It's a bit "out there" from the city but it's also why it it's got the huge footprint to feature so many different variations of apples and other crops that's perfect for picking season. I'm a big fan of the huge variety of offerings and the lovely market and dining area with plenty of food and drink options. The only drawback is that when it gets busy here, you can expect to wait for a long time on various lines and it does get a crazy at times. The other issue is that the picking area is up on a very steep hill so if you plan on making your way down to the market area I would strongly suggest first putting your apples away in the car park and then driving down to the other lot that's at the lower elevation by the market area. This will save you quite a bit of walking up a hill later on. Otherwise it was generally a good experience. read more

I had a really nice time here at the farms .. the guy working at the parking lot set the vibe . He was so nice and kind . We went at the end of the season but we were still able to get some goodies . We also were able to enjoy the animals and watch them . And I can tell they are well taken care of animals and I really loved that . It was alot of walking lol but it was a very nice place I enjoyed it . I didn't care for the amount $45 but if you have a car group you can split the amount up so it's not terrible . And also no one didn't look into our bags or anything on the way out so I'm sorry some had that experience that's terrible . But we had a good time . I didn't care for the bathrooms but it wasn't a porta potty so I'll take that lol read more

Sorry do not waste the money or time .Not good for apple picking their crop was destroyed,but unfortunately they still are collecting the new priced fee of $50 cash at the parking lot entrance !!Which is not advertised clearly to pull you into no return !Then you realize they have zero apples on the trees unless you walk miles to a few trees deep in.In some reviews They are trying to make excuses for doing this while acknowledging the issue yet justifying still keeping the Upick open trying to justify with the fact that there is hayrides / market /animals etc yet they in other posts say that the market is a separate owned family business but also what do those things have to do with the Upick part of the farm .The crop is not their fault but that does not make it acceptable to continue to stay open to collect money for bags to send people on a wild goose chase !!So if they are staying open for their loyal patrons love of animals ,the market/hay rides then stay open for that but fact is they want to get that $50 cash upfront .Sorry they need to close the Upick for the year and take the tax write off lose ,but it's not patrons responsibility to bail them out.I had multiple other families who I found out also visited the past 2 weekends we know that had the same experience which now has caused a lose of multiple loyal patrons.This is Bad business practice!! read more

Cute orchard! Pretty busy on weekends. They have a cidery, beer garden, apple picking, and a market. We went to the cidery and got a flight, as well as a full cider. They sell their own ciders too! Pizza is available for order. Staff is super friendly and the ciders were delicious! Market is filled with produce, baked goods, and more. They also sell kettle corn - yum! A nice day-getaway from the city. Only about an hour out! read more

Pennings Orchard - Semi sweet cider flight! $23 - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Warwick, New York

came here wednesday. LOVE that there's no entrance fee but they do price by bags instead. 1st bag $25, 2nd $45. the bags themselves are pretty small but can fit about 15-20 apples depending on the type and size. we were a group of 7 and since most of us had went apple picking already we just got one bag so we can take an apple or two each. the con is that there's an up hill walk if you park down at the market, you can park up near the orchard but you would have to exit and re-enter and we came in 3 different cars so we didnt' want to go that route either. we followed the signs that pointed to apple orchard but apparently it was the opposite way - they need to fix that. since it is the end of the season there wasnt that much of an abundance of apples but we still managed to find a good amount here and there. overall, great if you're in a group and dont want to bring home that many apples and just enjoy the vibes! bad if you want a bunch of apples - better to just buy the bundles that they sell at the market for cheaper ! overall not bad experience at all! just small nusiances that made the experience just ok compared to others! read more

This place has more than enough apples on the trees as long as you're willing to walk for them. Plenty of options and the ciders is an added bonus. The coders has its own brewing system on premises and has canned ciders for sale. The day I went they had a honey hopped cider that was so good. I just wish this one was canned up as well. Good food from the food truck and excellent pizza at the farm. Not much for the kids to do but if you want good foo, great apples, and the best cider----go here. read more

