The food is fresh and simply tastes better than your usual city grocery store offering. The animals are well cared for and when you walk the grounds you can tell the farm is organized and properly run. My son had a blast watching the sheep grazing on the hill, the flock of geese marching around with the lead goose barking orders, the cute farm dog (boxer) and the hen house complete with a rooster crowing and guarding his peeps! The market has tons of different types of meats so bring a cooler and load up! The grounds are extensive so we didn't get to see the other animals. Meat wise you can taste the difference and although it's pricey you get what you pay for! Awesome stop if your in the area.

Boehm Farm has been off the radar of people in the Capital Region for far too long. But I heard the…read moreplace had excellent apple cider donuts, and I had to check them out for myself. Wow. Okay, these were seriously good. When I showed up around 10:30 on a recent Saturday morning, the air smelled of freshly frying donuts. It's always a good sign. And while there were donuts on the counter, when I asked if I could get any hot donuts the clerk went into the back and pulled out some steaming hot specimens. That may not sound like such a big deal, but as we say in this part of the world, it's huge. Hot apple cider donuts are so much better than their room temperature version. Which isn't to say that just because a donut is hot, it will be good. I've had my share of hot and disappointing cider donuts too. The hot apple cider donuts at Boehm Farm were delightful. Perfect? No. But absolutely great. And if you're into exploring the farms and orchards in and around the Capital Region, it's definitely worth your time, as I would put this small, off the beaten path orchard, in the top third of the ones I've visited. Maybe even in the top quarter. More than anything, it makes me think. If Boehm Farm has been hiding in plain sight all these years, how many other excellent orchards remain to be discovered by those relatively recent arrivals to the region? Farms! We've got 'em. And you should visit and support as many of our regional growers as possible. Remember: no farms, no food. Plus, they are charming and magical places. Especially in the fall.

They also had a huge selection of really cool gourds, apple cider, a wide selection of jams, pumpkins, winter squash and mums. We picked up some jams, which were pretty reasonably priced, and gourds which were also well priced. This place doesn't have the curated atmosphere of larger farms like Indian Ladder but has good quality merchandise, particularly donuts and gourds so this is definitely now added to our rotation of Fall farm stops in the Albany area.

We have been buying our food from Pam through the Peekskill Farmers Market for over two years and…read moreare extremely happy with her and her farm. She also serves the Albany area through local deliveries and operates her farm year-round. Her farm produces beef, eggs, chicken, pork and many types of vegetables. All of which are USDA certified organic and are far superior to anything that you would find elsewhere. Pam is extremely pleasant to deal with and has a background as a nutritionist and started her farm to grow the best organic food possible after seeing that people were becoming sick after a lifetime of poor nutrition. She also posts recipes on her website which we found to be very helpful. With all the misinformation out there, it is important to know where your food comes from and support local farmer you can trust.

I used to visit here annually when I lived in NY. I have very fond memories of Indian Ladder Farms…read moreas a child and it was a very special treat to sample their warm apple cider and devour a bag of fresh cider donuts. Many years later they have so much more to offer - several varieties of fresh coffee, fresh warm pies, a huge selection of jarred items such as honey, pickles, olives, jams and jellies, a variety of craft beers and ciders made on site, Danishes, cookies, and other pastries for purchase, clothing and other merchandise, a large produce area with some of the most beautiful fruits and veggies available, a separate building dedicated to just apple varieties, and a large event hall at the back end of the property near their brewery. This place is pretty awesome. Something else to note is that when we arrived, they were setting up for Oktoberfest, so if you don't have any plans for Oktoberfest next year this would be an exceptional venue to share in the celebration. I have to say that it is a little pricy, much more expensive than I remember but we are living in different times now. We purchased one of the warm peach pies and it was exquisite. I even had a piece with my breakfast the next morning, I couldn't get enough, but it was about $25. Three donuts and two coffees cost us $17.55, which is a bit overkill but we wanted to enjoy in the moment. We also purchased a jar of peach jelly Togo and that was about $8. This is a great place to take a friend or date in the afternoon or for an event. There are several walking trails available and the property is gorgeous as you have a great view of the Catskill Mountains. There are several places where you can just sit around and chat for a while and they have their own pub and eatery under the main store. Additionally, there are some livestock chilling on the property and a small petting area where the kids can feed goats, chickens and any other creature wandering around. All-in-all, we had a great time while visiting and would definitely come back next time we are in NY.

I was amazed that one person can handle almost 5 acres of land in sometimes harsh weather conditions and consistently produce great varieties of different fruits, vegetables and even unique decorative flowers, that you won't be able to see in citi's flowers shops. Another positive aspect is that Chris does NOT grow any GMO crops, which is a rarity now. Almost 98% of corn in USA is genetically modified and full of pesticides and Monsanto Round-up herbicides, and it's becoming increasingly hard to find good Organic Farmers who think about the environment and people that consume their produce, and Chris is definitely one of them. Overall I would highly suggest to come and visit this Beautiful Farm, bring your kids to see how fruits and veggies are grown, and buy some fresh produce right from the field.
