Healthy Delicious Apple trees for picking!
Chris A.

On the best apple-picking farms I ever ventured too! The orchards have so many healthy delicious looking apples to pick! So man varieties . You will receive a map to help find the area of each different type of apple with a description of taste. I attended a birthday party here and this was such a great experience. It was located in a barn right near some great little play houses for the children. I also loved the tractor ride - so much fun! ALL the employee were so friendly and helpful! If you are looking for a wonderful family experience - take a ride and enjoy the awesome atmosphere.

Gala Apples

There are several orchards closer to where we live in Queens, but this place is worth the drive. If you can go during the week about the time they open, you'll pretty much have the place to yourself. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. We always look forward to Lawrence every September! Special thank you to the friendly staff, especially the gentleman cashier who wisely convinced me to get the apple cider donuts. See you next year!

If you plan to do more than apple picking You need to go EARLY (like when they open) or LATE (like later in the afternoon). If you go anytime after 1PM, you are asking for waiting in crazy long lines. The Good: Entrance with parking is only $5. Also! 1. The best-tasting apples of any apple picking I have ever experienced. Maybe it is old-growth trees (they have thicker trunks than I am used to) or just simply amazing land management, but wow = simply delicious apples. I normally don't buy bags of apples or pumpkins but to taste and purchase 1 or 2 is good enough for me, no need for the extra I'm mostly there for the experience, pictures and most of all for my friends kids who actually love all that stuff. 2. That they actually have awesome festivals + other activities (corn maze) 3. Apple cider doughnuts, homemade honey warm and yummy 4. There is actual space to sprawl out in the era of COVID 5. They really got their parking operations down Why this didn't get 5 stars 1. Seriously - signs and directions would be really helpful (maybe more signs on exactly which trees have what apples would be great too) Overall this is: 1. Great for people who follow directions 2. Terrible for people who struggle with directions 3. Great for people who can wake up early to drive here 4. Who likes hard cider 5. Bunch of random friends trying to really appreciate fall and apples 6. People who like to watch horses and such

I came here one weekend in October (post Covid) with my family & we really enjoyed ourselves. There is a entry fee which is $5, which I had no problem with. If you want to use a wagon it's $10 but upon returning you get back $5, so it's really $5. They have food such as pizza, paninis, fries, donuts (the cinnamon apple cider donut is a must try) hot dogs & a few other things. I really wanted to try their frozen apple cider, but unfortunately the machine wasn't working. My family & I also purchased a half gallon of apple cider & that was good too. The farm is huge with a variety of apples & veggies. They had apples I didn't even know existed! I was really happy to see their veggie selection which included kale, swiss chard, spinach, broccoli, mustard greens & peppers to name a few. There were signs at the front of the trail way & staff that can assist, so you know what direction things are which was helpful because the map was a little confusing & also didn't have where the peppers were located, but the young lady who gave us a map, marked it on ours, when I inquired about it. I have co-workers who went apple picking & mentioned there was barely any apples, but that wasn't the situation with Lawerence Orchard. Overall my family & I had a good experience & if we go apple picking in the future, it would more than likely be here. My sister went apple picking at another location prior & didn't have a good experience, so I'm happy we all were able to enjoy it here. The staff was also following Covid guidelines & there were signs saying "you have to wear a mask" as well as there was hand sanitizer available at stations throughout the farm.

When my friend suggested going strawberry picking, I'm game. It's 73 miles -- that's kind of far. Let's enjoy a day away from the city. Notes: 1) There is an admission fee of $3/person in the car. Example 2 people = $6. 2) The cardboard baskets to hold the fruit cost $1/each. If you bring the cardboard basket back, you save $0.50. Might want to bring saran wrap to protect the cardboard since the juices of the fruit will damage the basket. 3) Absolutely no pets allowed -- see signs though there are 3 dogs that belong to the farm. My friend called the location and they answered all her questions and were friendly. They open 9AM-4PM daily. You can't missed the big sign when you head to the farm. Drive up to the booth where the employee collect the $3/person admission (under 2 is free) fee and inquires if you have any pets. If you are nearby, you might consider getting the season pass. There are guides to direct you where to park. Afterwards, you head to the farmhouse. This past weekend, strawberries ($5.99/lb) are in season and still might be good this weekend. Check with the staff where the best location to pick strawberries. We are advised to go to field 3. The strawberries are small when you walk to the strawberry patch. Keep going. When you get to the middle, you will be rewarded for your efforts. There is a range of different strawberry sizes - large, medium, small - and different colors - unriped (whitish-green) to fully ripen (dark purple). You might want to bring a light jacket, hat or sunscreen, which I forgot all of it since you are outside. It was fun picking strawberries though keep in mind you will be kneeling. Find the right strawberries take time and don't forget to cut your nails so you don't stab the fragile skin of the strawberries. Snap Peas, spinach, lettuce and other produce are $3.99/lb and available for picking. If you get hungry, don't forget to check out their kitchen. You order in 1 window, food comes out at a second window. Listen to your order #. Strawberry shortcake was so good fresh strawberries and whipped cream what what do you need. Pizza was really good too - plain pizza. The pies and donuts look good. There is also ice cream, shake, sundae and nuts. Don't forget to your jars of fresh fruits spread (good for 2 years in a cool and dry location; refrigerate after opening which is good for 6 months), preserves, fruit butter, and jams! Cherry picking is highly recommended this weekend!

sunflower picking day! so pretty!
Rita L.

