This farmers market started a couple of years ago and the number of vendors just keeps going up!…read more They have multiple vendors of produce (vegetables, herbs, fruits), plus specialty vendors that sell things like vegan scones, bundt cakes (!) goat cheese and milk, pickles and sourdough bread. The market features live music by local musicians each week. It has a free weekly kids program and accepts SNAP. It is across the street from the Poughkeepsie Train Station and next door to the elevator to the Walkway Over the Hudson, which makes it very accessible by foot.

Love this market! It's been growing steadily over the past few years It's covered, which means…read moreit's usually open rain or shine and in the heat, it can really be a sweet relief. They have live music too. Attracting more vendors, especially with local products like bread, maple syrup, coffee, baked goods, cheeses and goat milk, homemade soap, microgreens as well as several fresh produe vendors - even organic - and someone who sells farm fresh eggs and chicken! Prices are very reasonable as well. This year there are a few food vendors and trucks - jerk chicken and Mole Mole with mexican food - though they are here sometimes and missing other Mondays. There are picnic tables in the market to hang out or eat too. Parking is tight and sparse - the Children's Museum allows free use of their lot, but parking at Waryas Park is also an option if you don't mind a short walk. And the train station is also within walking distance. There is a walkway along the river that connects both Waryas and Upper Landing Park, so it's a great place for a walk or spending time sitting on a bench near the river on a nice day. You can even take the elevator up to the Walkway over the Hudson. Please come here and support your local vendors and farmers!

SPRING BOX TIME at the farm! Not only is it wonderful to have fresh kale, Rob, spring greens, and…read morethe last of the winter tunnel, spinach, but just having the word spring in my life after a less than stellar winter is uplifting. Poughkeepsie Farm Project is conducting it outreach this weekend and next to attract new membership. It was wonderful to meet some of the new people who are considering joining the farm as a CSA member. It's an investment to be sure. You do need to pay for your shares upfront so that the farmers know how much to plant and can budget accordingly. That being said, they do accept credit card payments and even EBT/SNAP through their website ordering system. It's fun to pick up my share because one never knows what's been picked - it's a surprise every week. There's just one more pick up before we go dormant until late spring/June. I'm preparing and storing as much as I can to hold me over because I know where the food has been grown and I know it's chemical free. If you are in the region of the Hudson Valley/Poughkeepsie town, consider joining. With the price of produce and the supply chain glitches ( don't get me started on why), being assured that you will have fresh produce, fruit, mushrooms, eggs, yogurt, and cheese from a nearby local farm lends a piece of mind

It is a wonderful way to get out and do something active and meet community minded people. Wonderful for kids to connect with the foods the summer harvest is impressive and delicious. More and more young families in the area. What a lovely program!

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

For about $35 a ticket we were there for an all day experience started at 11 AM. We arrive later…read morebecause 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

Four stars for being a one of the only steadfast local farm markets with baked goods, jams, local…read moreHoney, 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.

You go here primarily to pick cherries, peaches, and apricots. The farm is quite expensive with…read moregood views of a river. We picked a good amount of cherries and apricots and got it for around $7. It was overall a fun experience and we got to ride in a tractor. The staff provided really friendly service and it was overall a solid experience. In addition to the fruit picking, you can buy pre picked fruit or foods like donuts, snacks, and drinks like apple brandy and lemonade.
