Wright's Farm in Gardiner is exactly that kind of place. Established in 1904, this beautiful family farm offers an incredible selection of fresh produce, delicious baked goods, homemade jams, honey, pickles, breads, plants, and so much more. I was especially impressed by their greenhouse operation, which includes both hydroponic and aquaponic growing systems. They grow fresh lettuce, cucumbers, and strawberries right on the property using innovative growing methods. The farm itself is beautiful, with apple and peach orchards, fields of wildflowers, and plenty of seasonal produce. There's also a great selection of perennial plants for anyone looking to add something new to their garden. And there's even a brewery right on the property, making Wright's Farm more than just a place to pick up groceries. It's a destination to explore, shop, eat, drink, and enjoy the beauty of the Hudson Valley. From the incredible selection of locally produced foods to the beautiful landscape and innovative farming practices, Wright's Farm was definitely a highlight of our visit. Fresh food, local farms, beautiful scenery, and a true Hudson Valley experience. I'm looking forward to coming back.

Our CSA recently included Chaseholm Farm's 100% grass-fed whole milk yogurt and farmer's cheese…read morewith garlic and chives in our share. I was quite floored by the former and impressed enough by the quality of the latter to write an uncharacteristic review for an establishment I've never visited or interacted with directly. But let me just tell you about that yogurt! I don't often enjoy plain yogurt all by its lonesome, without honey or fruit compote, or as an ingredient in cold cucumber soup or raitha. Chaseholm's plain, whole milk yogurt was so good I was reluctant to adulterate it with anything else. Texturally just a touch thicker than kefir, with the rich mouthfeel of full fat, the flavor is mild and easy-going, but not so mild as to be uninteresting (e.g. Dannon). I don't think I can remember a plain yogurt I enjoyed more. Farmer's cheese is a fresh, unaged cheese made by mixing cow's milk with an acid (eg lemon juice, vinegar). It's a close cousin of cottage cheese (which I despise); paneer (meh); and cream cheese (a lot more enthusiastic). Truth be told, farmer's cheese is not my favorite type of cheese, but this version was surprisingly charming. The garlic and chives were present, but not at all overwhelming, and the texture creamy enough to spread it on our favorite everything bagels (from Tal). I firmly believe that happy cows make the most delicious milk. (There's a dairy farm we like in CT that keeps calves with their mothers and only takes some of the milk meant for the calf -- something called the Madre Method, I think. The milk produced there is scrumptious.) Based on the products we've tried, I'm willing to bet the cows at Chaseholm Farm are happy!

Especially yummy looking were the lettuces on the counter. Unfortunately, I had already bought some previously, so didn't buy any. But was so tempted anyway. Also tempting were the variety of frozen meats. They had beef, pork and chicken. Was looking for beef tri tip or rib eye but they ran out. Anyway, definitely worth a return visit with a big cooler in hand.

I opted for the bi-week pick up for $235 = 8 weeks at the actual farm in Standfordville. Not knowing what to expect as I'm a complete newbie at this, I called for more info. Dave was so helpful on the phone, explaining how things works, where to park, when to come, etc. So I decided to join to try it out! When I arrived the first time, Dave was there to greet me and show me around - basically there's a sign-in sheet at the barn entrance along with a weekly newsletter. Bring your own reusable bags and also the thin plastic bags for produce (they have it there, but you can reuse the ones you get from grocery to save the planet). There's a big blackboard showing you what the share of the week is - It's the MAX amount you can take - so get all or get what's right for you. All of the produce are lay out neatly and orderly - it's really a fool-proof system and signs everywhere telling you how many you can take. There are also info on produce profile, food storage, and recipes along the back wall. They also have a section for "PYO" - pick your own! This is for your to go out to the garden and pick from the plant itself! Usually it always comprise flowers and herbs. It's only my second week, but I just LOVE how fresh the produce taste, LOVE having fresh flowers at home, and LOVE trying new recipes with vegetables we usually don't eat. It also forces me to eat more vegetables so i can clean out my fridge for the next pickup. Although I don't have any previous experience on CSA, but I do think this is as good as it gets!!

Phenomenal experience. I went on a weekday in August and it was not at all crowded. Everyone I…read morespoke to was extremely friendly, attentive, and helpful with directions and any questions I asked. I was there for the peaches. They provided a box or bag for the fruit which is all priced by the pound. There was no additional fee for the box. I picked 10 peaches, which came out to $22. On entry you purchase a $5 voucher which can be redeemed towards any purchase which I think is great. After picking peaches I enjoyed sitting on the spacious patio with an ice cream and a walk up to see the farm animals. If you're going for an animal encounter I will say these animals seemed to enjoy distance, but were still lovely.

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.