Cool place to check out on the weekend (or weekday if you have the time). $5 admission per person, free for kids under 2. Try some frozen apple cider while you're here! Pretty refreshing :) sunflowers are pretty if you want to pick some to go, get as many as you can fit in a vase for $10! Great option for a mini day trip if you like to pick your own fruits! They also have some vegetables like tomatoes, beans, peppers and broccoli. Might take some time to find ripe ones but still pretty fun :)

Very nice atmosphere at this farm close to Mohonk resort and Lake Minnewaska. The New Paltz area is really a hidden treasure as is a lot of upstate NY with its clean environment and nature. I was surprised to see the mixed reviews of Lawrence farms. Having picked apples and pears and pumpkins at (almost) too many farms to count since my son was born, this place was by far the best. It's got it all. Reasonable prices - $2.00 a pound for any variety apples you pick or $30 to fill a big bag. Ample supply of quality apples including fuji and honey crisp. Some of the other farms I've been to we picked apples just for fun. The actual apples were of the let's give them away at work variety. The apples here at Lawrence farms orchards are delicious. Probably better than I could get at any Trader Joe's or "new crop" apples at costco. In addition to the delicious apples there was a lot of other fun stuff at Lawrence farms - pumpkin picking with a nice hill to run up and overlook the area, and an animal feeding area. Definitely a lot of places to take nice pictures here.

Feeding the goats
Marissa S.

I'm baffled by the low yelp rating. I LOVE this place and have twice driven an ho ur to get there. It is HUGE, with so many different varieties of fruits and vegetables. I went in July, and November 2, and they had so much to choose from both times. The fruits and vegetables have been delicious. It is great for kids -- They have an area to buy food for a quarter to feed ducks and goats. My daughter loved it. They also have a little village of many little Woden buildings for kids to play in. They also have two huge dogs that my daughter loved. They have a shop with treats to buy, like apple cider donuts, and a picnic area to eat outside the shop. The grounds are beautiful - you can see nature for miles all around. I wouldn't rate the food five stars, but would five stars for everything else.

What a great place! We picked delicious peaches and Asian pears though it was too early (mid August) in the season for anything other than tart apples. Admission is $5/pp including for children. We could have used clearer directions we realized as the map was confusing and we walked around lost for a bit. We had a tasty lunch on their back patio with gorgeous views of the rolling hills. The kids enjoyed feeding the goats and ducks. All in all a splendid few hours outdoors.

Apple Cider donuts!! So good
Selena Y.

Best PYO farm I've been to!! I had little expectations before coming here and was surprised to see how expansive the orchards were. Not only were there 20+ different types of apples here, but there were also grapes, raspberries, cabbage, kale, brussel sprouts, tomatoes, sweet peppers, corn, bok choy, napa, and more. On top of that, the farm area sells different types of produce and items, and they have the most delicious donuts and apple cider...totally irresistible. Everything in season (and their respective prices) are written on the chalkboard outside the farm. The cost of PYO produce definitely adds up, but for how fresh the fruits/vegetables are, it's so worth it! Plus, I got to harvest my own humongous cabbage straight from the soil. How many people can say they've harvested a cabbage before? I was initially worried that there wouldn't be any good apples left in early October, but there were so many that were unpicked and in perfect shape. My group's favorites were the Acey Mac and Fuji apples for snacking, but there were also a lot of tarter apples that would be great for baking. My friends and I had an awesome autumn day here, coupled with a trip to Storm King afterwards. Definitely stop by if you're in the area!

Even their own website indicated as well there will be availability
Wai Yan N.

Didn't have the greatest impression for this grape picking experience from this orchard. First, we messaged the orchard on Friday, 09.11.20 asking if grape picking was available for Sunday, 09.13.20 and they replied yes. In addition, we even checked the site as well and it indicated yes as well. Upon our arrival Sunday morning at 10am, we noticed the board indicated grape picking very few available. We then asked why, the staff working there indicated that there was a deep freeze March/May, which killed half the crops. If this was the case, they could have been honest in the message sent indicating very few available for grape picking. We drove two hours to have just one handful after searching over an hour. Such a waste of time. Dishonesty by the company to get business!!!

I visited in early fall (first week of October) on a Saturday and the farm was packed! They have a…read moregood system for parking, pretty well organized over all, and this is key. Upon arrival each person pays a $10 cover charge that you receive a ticket for use in the country store in the amount of $10, so technically you get your money back as long as you buy something. Honestly the visiting experience was only okay, I am not sure I'd go back or recommend it BUT this is tempered by the fact that I did buy the biggest, prettiest mum and I may go back again for another one next year. I definitely have the nicest mum in all of Jersey City. I think it was around $20 for my huge mum and I was going to buy some apple cider donuts, but when I saw they were charging $18 for 12 donuts I put the package back on the shelf.

Food/drinks: Margarita pizza was okay and $$$ but the apple cider and apple cider donuts were SO…read moreGOOD. Honestly best apple cider donuts I've ever had + freshly baked , not stale at all and very soft and fluffy (but you have to buy it in a dozen, you can't buy individual) Lots of apples to choose from ~5-8 kinds from evercrisp to snapdragon to gold rush. Gold rush & pink lady were my favorite. Atmosphere: Loved for fall! There's was live music, plenty of apples and pumpkins to pick from, plenty of benches and seating indoors and outdoors for eating, and areas for children to play Dogs allowed! Service: friendly everywhere!! Price: cheap for entry, food is $$. You have to pay a $10 fee but it goes towards anything you buy. For apple cider & cider donuts I would say worth the price. Apple picking is charged by the pound