Pennings Orchard - Brick oven pizza - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Warwick, New York

The employees are rude. The place is completely a mess and unorganized. Their entertainment was a 90 year old man playing a guitar along with pre-recorded music. Everything was very ill prepared.. the amount of money this place makes and the fact that it's always packed should give them the opportunity to make this place great. The level of an orchard should be a lot better than it was; so disappointed.! The five dollar corn maze wasn't a maze but was just a circle. The farm store was three tables with a couple bags of prepackaged, apples, and prepackaged popcorn, and that was it! There was an area that said farm birds that had three chickens and a cage filled with sparrows. Didn't expect much but definitely didn't expect this garbage. read more

This orchard is really unlike any other I've visited before. There's pros and cons but overall I would visit again. We left pretty late on a Sunday, got there around 3. I expected parking to be difficult but they have multiple entrances and it was a mess. It did give us time to buy bags. I've never purchased apples this way before. Normally I pick them and pay per pound. This was 30 dollars a bag and it really was a decent size. I would say about two shoprite bags worth of apples. On the bag itself is a map of the area and where the apples are located. They were a bit difficult to get to. A lot of them were already out of season. They mostly had courtland apples so we got to picking. Arriving around 3pm left us with a limited selection but it was still doable. They also have little stand in between certain orchards where you can stop and buy some food or go to the bathroom. I thought that was really cool especially for families with small kids. They offered water and some easy things on the grill like hotdogs and burgers. If you have an SUV, bring it. The trails are a bit difficult. It really is a huge space and worth taking the time to walk around and discover different apples. read more

Been coming here for the past 6 years! You pull in and pay 30$ and they give you a large bag and you pick all the apples you can carry. My daughter (6) loves it every year. They have a wonderful selection of apples. If you go early enough you have your choice of any! Clean and well maintained. They also have a very cute area set up for the kids to play, chicken coupe and goats. My favorite part is the beer garden. Unfortunately this year Covid ruined it and you can't just walk around the beer garden you have to stay seated and eat.. really stinks.. they used to have a huge smoker and cooked pulled pork and I always look forward to it- this year they did not have any of that- just a small menu with mediocre options :-( big disappointment. Hoping next year they will bring back all the fun stuff they usually have! They also have a cute little shop with plants and outdoor Halloween decor. I got this amazing metal CEMETERY sign from them a few years ago, and never found anything else quite like it! Wish they would bring more of that back also!! The cider donuts are a must, they still have this and a cute little crepe stand if you're into that kind of thing :-) we'll be back in September hoping things change a little. read more

Rude employees. Checking cars on the way out making you pop the hatch or trunk to see if you are stealing apples wtf. Been to many orchards never had that done . Wasn't great anyway. Will not return. read more

A family friendly and dog friendly place to pick apples. *Just be sure your dog is leashed!* Be sure to check their website to find out what apples are ready to be picked. http://www.penningsorchard.com/ After a drive from Queens to Pennings Orchard... we head straight to the eating area by the Farm Market for their Fish & Chips. Fish is freshly fried and fries are a little crunchy. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/IqnnUyUjxdpECxWA_wRj8Q?select=G4cQmbxhITKy1pRo_dFBag http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/IqnnUyUjxdpECxWA_wRj8Q?select=PZJOZMU3o-k96KtIsvKgmQ With bellies full, we get into our car again and drive to the their parking area for apple picking. There are 8 different parking areas. We usually park in Lot 5 as it is the most central location. Map - http://www.penningsorchard.com/docs/OrchardMap.pdf Each car is required to purchase a minimum of 1 bag for apple picking, which costs $25 cash. Before you leave the orchard, be sure to stop by the Farm Market again for Kettle Corn and freshly made Cinnamon Doughnuts! Pennings Farm Market - http://www.yelp.com/biz/pennings-farm-market-warwick#query:pennings%20orchard Notes: 1) Cell Phone Reception - depending on how old your actual cell phone is, you may not get reception. I have an oldy moldy flip phone that barely got signal but bf was able to get a signal with a Blackberry Bold. Both phones are with Verizon. 2) Kids - just a warning - the place can be a bit chaotic and busy with kids running a muck. read more

