They do sell apples (and much more) in the store. I tried the Margherita pizza, 3 mushroom white, and sausage special (housemade bratwurst). Pizzas were excellent. Brat was tasty but pretty small portion for the price (one link cut in half and some cornbread). Also got some of the cider doughnuts, which were good, but wish they were hot. You can get hot ones a few miles away at Jenkins-Lucien. Fresh cider was amazing!

This place is beautiful on a perfect-weather day, which we were fortunate to experience! It wasn't…read moretoo hot, and there was a wonderful mix of sunshine and shade. The apple orchard, the lake, and the delicious food made for an ideal setting. Plus, the ciders were delightful. We ordered a mushroom pizza and a veggie burger, both of which were excellent. The service was quick, and the staff was very friendly. Kids were running and playing, and many people had their dogs with them. It felt like a picnic in the orchard. The relaxed atmosphere enhanced the taste of the food and the overall experience.

I had the great pleasure of tasting their ciders at the New York State Fair the other day. I was so…read morehappy to try some samples and fell in love with the Jasmine Apple Cider. The people who were representing Brooklyn Cider House were so knowledgeable and friendly. I hope to get there to visit soon and will definitely be looking for a beverage store locally so I can buy some. I enjoyed the cider so much and actually bought a can around 9;30 am and walked around with it all day to take home!

Last year, they had the BEST warm apple cider donuts - and their hot apple cider was the real deal, not that watered-down stuff you get everywhere else. It was the perfect combo for a chilly autumn day. I was really looking forward to making Dressells Farm a regular weekday stop this fall for that specific treat, but it's a shame they only offer it on weekends. Hopefully, they'll consider offering the hot cider and fresh donuts every day next year so more people can enjoy them!

I can only review donuts here because I didn't buy anything else. I ordered a dozen donuts and I…read morenoticed there were plenty of donuts in the bakery that were freshly made. The kid said some were a little small so I gave you a few extra. I should've checked the box before I left because I would've preferred a dozen regular donuts not what I got. I think they were trying to get rid of another kids practice donuts? Odd for $15. Not much flavor, tasted more like old oil than cider and they didn't taste fresh. So many other farms nearby so I'll try others next trip. They're just not as good as other local farms donuts. Ambiance was nice, a decent stop for kids but cider way too expensive so I skipped it.

Perfect apple cider donuts, yummy chocolate pumpkin bread, and superbly made apple turnovers with super flaky, tasty crusts... we even prefer those to their apple pies.

A nice chunk of my 22 years living in White Plains, was spent buying produce for juicing and…read morecooking at my fave market in Hartsdale. Now that we're living in The Catskills, my quest to find that similar market prototype I grew to love in Westchester, continues. I had forgotten hubs and I came here before during one of our bi-annual trips to The Catskills. Recently though, when I searched for produce markets near work in Highland, Wallkill View in New Paltz popped up within a short driving distance. As you drive past all of New Paltz bustling shops and restaurants on Main St, you'll soon approach a sleepy farmland area overlooking Mohonk Preserve in about 5 or so minutes. I've been hard-pressed to find a market that tops my favorite one in Westchester and checks all the boxes. Wallkill View grows and sells a nice mix of produce the area has to offer. And when veggies and fruit aren't grown on-site or in season, they're sourced from elsewhere. Unlike other farm markets that operate only Sat+Sun, Wallkill V. is open everyday. Well...almost. These folks shut down for Christmas and throughout the winter- reopening in March. Prices are about $1 more than what I paid down in White Plains- but hey... I get it. Service is great though.

One of the best pick your own apple farms I've been to. Everything was so organized and it wasn't…read moretoo crowded. The parking lot overflows into the hs parking lot but there's someone directing traffic. They've got portable toilets which were actually clean. They had two food trucks which had an assortment of flatbreads, hotdogs, and fries. Bad seed had a table serving up their own cider and some local cider. The pricing was affordable with a pint for $6. The docs Pumpkin cider was so good. The apple picking was further in and there was signage directing you to the area. They have 3 different sized bags ranging from $25-$42. We opted for the middle size $35 to fill 20-24lbs of apples. The $42 tote was for the same amount of apples but you paid extra money for the tote. If you brought the tote back to reuse you get $1 off next time. They offer these tools to pick the apples that are high up in the trees for $5. They gave us a map and was told there were tractor stops throughout. If our bags got too heavy we can leave it there and they will transport it back for us. Each bag had a ticket stub so we keep one and can pick it up after. This was the first time I saw something like this done for apple picking. We started all the way in the back and they had a ton of apples. The hike up was very steep though but the views were amazing. The shop sold Apple cider donuts which were freshly made. They also sold an assortment of apple cider with the different apple varieties. The honey crisp apple cider was my fav.

Great spot for apple picking. The small bag was a little expensive but a decent size. We got Fujis,…read moreCameos, JonaGold and Wine Saps. They're all delicious! Crisp and sweet, the Winesaps had a little tartness but still great. We picked up some goards and little pumpkins too. They're priced pretty well and have a good variety. The best pumpkins are picked in the patch, for $2 each. We got some heirloom tomatoes and some cider donuts to take home. The donuts need to be heated up for 20 seconds in the microwave, but they're very good. Why they didn't get 5-stars: The labels could use some work around the orchard. I always find it frustrating when orchards don't label the paths. They give you a map, but it's not very accurate.

So much fun at the Wassail Balkan Dance Party! Even though it rained and there was plenty of mud…read moreeverywhere, there was a lot of dancing and a lot of eating. I wish they had compost and recycling available, nevertheless what a fun day and night. Their apple ciders are delicious and worth stopping by to get some to take home. It was truly a lovely experience which I hope to do again.

The employees told us they were new, and could not tell us where particular fruit was located in the orchard (various types of apples, asian pears). The pricing was explained, and we went and picked. When we came back, the pricing was different (more) and although we asked for an explanation of the difference, we were just told we owed the higher price. Some baked goods (large cookies) were available to purchase as singles, but the donuts only came as a dozen (no singles or half-dozen available). The experience would have been improved by a map of where the fruit varieties were located (and/or signs in the orchard itself), ability to purchase some baked goods in smaller quantities, and a better understanding/explanation of pricing. We have been to several pick-your-owns in Ulster County, and most if not all of the others provide clear pricing, directions to what is available to pick, and the ability to select a single donut or cookie, and half dozen, or a dozen to purchase.

Just another example of the fine things one can get themselves into through reading Lydia L's reviews! Because this was a fine market to visit on a fine October day. Although we've consumed lots (LOTS) of wine, we've never tried mead and with Lydia's review to back us up, we tried some and bought some too. (Which would be enjoyed later on in the day with cheese from Dancing Ewe and seckel pears from Migliorelli's, both of the Rhinebeck Market.) Don't pass up the chewy, delightful pretzel rolls! We bought several to give to our friends in NJ and they were a BIG hit. (Seasonal cranberry / apple and also sea salt. Also found at the New Paltz market.) There were fewer farmers at this market on this October Sunday but the produce vendors there had top quality items. And the friendly woman at the info booth at the end of the market was offering samples of home baked apple crisp as well as tastings of local applies. More to love about the Rosendale Market...ample parking. Yahoo! Were we HRV residents it would be a regular stop for us.
