE farm-to-market that sells primarily their own produce. For that you may need to go to Fishkill Farm. TIP: Focus on the baked goods in local Honey's. Read the labels to avoid more commercially produced jams. Very expensive and don't expect service with a smile. It's a great stop if you're on your way to meet up with friends or family and want to bring a hostess gift. read more

Barton Orchards - Apple cider donuts, cakes, for the staff and nurses at my mother's nursing home.January 11,2023. - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

FYI they charge and entrance fee of $30 per person for adults and $20 for children - including all holidays. Non holiday Monday- Friday are free admission. However, they have tons of exclusions and cost is not clearly advertised on website. After the admission fee than there is bag fee to pick apples starting at $22 a bag and going up from there. Each activity had tons of lines and food was expensive. The guest experience is subpar for the place especially for a comparable experience at other venues. The whole experience feels like a cash grab. This will cost a family of four a few hundred dollars for the day. read more

It's a beautiful farm that opens promptly. However, you can't bring any food into the farm but then they don't start selling food until 12:00-30. Then the kids place doesn't open until 12:00. They can do better for $20 a child $30 an adult. read more

What. A. Ripoff. $27 per person to get in?! THEN another $20 or $36 to pick apples? Used to come here every so often, not anymore. read more

Cost has gone up again. 2024 fall season : admission for 1 kid and 1 adult was $55! Spent another 20 on glorified hotdogs. Nobody likes polka. Don't charge for that. They did have more kids activities this year but still not quite worth the money. read more

Wonderful place to get pastries, breads, pies, cookies, BBQ sauce, jams. Staff was super friendly and helpful and we will definitely be back. We were hoping for more fresh fruit and veggies but that may just be a seasonal thing. read more

I used to like this place but now the place seems to be run by kids. Things don't taste fresh, especially on a Sunday morning. Don't know what happened but it's very expensive and absolutely nothing special. They are living off their old reputation but how long can that last. read more

The best apple cider doughnuts!!! I have never had another that comes close! My daughter also loves the apple dumplings.

Let me join my voice to those that are saying stay away! Completely unsafe in the pandemic. First, let's just ignore the $25 charge to enter. Bad enough they charge this and they cannot offer the haunted house this year. Let's just pass that by. No enforcing mask wearing. No reduction in numbers on site. When you buy the ticket, it is just to stagger your entry. They had more people there than I have ever seen in previous years. You are not allowed to bring in your own food or drink... not even water. Been like this for a few years, so ok, but... You wait in long, not socially distanced, lines for food and water. Toilet too. Or in the corn maze. Or waiting for anything. Essentially, this orchard is forcing you to stand next to people and is doing absolutely nothing to make it safe for you. If you wish to pay $25 for the chance to catch COVID waiting on line for crappy chicken fingers or hot cocoa from a packet... go for it! Otherwise, and in all seriousness, we were rather sad driving away today, because we will not be back. read more

Super expensive if you just want to pick apples and have code and donuts but tons of fun if you make a full day of it as there is lots to do! Corn maze was huge! read more

I cant say enough great things about Barton Orchards! Lots of space, fun to visit and interact with the animals and lots of great community events! I love the hot air balloon festival and the sun flower festivals! Food I've had there has been on point and I believe there is alcohol as well! read more

Gorgeous piece of land with incredible views. Dreadfully unorganized operation. I highly suggest having zero expectations for customer service. No one that works there knows what's going on. The lines take forever and unfortunately you can see into the kitchens and stores and bakeries as to how the behind the scenes are running and see that there's no one in charge and Zero sense of urgency. When eating at a picnic table, we heard nurseries other families complaining as well. There's not even signage as to where to push your trash and trays after you eat. We drove from the city and bought a ticket with a 4 hour window only to be told half way in that we could no longer pick apples because the orchards were closed. Well, maybe don't sell a ticket after the orchard is closed claiming that the orchards is closing! Lol I spoke to a supervisor who advised that this was communicated on the website, but it's no where to be found, nor on the ticket. Such a let down after driving 1.5 hours from city. I wouldn't suggest this orchard sadly, but think they have potential if they button up the operation! read more