This place was a rip off and a big scam! No where on the website did it state that it was mandatory to pay $30 for one bag ( to pick apples ) to enter. In that case, just charge People admission to enter. I would like to buy apples at my own Will not forced by the staff rudely asking 1 or 2 bags repeatedly. We had only two people in the car and had no use for a whole bag of apples. There were also no maps given and there are no apples to be picked at where we were parked, it's all not ready to be picked yet. We just left with the empty bag. Writing this review to let the more fortunate people to not go here ever! What a mess and we drove 1.5 hrs to get here and it's not worth it at all. read more

First time Apple picking in a long time. Definitely a great place to come in the fall with family the kids or friends. Good variety of apples lots of Macintosh though. Try to get some of those Apple cider donuts those are like a must have! They also have a beer garden which was pretty cool too. I would Definitely come here again in the future. Monica Pennings was such a sweetheart she gave us the history of the Pennings farm which was very insightful. read more

This review is specifically for Pennings Orchard for apple picking. This orchard is overhyped and I wish had gone to my go-to apple picking spot Och's Orchard right around the corner from Pennings. The only reason I tried Pennings this year was bc Och's were out of Honeycrisp apples. Pros: -My kids enjoyed the play area with a big pile of gravel where little kids can play with toy dump trucks Cons: -At the entrance before you even enter the parking area, they make you line up by car to pay the staff $35 per bag (no other options). Cash only. -Super dirty bathrooms -No maps provided but the farm was small anyways -Not many animals here and a maze made of plastic fence was so lame no one was playing there. -There were only two rows of Honeycrisp -Honeycrisp were so small here compared to the other farms -Rude staffs. Saw an old lady (the owner?) yelling at little kids. No tasting allowed here. -Staffs were literally following people around forcing people to buy additional $35 bags if the apples were overflowing. That said, their farm and cidery next door were great, but I would skip Pennings Orchard and go to Och's for apple picking and stop by the farm/cidery on the way home. I'll never come back here for apple picking. read more

Great place for fall activities! They have apple picking (very organized with signs), beer garden, different food vendors, and shopping. Apple picking is $30.00 a bag! The beer garden is cute but small. In my opinion they needed more tables. There wasn't enough for the amount of traffic that there was. The bar inside the market was kind of small with only a few tables for people to sit at. Coming here in Saturday was overwhelming. There was lines for everything you do more waiting than actually doing. I guess crowds are expected at this time of year. I would recommend coming here right when they open and not early afternoon read more

The orchard is beautiful and at night they have a fire pit to sit and talk With friends or the owners. They have a brand new store they just opened this year in the front. Great if you need apples or a last minute gift and you don't want to go to the grocery store or brave the traffic in the village. There is an ATM located also in the store if you forgot your cash. As you travel up the driveway there is a children's play area with toys every youngster can play with. Next stop is to pay for your bag so you can pick your own apples! Staff is super friendly and helpful! They gave me a map and I was able to find things very easily. There is a pumpkin patch and barn with animals at the top of the hill. The baby cows are adorable! There is music, food, homemade goodies, including hot and cold apple cider made from the apples in their orchard! Absolutely delicious! There is a corn maze and lots of other things you can do with your family or significant other. I would definitely visit again! read more

