They'll give you a 10lbs bucket (if you fill it, it should be about 10lbs) and a picker. They have so many varieties of apples you can just roam and pick all you want. There's a horse stable adjacent to the orchard and they were super friendly me & kids with me. One actually followed me around and wanted to be carressed The whole property is not very large but it's perfect for a family picking There are many kinds you can pick according to the season you visit. I think their Golden Delicious is better than anyone else's! I never liked it till I had theirs. They weren't open last year due to flood and I was heartbroken but I'm happy that they reopened for business this year!! They also sell variety of honey and you can taste the different ones. The kids got to play a scavenger hunt for a gigantic spider on one of the trees for a honeystick. How fun I just love this little orchard and so happy I found it!!

However, their limited supply of ARKANSAS BLACK APPLES and STAYMAN WINESAPS in my opinion are the most delicious apples you can ever eat. They're also used to make apple cider.

We were hoping that there would be some visitors at the farm already so we won't get pressured to buy something from the gift shop as we'd be the only ones there.

Visiting this alpaca farm was so much fun!! Last month, we came here just a day after we attended…read morethe Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. The owners of this alpaca farm are so genuinely nice and courteous! And they gave us a wonderful and insightful tour about the alpacas, and about how the alpaca wool is used to make socks, scarves, gloves, hats, other kinds of clothing, and handbags! The tour of the alpaca farm is free. And at the end of the tour, the owners take you to their gift shop, where you buy items made of alpaca wool. When we visited, there was one alpaca who was pregnant. We found out after our trip to New Mexico that the alpaca baby was born after we had visited the farm. I highly recommend visiting this farm if you happen to be in this area of New Mexico! It will be well worth it as part of your trip to the Southwest!

I LOVE the Schwebach Farm. Cute little store with a bunch of yummy goodness inside…read more During my last visit I bought some beautiful green chiles, some good smelling bath products, potatoes, and whole case of fresh peaches. Of course, I had to eat one of the beautiful peaches before I worked up the rest of them for the freezer. The people that own the farm are very kind and welcoming. They work hard every year to put food on our tables and they do it with the best attitude around. The farm has experienced some issues in the last many years so it's unclear if the farm will be back next year. I TRULY HOPE SO! I suggest you head over to their website and sign up for their newsletter so you can stay informed. They will email you when they have different types of produce available and you can keep up-to-date about what's going on with the farm. The drive out to Moriarty is beautiful and refreshing. I highly recommend this local family farm. Please get out there and support our local businesses owners!

I had been waiting years for the Farm to Table Dinner to return since pre-covid times. Based on…read morewhat I've seen, I like the politics and values of this family and the way they run their farm. Everything we ate was fresh from the field. When we took a tour of the farm, we got a chance to try the sweet corn right from the field (they do this on field trips to the farm as well). That's just some of the things the Schwebach's are known for- their beans and their corn. It was an amazing night of food (compliments to Chef Daniel of Roots Farm Cafe), music, and meeting new people. I can't wait to do it again in the future- the price was definitely worth it to support something local, or even just to visit the farm store (which I had planned on coming early to the dinner to visit, but had closed early for the day to an emergency). 2022 #46

Our ceremony was in the shade of the cottonwood trees, cocktail hour was in a shaded garden, and our reception was in the gorgeous updated big red barn (with AC and twinkle lights!). The event coordination team, Mikaela and Ethan Dunn ("Us The Dunns"), were incredible, and made our special day worry free for us. We worked with them to arrange our set up, decor rental, clean up, bartending, and day-of coordination. They are true professionals and elevated our day and experience in every way. And Bike in Coffee/Old Town Farm was the perfect place to share with our friends and family as we celebrated!

I was in town from Denver visiting for my nephew's graduation. We had reservations for a Friday…read moreevening. When we walked onto the patio and took in those sweeping views of the Sandias, I was ready to love this place. Los Poblanos has all the ingredients of a truly special dining experience: a gorgeous setting, a thoughtful farm-to-table ethos, and a menu that promises something above the ordinary. Which is exactly why the evening's annoying missteps were so disappointing. Service was well intentioned but unpolished. Our waiter seemed overwhelmed and, at times, unfamiliar with the menu -- a problem when guests are asking genuine questions about the food and wine. We ordered bread which came before our drinks were served. Wine service was inconsistent. I ordered an Albariño by the glass - 6 oz. My sister ordered the Cabernet listed on the menu as a recommended pairing for her entrée, priced at $11. After we placed our drink orders, the waiter returned to inform her that the menu price was incorrect -- the wine was actually $18. She agreed to proceed. He then asked whether she wanted "a half glass or a full glass," which is an oddly imprecise question at a restaurant whose menu specifies pours in 3, 6, and 9 oz increments. She said half glass. What arrived was 3 oz of wine in a small serving carafe, which the waiter simply poured into her glass -- no bottle presented, no taste offered. My own Albariño, by contrast, was brought to the table in the bottle with a proper taste before pouring. The disparity in service between the two of us was striking. A simple, clear statement -- "3 oz of this wine is $18, not $11; would you still like it?" -- would have resolved everything cleanly. Instead, the vague "half or full glass" framing left my sister without the information she needed to make an informed choice. For what it's worth, the wine itself was extraordinarily tannic -- borderline undrinkable -- and I would have sent it back. My nephew ordered a top shelf whiskey. The waiter told him "we don't have that". My nephew said "it's on your menu" to which the waiter responded "oh, let me check on that". There seemed to be too many instances of the waiter running back to the bar to check on stuff. Anyway, it was available. The waiter apologized. We ordered the bread which was served before our drinks arrived. Food took about an hour which is fine - I don't have an issue with that but during that time we never saw the waiter again. I ordered the soup of the day - potato and leek which was delicious. Followed by the blackberry salad, which was my main course. Both arrived simultaneously, with the salad placed in front of me and the soup set to the side as an afterthought. At a restaurant at this price point, the expectation that soup precedes salad is not an eccentricity -- it is simply correct service. When I expressed my surprise, the servers seemed genuinely puzzled, which suggests this may be a training gap rather than an isolated incident. As for the salad itself -- it was pleasant, but pleasant is not enough here. The blackberry salad was the kind of thing you might enjoy at a well-run casual chain: competently assembled, inoffensive, and forgettable. At a farm-to-table restaurant with access to exceptional local ingredients, I expect the plate to reflect that -- more intentional presentation, more layered flavors, something that is more elevated than what was presented. This one didn't. The gap between the setting and what landed on the table was wider than it should have been. My sister and nephews ordered the filet mignon and rib eye. Both arrived pre-sliced -- a presentation trend that has made its way into fine dining, though one that divides opinion. My concern, beyond personal preference, is practical: sliced meat loses heat faster, and at roughly $80 per entrée, guests should receive their steak in the condition that best showcases it. The quality was good, not exceptional. Los Poblanos is a restaurant with genuine promise and a setting that few can match. The concept is right; the execution needs work. The issues I encountered -- inconsistent wine service, course sequencing, and a discombobulated waiter-- are not kitchen problems. They are fixable. I hope the restaurant takes that seriously, because the bones here are excellent and the experience should be too.