Second time visiting this place, just to pay admission to stand on long lines for food and beverage, with not enough seating and little entertainment. Last time we went there for the air balloon festival, paid admission, waited for the balloons to go up, but they never did. Nobody told us the wind conditions were not good for the balloons to go up when we paid admission. Two stars for the donuts. read more

Baked goods are ok but what is really bad is the service! Location is close to home and I always like supporting local business but they really need to step up on how they treat people! Every time I go there I have to wait for someone to come to the register to check me out. Then I get treated like I was bothering them with no thank you or have a nice day or ANYTHING! In this day and age you would think a local business would support their local community with a kind word or something! Not much to ask for...I think anyway. Oh! And the 'extra charge' for using a card is INSULTING!!!! People need to stop this or more and more people...that I talk to anyway...won't be doing business with these businesses. read more

Definitely one of the best bakeries around always have great donuts and muffins they make everything fresh right on the premises always great service places always Immaculate clean and prices are definitely within my budget I recommend if anyone's looking for any pies good donuts any kind of bakery they actually make a lot of their own jars of apples and other sorts to definitely check them out read more

Awesome day spent here! Not sure why people would give this spot a bad review...it's fall at a farm. Of course there are crowds. Buy your ticket in advance and go early! Fun atmosphere, amazing doughnuts and great time picking . Can't wait to go again next year! read more

I had a great time doing their Tree Top Adventure Course. I felt it was well priced and I was safe doing it, even during covid. However, one of the workers was wearing a confederate flag belt buckle, and I really wish they would embrace a dress code that is non-political and/or anti-racist. I sent them a note afterward and gave them a chance to respond before reviewing. I can see that my message was read but I received no response. Unfortunately it's not actually a safe space for family friendly fun. read more

$27 to enter and you are force to wait long lines for food and water. Terrible experience but the donuts were good if you are willing to wait two hours on line. I repeat LONG LINES !!!!! You are paying to enter and wait long lines. Never again!!!! read more

Great place for kids to explore and have fun! This place has a really fresh veggies and yummy doughnuts... it has a petting area for kids and tractor rides and huge area where you can pick on your veggies and fruits... really had a great time and will comeback definitely! read more

How Barton's has anything less than a 5 star rating is mind blowing to me. They have the freshest, most well stocked bakery in town. To top it off they have Apple cider donuts all year, which are my absolute favorite! Barton also has the biggest pie selection I have ever seen. I actually like when they are out of the flavor I come in to get, because it forces me to try something new... This visit I came in for a peach pie (amazing!), but they were sold out. I then was recommended by staff to try the peach-berry pie (peaches, blue berries and strwberries). This may now be my new favorite! Everything is delicious here - trust me, you will not be disappointed! read more

Horrible..$30 charge to just walk in.. 3 hr wait on donut line.. would make sense to sell donuts in the other markets on premises since they are empty. Save your money read more

It's a waste of time Unorganized and not true to their words. 1st we schedule 4-6p But actually it's 1:45 mins. Not only that their staff is not courteous and not understanding their customers. They r a bit racist as well. I will never go there again. read more

Great place great staff friendly community or if they're six different seasons never had a issue with anyone or any customer for that matter people friendly, pet friendly, great place to visit for the family and fun festivites!! read more

The apple cider donuts here are ridiculous. Probably the best in the area and I've done my research and tried a lot of places. They are fresh and so tasty and at $8.00 for a dozen they are priced very fairly. Some of their other pastries have been good but it's been basically hit or miss on everything but the donuts. They do have a huge variety of baked goods so you can find something you like. Make sure you get a lot because they will go fast. 5 stars all the way. read more

This is the place I usually go to buy eggs. I'm not one of those people that eat " organic grass feed" only ( rolling my eyes hard) but I'm pretentious about eggs because I eat a lot of them and to be honest they are 40% of my diet. The rest of %60 is meat and cheese, I know...I'm a man. Anywhoo...this is a little cute place that sells local fruits and veggies and a bunch of pastries. I can't remember the credit card policy but they do accept it. The prices are normal, can't say if it is cheaper or more expensive than the usual grocery store. read more