The most important thing about visiting Pennings Orchard is picking someone you can spend the whole day with. I visited last September with my friend Kaelin, and we ended up spending the whole day here. By mistake. We drove up from New York City. There was no traffic across the Brooklyn Bridge or among the sprawl of small hotels surrounding Met Life stadium. We mocked them and scoffed, how useless and inane. The drive wound us through patches of Northern New Jersey that looked more like Ireland than America. It was radiant, verdant and the perfect landscape to open the windows and play DJ and driver.  When we arrived no fewer than four people every 100 yards told us to keep driving to the back. We bought an apple bag, parked in a field and tried to remember what variety of apples are good for what. The rows of trees are bountiful and closer to the ground. We were quickly distracted by a barn at the top of the driveway. There were loose calfs in pens that day, so we pet them without supervision and with hand sanitizer. It was a gorgeous, not quite hot day, and there was plenty of room to graze the trees a few times before picking the best apples. And plenty of room to drop your keys somewhere in the tall grass.  When you lose your car keys at Pennings, don't waste your time looking. We retraced our lazy steps through the trees for hours and didn't find them. It was annoying, then a little worrying, and eventually it was a resigned brand of funny. This is where great friendships are discovered, not made. You won't tough it out, you'll hang out and see what happens. Make sure you're the type of people who can roll with the punches. Fortunately, it is hard to run out of ways to kill time at Pennings! I bought lunch. This area was more crowded with lots of families getting completely decent food and drinks at the bar. The dads were ordinary and handsome. We contemplated hopping in the back of a pick up and starting a new, rural life. It seemed romantic and plausible. We have skills. Kaelin is very good at riding horses. I'm tall.  If you're looking for more sustenance, the ShopRite across the street is the single greatest grocery store I've ever seen. It had a fresh meat bell -- it signaled the presence of ripe ground beef. Also maybe two city slicker fools who were trapped with no way out. They also have indoor seating, so you can sit there for an hour or two eating gluten free cookies and salsa. It is crucial you pick someone you cannot run out of things to talk about with. When you exhaust the orchard, the calfs, and the ShopRite there is an ice cream window and a crepe shack. The ice cream is solid. On top of that there is live music. Yes, if you get trapped at Pennings they will provide live entertainment! We didn't try any alcoholic cider, but as the sun went down we silently contemplated it. It might fuel a rendezvous with someone who owned car keys. Take the apples in the bag and steal the keys...  I bought apple cider. It was too sweet and not rich enough for my taste. I bought half a pie for our tow truck driver as tribute.We kicked through the grass one last time, the late summer sky turning gold at the edges and dark blue in the dreamy center. Cars and their apple bags pulled out of the field one by one until only our small, inert chariot was left in the middle like the last goose on the lake before flying south. The lighting at Pennings is unbeatable. If you wait around until the last minutes of daylight, you will snap your new profile picture. (A talented and indulgent photographer is required though.) The sensational drive that made arriving at Pennings glorious made it quiet and unremarkable leaving it, sandwiched in the front seat of the tow truck. (The tow truck driver took so long that I withheld the half pie.) The drive home is where you'll know if you're good friends or not. If you don't start fighting in front of the nice man, you're probably good for life. You won't get to play the rest of your playlist though, leaving the best of Taylor Swift, John Mayer and Harry Styles for another day. More than once you will ask yourself if you have to sleep in the hotels you mocked. You will also ask yourself if the higher power governing the universe is actually a Courtyard Marriot-based God. Not impossible.  Visiting Pennings is completely enjoyable even if you're stuck for six hours. You really can't run out of things to do. I bet it's even less stressful if you choose to be there for six hours. However, it's only fun if you like the person you're with, if you understand each other, love each other and have a particularly unhinged joint sense of humor. If you must lose your car keys, do not do it in an orchard. You will never find them. But if you could pick an orchard to lose your keys in, Pennings is your best bet. It's a fine place for a fiasco. Alas, we will probably never return. It is cursed land, and we got the hint. P.S. If anyone ever located the keys, let us know. read more

This is a nice orchard for pick-your-own. They have a very nice variety of apples, including Honeycrisp, Ginger Gold, Gala, and all of the usual suspects. The really great thing is that they are Dog friendly so you can bring your pups to enjoy a nice day picking apples. Their prices are pretty much the same as most orchards, $27 per bag, but they give you very nice mesh bags, not the cheap plastic bags you get at other places. Oh, and the apples were fantastic. We have enough apples to last us through winter (and a few for pies as well!). read more

