Wow! I am so astonished with my experience here. I didn't try out the pick-your-own, but I will definitely take advantage of that during my next trip here. We started with a trip to the country store where they had a large array of freshly picked fruits and veggies. We ended up choosing a large container of blackberries and they were fantastic. As someone that is not normally a fan of the tart fruit, these were perfectly tart with a tinge of sweetness at the end. They also tasted as if they had just been picked, so I knew food from the restaurant would be a treat. We ended up choosing the fish and chips. SO UNBELIEVABLE! This was absolutely the best fish and chips I have ever tasted! The fish was perfectly crisped yet warm and flaky on the inside. The fries were also crispy and delicious. The goats outside were also such a treat to see. I haven't left a place in so long with such a large smile, can't wait to return again!
Came here after my camping trip in Catskills and I was excited to do the pick-your-own! They did not charge entrance fees, only what you picked! This was a pretty big farm! At the time, I picked blackberries and apples! I caught the early-end of blackberries so not much to pick for my carton. However; the apples were delicious! Super sweet and abundant at the farm. They also have fresh apple cider donuts! One of the best we've had! There is also cute farm where there are goats on site. Great family-friendly farm to visit!
Decent farm and pick your own apples site. I guess we came late in the season because there wasn't a great selection of apples left. We had lunch at the cafe and the chicken sandwich was ok--bit heavy on the mayo. Burger with egg was fantastic. Great area to sit with interesting metal art sculptures. Apple cider donuts were good. The sweet dill pickles were AWFUL. I think they were a vendor item but I ate one and tossed the rest. It would be nice if they offered samples as I love to support local but hate to waste my money.
Leaf peeping and farm visits are already a popular Fall activity in normal times, but because it's outdoors and easy to socially distance at, every farm around the Northeast worth its salt has been mobbed out weekend after weekend this year. Did Fall even happen if you didn't see a panoply of apple picking photos clogging up your social media feed? I wanted to avoid everything that crowds come with, like long lines and picked over orchards, so I chose this farm that was much farther than dozens of other farms I could've chosen closer to NYC, much to my designated driver's dismay. The owner of this farm also publicly declared his support for climate action, racial equity and a woman's right to choose which totally sealed the deal for me as a place I'd want to spend my dollars. I always want to consider whether a place is inclusive when I leave my liberal enclave, so this was really quite reassuring. Upon arrival I was happy to see a lack of crowds, and a huge pumpkin patch still full of gourds ripe for picking. I've never picked a pumpkin off a vine before, and as a city girl I enjoyed the novelty of this very hands on experience. Most farms I've been to are much more commercialized and have the pumpkins all picked out for you, which isn't a bad thing, but picking them off the vine definitely cost less. I was also pleasantly surprised by the kitchen at the farm. The fish and chips had perfectly battered and fresh fish as well as amazing fries, and the cider doughnuts were so terrific that each person in our group bought half a dozen of these to enjoy for themselves. The eatery had a wide selection of hard ciders aged in oak barrels, which was an amazing Fall drink to enjoy on this farm while we watched goats frolic about next to the picnic tables.
We love Grieg's Farm. It's a pick-your-own fruit and vegetables farm. They don't spray pesticide so that makes their produce organic. We've been here for the blackberry and strawberry pickings. Amble parking, clear signs to where the different fruit/veggie are. The kids always have a great time. Their price per pound is also very reasonable, so we always come here to stock up and freeze them for winter. Just right down the road, they have a farm market with lots of local produce as well as fresh made apple cider donuts. They also offer meals that are very tasty. We got trio sliders (pulled pork, brisket, and crab cake), soft shell crab sandwich with fries (bonus, it's rosemary and herb fries which were ta bomb!), and Mac n cheese for the kiddos. Everything was so delicious! Eating the meal outside in their outside seating area is great. For a quarter, you can get a handful of farm feeds to get close to your fav chicken or goats! They also opened the Abandoned Cider cidery last year, the ciders were just ok, but still a great plus to the overall amazing farm!
I cannot tell you how difficult it is to find a farm with an apple orchard that isn't crowded and packs as much value as Grieg Farm. I went in mid September with a few friends (+ dog) on a beautiful warm day, and it was so lovely to only have a couple other groups there. There's plenty of apple tree lanes near the parking lot with quite a few varieties depending on the time of the season. On the other side of the farm layed the pumpkins, most on the vine so I got the opportunity to pick straight from the source! Another pro with Grieg Farm is that there isn't a ridiculous admission fee and requirement of apples picked (admission is free); you pay for what you pick on the way out -- oh and they take card (!!). I got about 10 apples and a pumpkin and only paid ~$13, which is a steal. Once you exit the field, you drive a little bit to get to the Grieg Farm market where the goats, cider, and brisket awaits. I believe the BBQ brisket is a separate local business with a cute food trailer and picnic tables on a hill overlooking the fields. The cider was really affordable and pretty decent. Near the cider is a bunch of goats, and you can feed them for a quarter in the pellet machine. The market was a bit disappointing -- I imagined a lot of homemade goods (think maple butter, fudge, jam..) sold by the farm, but most items were commercially sold. They do sell apple cider donuts (both sugar coated and plain)! I looked forward to trying them and got half a dozen each, but was a bit disappointed -- it was decent though greasy, and the crispness to fluffy interior ratio was not quite there. I would definitely come again though!

This farm was great- we drove in and they give you buckets as you enter. They told us we could pick anywhere so we found a quiet spot and filled 2 buckets full of sweet, plump blueberries. Once you have all the fruit you're going to pick, you drive back to the entrance where they weigh all the blueberries (or what you've picked) and ring you out. They have a credit card machine which I was thankful for because we only had so much cash. Blueberries were about four dollars a pound. Great bargain, great farm, great service! Will definitely be back! read more

If you're looking for an authentic spot to pick great fruit, this is it! There's no gimmicks, what you see is what you get and I love that. There's no admission fee, it was $4 a pound and you could pick as many strawberries as you wanted. You pull in and are greeted by super sweet staff members who give you a little intro, and hand you a cardboard box to put the berries in. U can also ask for the small crates. The fields never end haha which is a good thing! We took our three year old daughter, and she couldn't get enough. We picked for an hour, every bush was filled with berries to pick, there's a lot of ground to cover and we didn't get anywhere near the end of it. Only advice, obviously it's hot so go early if you can, and if you're looking for the farm with props, rides, or other kid attractions this isn't it. Our daughter didn't miss any of that it was just perfect. Also about a quarter mile down the road they have a great market/goat farm/farmers market and an area with very unique items-jewelry, pottery, decor etc. we also grabbed a quick bite to when we got there, duck eggs, sausage and cheese on toasted bread with a side of homefries. so delicious! There's a great menu with lots of options, and a large inside seating area next to the market. We aren't local, but we will be back next month for more picking! So with the trip. read more

Great pick your own for apples, although not the most inexpensive. They have a huge swath of land that you can drive across and the rows of apples are pretty well marked. You pay by the weight. They usually have other fruits throughout the season - check out their website for more information on what is in season. read more

What a sweet farm! Located in upper redhook this farm has a cafe and a farmers market! The cafe is open from 9-5 daily and there you can find neat local goods. The market is open every Saturday year round from 10-3 (where you can find delicious fresh fish & hear live music). Attached to the market is an art gallery! The gallery is new and is open every Saturday and Sunday from 10-3! In the summer you can pick your own fruits (or buy it already picked), and Papa's best batch sets up a spot next to the market. There are also goats behind the market that the kids love. This farm has a lot going on and I definitely recommend checking it out! read more