The worst farm I have ever been! It's suppose to be a family place but they won't let you even bring in water for the kids. It would be nice if they had water available around the farm but you have to stand on a long line for Everything! The place is not even organized and it's only a money making business for them. We paid $15 per person to go inside for fall harvest but you have to pay for other activities too. Horrible place, never again! Save your money and go to many other free farms where is nice, clean and organized. read more

This place is amazing.. my sister always brings their cider donuts when she comes to visit and I love them so much.. they are moist with just the right amount of sweetness.. and they are not that sweet at all.. they are perfect. So naturally, when I went to visit my sister and passed by the shop I had to stop by and get donuts.. can't miss an opportunity like that! read more

Pie. The one word says it all. My daughter and I search for good pie everywhere we go. And Barton Orchards bakery has it. We live in Connecticut, but were in the area on a college visit to Vassar, and we stopped in. We took home two pies - cherry and apple. Absolutely delicious! Fresh tasting filling and flaky crust. We paid just under $30 for both. Best part of the trip. I was a little disappointed they didn't have peach (there was a "peachberry", but it sounded a bit to derivative for pie purists like us). Also disappointed that they don't seem to have a way for me to order more by mail 'cause I know I'll be needing more. read more

Its a waste of time and money. You pay for a scheduled time but can arrive at anytime. Sooo many people, it is the next pandemic cluster situation. An employee was upset that my son was eating his food in a "no drinking alcohol area" and when my son kept eating, he called State Troopers and told them a person was drinking alcohol. With todays climate, this is unacceptable and I was told by the manager that I would receive a phone call from HR by Tues 10/13...no call yet. Dave the manager apologized for his employees behavior as witness claims the employee was cursing and screaming at a paying customer. I suggested Dave should have his employees attend Customer Service training classes. I also suggested he fire his employee for calling police on a minor for such a minor incident that Dave could have taken care of himself. The whole incident was bogus because my minor was not drinking alcohol. There are laws on Karens calling police for nothing because of employees such as the ones working at Barton Orchard. read more

The one on Noxon Rd sells Apple cider donuts which are delicious if they are fresh baked. They sell them a day old. Totally disappointing.

I love this place. Always the freshest fruits and vegetables And always the most delicious baked goods. Friendly and helpful staff read more

This place sucks! Hope you like long lines like 30 minutes for a hotdog, 20 minutes for a drink. It's more like a dirty carnival than blissful country style apple picking. The guy at the hotdog stand looks like counting to 10 is a challenge every single time he has to make change. I hate this place, it ruined our awesome experience at other orchards. I curse this place. read more

Apple cider donuts are worth the hype - I walked in a skeptic but was converted. Glad I didn't bite into them until I was already in the car otherwise I would probably have bought more. read more

Absolutely NO social distancing going on at this place! It was horrible! Waited in line for 1hr and 45 mins for food and a drink. So disorganized! Why did I pay $28 for entrance fee and reserved a time when there was clearly NO capacity limit?! It's never been that busy before. It seemed like there were 10xs more people than ever before. Lines, lines and more lines! Ruined our annual tradition. Will be going elsewhere next time. read more

This place unfortunately has gone way downhill since Rose retired. I got a bunch of stale cookies and some moldy pastries. Thankfully a really great bakery opened recently in Pleasant Valley. read more

Be aware that they won't let you take water in here (in plastic or reusable) and have no free water sources on the grounds. Not a single water fountain. If you want to drink water, it's $2.70 a bottle. This water policy is new, so giving them some time to install fountains, but if they don't do so soon, and this is just a ploy to make more money, it's disgusting. read more

Delicious pies, donuts. Cakes. Apple crumb pie, apple cider donuts, lemon blueberry coffee cake are my favs. Even had banana cream pie for the holidays - deeelish. read more

We've been going here to pick apples for almost 15 years now, they've grown quite a bit since then, and they are a lot busier than before but it's still well worth the trip. They have A LOT of activities for kids. read more

Great views, huge orchard lots of activities. Can't enjoy anything because it is entirely too crowded and commercialized. As you go in there are people asking for donations. Once inside, lines for all types of food are at least 40 minutes long, and its only junk that is available now, it used to be good farm food. Plus, I don't like seeing dogs urinating all over the orchard including on apples that are on the ground. read more