Drove 1.5 hours up here since my friends really love this place and I gotta say it was definitely worth it! Besides the apple orchard and kids activities, there's a ton of adult stuff to do at this farm. There's a decent dice Biergarten with a really good selection of homemade brews, tons of food trucks/vendors, and an indoor farmers market with lots of yummy treats. There's a ton of really cute photoshoot areas and overall the atmosphere is really nice for an adult gathering. I hope to be returning next fall! read more

Apples galore! My former love and I went apple picking and came home with two large bags of Fuji, McIntosh, Gala, Braeburn, Ida Reds, Granny Smith, Cortland, Empire and much more! They do have a miniumum bag rule of $20.00 where upon exiting the grounds the staff checks your car for the number of bags from the back seat to the inside trunk of your car. Pennings Orchard is CASH only as they don't accept credit cards of any form for payment. The best time of year for apple picking is October to late November. Every aisle of apple trees are clearly marked with the apple types which is very helpful: Fuji, McIntosh, Gala, Cortlands, Braeburn, Empires, et al. At the entrance there is a flyer to inform visitors what genre of apples are unavailable due to spoilage in temperature, storm, or unavoidable circumstances with climate controls in nature. "Golden Delicious is available due to inproper temperatures this season, Pennings Orchard apologize for the inconvenience." It's fun for the whole family including children. I believe it's a family own farm which they also have activities as Hay Rides and Pumpkin picking. They have a large parking lot which you can move from one acre of land to another and still access your car. www.penningsorchard.com read more

Apple orchards aren't really my thing. In elementary school, we used to go apple picking every year for Johnny Appleseed Day--winner of the "Most Random Holiday" award--and I was never into it. Thus, while I'd driven by Pennings many times before when passing through Warwick, I never went in. But one day my mom and I made a pit stop here just to use the bathrooms. The line for the women's room was pretty long, which gave me some time to explore. All in all, Pennings is a pretty cool place. First off, I didn't realize that they have a beer garden. They don't do a good enough job of advertising it but granted it isn't fancy; just a bunch of picnic tables and a bar. However their taps were decent, including options from Dogfish Head and Victory, and they had additional bottle options. This is in addition to a small, indoors bar as well. I would've gladly gotten a beer if I was with people or had more time. They also have a few food concessions, where I grabbed some apple cider donuts and apple cider for like $2. Given that it was the fall, there were also pumpkins everywhere, so we were able to pick some of those out as well. Lastly, between the indoor market and the home and garden area, we pick up a few other things including a bottle of their hard apple cider (pretty good). Damn good visit given that we were just going to use the bathroom. All of that is also in addition to apple and pumpkin picking that city folk love. I can't comment on how it compares to orchards nearby, but it has to be pretty favorably. I would definitely come back here for the beer garden, to eat, or really just in general. read more

Really unpleasant apple picking experience!! All of the apples that were apparently "ready" were entirely green and the apples that looked red were all rotten. They should've told us to wait at least 2 weeks before coming to pick them. Like the other reviews mentioned, the owner is extremely rude and you pay for $30/bag upon entering (which was expected but if any apples overflow they force you to pay for another bag. I now have spent $60 on apples of poor quality and will never be coming back here again. read more

Pennings Orchard - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Warwick, New York

Greetings, Let me start by saying this place has become a family tradition. I have been coming here for over five years now. The family and I made our yearly trip here this past weekend (10/13/13), as usually this place didn't disappoint. Penning's has everything you need for a fun fall day. We usually start off apple picking. The orchards have a huge variety of apples to choose from. The amount obviously depends on when you go, being we went earlier in October there was tons of apples on the trees. A bag of apples is going to run $25 and is usually per car. I would recommend leaving one car at the bottom of the hill and car pooling up or taking the hay ride. After apple picking, we usually go down to the farmers market where they have pumpkins, food, animals for the kids and a beer garden. There is a huge variety of food from hot dogs, chicken fingers, pulled pork, ice cream (pumpkin), apple cider and pop corn. They use to have this local guy who made this amazing pumpkin cheesecake but I haven't seen him in the last few years. There is a bar inside the farmer's market where they have TV's, I did notice football on My new favorite thing is the beer garden which opened up over the last several years. I had pumpkin ale this year, you can sit out in the sun and have a beer and listen to the live music. (they take CC) Close to the beer garden they some chickens and goats you can feed. They have machine that you get food from for .25 and they have a bungee jumping thing for the kids as well. Our last stop is usually the "Pumpkin Patch" which is no more than a bunch of pumpkins already picked in huge groups. I guess that's the only downside is that you don't get to walk through and pick your own off the vine. They have all sizes and they are .59 a pound, however, the guy just looked at the two I had and said $20. Create Memories! read more

A beautiful orchard with plenty of apples, fresh air, and space to social distance! We went the last weekend in September and had a great experience. Made sure to arrive early at 10am (the place opens at 9 but life with a toddler doesn't exactly help with being timely), were directed right into a parking spot, broke out our wagon and headed to the trees. Areas are roped off accordingly to allow for the ripest varieties to be picked. Everyone was very courteous of each other and being mindful to wear a mask in the aisles where there were more people, and cutting through the rows when it got too crowded. We picked til around 1230 and tried to head to the Biergarten but it was a little too late and the doors were closed and the line was formed because they met occupancy. We would have waited but a hungry toddler takes priority so we left. Passing by you could see that they gave plenty of space for everyone inside, tables were separated and staff wore masks. Hopefully we'll get in next time! The kids play area and petting zoo was open with a bunch of kids running around and playing. We didn't get into the market either because of lines but hopefully next time! $30 for parking and a half bushel bag to pick and we got at least 60-70 apples to take home. We would definitely go back! read more

Pennings Orchard is in the heart of apple picking country, several miles from Masker's and down the street from Ochs, two other popular pick-your-own orchards. Pennings is a large property, sprawling over the hillside. The orchard is next to the main road so you will hear traffic whizzing by but we didn't find it too distracting and at least you have quick access. They have multiple parking lots throughout the property, some right next to the trees, and lots of attendants to direct you. The good news is they are set up to handle the large crowds that must come through on weekends. The bad news is they must be mobbed on weekends. We went on Columbus Day Monday which is not a work holiday for many so it was not very crowded. With fewer customers, only the main parking lot was open so we took the short walk up to the orchard. Before we entered, we had to buy a $30 bag--comes in one size, fits about 35 large apples. They have a big variety of apples to choose from and there were still many apples on the trees on Oct. 8. You get a map of when you enter and the trees are clearly marked. The grounds were well kept and tidy and we didn't run into a lot of people, probably because the place is so huge. We had a great time strolling from tree to tree picking apples, the kids chasing each other around--this is what apple picking is all about. After filling our bags with apples, we dropped them off in the car and walked over to the main building for lunch. There is an outdoor snack bar serving sandwiches, fish and chips, and the like. Inside, there is a small market and a bar. Unlike the rest of the orchard, their capacity was strained even with the light crowds that day. There wasn't much seating indoors or outside and it took us a while to find a place to sit. After we ordered they gave us pagers which was a nice touch, but it took 35 minutes for the food to come out. Quality was mediocre--the clam chowder was runny and lukewarm, even after we took it back and asked them to reheat it. All in all, the food service could have been much better organized. There didn't seem to be many other food options in the area so you would be better off packing a picnic lunch. There is a small petting zoo with a few animals but it wasn't much. We stopped by Ochs on the way home and even though it is a smaller orchard, we thought they had a better zoo. Overall, we enjoyed our day at Pennings, food issues aside. I have been to a few different orchards and they're all pretty much the same--you have some freshly made cider donuts (delicious), pick apples, have an overpriced, so-so lunch and check out the petting zoo. More important than where you go is when you go--avoid weekends if possible, always go early in the day, and go early enough in the season to get apples before they're all picked. I would go back to Pennings, but only after observing the aforementioned rules. read more

I have been going to Pennings for almost two decades now. I love this place- it's nice to leave the city and remember how beautiful our planet/ nature is. Apple picking with my family is an unforgettable experience. I also love the way the business is evolving. There is something new every year. However, I was taken aback by the disorganization when it comes to purchase some items such as " apple cider donuts" I mean, you do know that most of us go (also) there for the kettle corn, apple cider AND the donuts!!!! How come there wasn't an alternative plan ( for when you ran out of apple cider donuts)? Various (workers at the market) told us that we had to wait about an hour in order get our hands on only one bag per person. So I waited... half an hour later I see this kid bringing the goods from the kitchen and handing it out to a guy that was standing at the door by the kitchen entrance !$@&#... this? after they told us to wait by the table with the pies.... I wasn't happy. Pennings we love the Apple ciders donuts- make sure that you make/bake/fry enough for the entire day ( since I noticed that it was way after closing time and the orchard was still full with no sign of people leaving) instead of making just enough...please. Apart from that small incident... I had a great time! read more

Great open spaces, many rows to get lost in. Not hard to socially distance even when the parking lots are full. The apples are crips and delicious read more

This review is for the store only, not for the apple picking. The store is awesome especially in the fall with beautiful weather. With the amazing weather, there will also be huge crowds. Want to avoid the crowds? Go early in the morning. I went to Ochs Orchard nearby for apple picking and wrapped around to Pennings on the way home. When I got there around 12:30 pm, the place started to fill up. When I left around 1 pm, the place was completely packed. There was traffic up and down the road because people were trying to go to Pennings. All the foods that they sell are high quality goods at a higher price. I would go there for the seasonal items that are fresh. You can get groceries anywhere, let's be real. The fresh apple cider donuts are 5 stars hands down. If you buy the apple cider donuts outside that are freshly made, it's $1/donut, $5/half dozen, and $10/dozen. I got a dozen and accidentally scarfed down half a bag. Be careful, the fresh donuts get soggy if they sit in the bag for a long time. Their homemade hard apple cider is quite delicious. The kettle corn stand outside smells amazing. It's $10 for a huge bag of popcorn. There's a beer garden for the older crowd and pony rides for the younger crowd. There's benches outside for you to eat the chips and dip that you bought in the market or you can bring your own food Pennings is a great place on a beautiful fall day read more

I've been coming to Pennings for a few years now and with each yearly visit I see they continue to expand and improve. The kids' playground got a bit of a facelift (where kids of all ages act like complete lunatics and the parents just keep a safe distance and keep nodding their heads in confusion and fear), the outdoor beer garden (complete with hipster bartender and loud drunk patrons - even though the bar was only open for an hour) has been fleshed out (complete with some killer eats at the other corner - the pulled pork sandwich and sides were mighty delicious and went perfectly with the snake bite beer), and of course if you're brave enough you can venture to the 'general store' to muscle your way to getting some cider donuts and kettle corn (yuck - who invented this stuff and why?!) and pumpkins and everything else. And the apple picking (is it just me that thinks the bag they give you is getting smaller and smaller or what?!) is still a good way to burn a few calories and enjoy nature before you venture down to overdo it with all the high-calorie items for sale. Always a great way to spend a Sunday with the family. read more

Amazing Orchard. I went here with family and friends to experience Apple picking, grabbing pumpkins, try their vast different types of apples and desserts that they served in their farm market. I enjoyed the caramelized popcorn, the donuts and even the drinks from the brewery! The staff here is extremely friendly and very considerate, I definitely recommend everyone to come out here! read more

Pennings Orchard - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Warwick, New York

See all

Awesome place to bring your pup and pick apples! I went on the only day this fall that it snowed, but they still had an outdoor band and tons of people. The food is A+++. It's fresh, original, and delicious. Everything looked so good I had a hard time choosing what I wanted. Avoid the shop, it's quite pricey. I'm docking a star because I asked this girl behind the counter how much a hockey puck sized brownie was and she looked at her coworkers, shrugged, and said with a straight face "6 dollars". I tried really hard not to laugh in her face. Other than ridiculously priced baked goods, this place is pretty neat. read more

We had a wonderful time at Pennings Orchard! There were still plenty of apples to pick, and they had a great variety of foods for purchase. The market was great! It did become a bit disorganized when there were large crowds, but overall it was a wonderful experience. P.S. Due to new laws, dogs will not be allowed in the Orchard next year read more

There is so much to like about Pennings: their apple cider donuts, the apple varieties in their orchard, their market with its baked goods, their play areas and activities for kids...but each time I've gone--and this is early in the day--their bathrooms were filthy. I don't expect it to be spotless but it should be sanitary. I have found excrement stains, urine collecting due to broken toilets, tissue stuck all over the toilet seats and swarms of flies that are attracted to the mess and foul smell. I could not bring my family in there and I couldn't find a changing table. I have had to alert staff each time but sadly, nothing has changed. If you're going to visit, just avoid the bathrooms located in the market. read more

I've been coming to this orchard since I was a kid! A great family owned business with an awesome & delicious crop every year!

Beautiful location, and wide variety of apples. That being said, way way WAY overpriced, staff is rude, and if you're the private type, be aware that believe it or not, they actually aggressively search your car when you leave, I guess in case you're smuggling out any if their precious average yet overpriced apples? Bad tourist trap, and sadly it's crowded with people searching for trees that have more apples on the branches than rotting on the ground. Never going back. read more

I've been coming here for roughly 8 years now and every year some new additions/expansions just make coming back a must. -Chickens and goats to feed and pet -Apple Cider donuts! (although I miss the days you would be handed a steaming bag of them instead of the prepackaged containers they sell now) -Face painting! -Pumpkins! (already cut, just pick up and go) -Crepe shop! -Market with farm fresh eggs, local honey, etc.. -Apples, Apples, Apples -Simple wooden outdoor train the all the kids just go BONKERS for and spend hours playing on -Beer Garden for the adults! -Hay rides around the orchard! There's just always something for everyone going on at Pennings and it's one of my Fall musts. read more

After calling in advance to be sure pets were allowed and driving over 2 hours from NYC, we were informed by the owner after paying that dogs are not allowed near the trees and could only walk around the parking lot. It even shocked the attendant who took our money. May I quote: "I don't really care but other people have complained that dogs are sh*tting and p*ssing on the apples and we can't have that anymore" This was the only reason we came all the way up here, because they claimed to allow pets. My wife filled up the bag of apples and saw 3 small dogs walking around so maybe large dogs are forbidden (ours is a golden retriever). Either way, VERY disappointed and won't ever come back. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! RACIST, RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL OWNERS!! ROTTEN APPLES! first of all, my entire family got yelled at and kicked out by the owners. The bag they gave us for apples completely ripped, so we put our apples in a plastic bag and put the plastic bag in the bag they gave us. A lady who told us she was the owner saw it and started yelling at my kid(12years old) who was holding the bag. She yelled at the top of her lungs for no reason at all. Because My Sister was wearing a hijab, the owner went on to call us and my children "terrorists". I was beyond shocked.. not only did she yell and harass but to a CHILD!! It was so unprofessional and embarrassing. Second, the bag for apples is $30. Yes $30.. the farm we usually go to sells them for $5. Even if you go in 2 cars, you must buy a bag just to enter the farm. We paid $60 for 25 apples. They are a huge rip off and if I'm being honest, they will not be kind if you are not white. The staff treated my entire family like crap from the start and we were all so kind. It is obvious that the owners and staff are simply racist. On top of all of this, we barely found any apples. And the ones we did find were ROTTEN! Save your time and money, go anywhere else!! I was never treated so inhumanly, but most of all I could not believe a 50 year old woman would yell at a child. We also saw 2 workers completely drunk on the job with beers in their hands. Not only drunk on the job, but also driving their pickup trucks while wasted .. with kids walking around.. save your money and save your kids. Beware. read more
