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.

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.

I'm grateful every week of the year for this wonderful group of farmers. Having been a member of a…read moreCSA for six years, I can state unequivocally that I trust my produce. Given the state of the supply chain, this was one of the most positively impactful decisions that we made Not only does the farm produce shares for about 500 members of the CSA, but they feed the community as well with donations of thousands of pounds of freshly produced produce every single year. And don't think that you can't come to the farm if you're not a member yet. There are many open to the community events throughout the year. One is coming up in a couple of weeks where you can sample locally crafted foods and other products. The service that this Farm provides to our community is invaluable. Thank of Farmer.

What a hidden gem. Right across the Hudson River from the Poughkeepsie IBM campus, Locust Grove…read moreBrewing Company is nestled in the small town of Milton. We first tried their cider on tap at King's Court Brewery in Poughkeepsie. Easy to find - a big yellow barn with ample parking. We stopped in on a December Saturday looking to have some drinks and check out the new space. We arrived just after they opened and were so impressed by the new, but rustic feel. There's a massive horseshoe bar, gender neutral bathrooms, bar games, firepits, many taps, and my favorite, RIVER VIEWS! The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable and recommended a few tasty styles of beer. Locust Grove makes their own cider and features beer from King's Court Brewery a few miles away. I recommend the Bat Exodus Nitro Stout. Had two and, as a Guinness fan, I thought this was far more flavorful. If stouts aren't your preference, they have many varieties of ales, IPAs, porters, and ciders. The cider isn't too sweet. I sampled a few and found them fruity, funky, and crushable without much sugar. Can't wait to visit again and pick up some swag. Locust Grove has shirts, beanies, and other branded items for purchase. If you're looking for outdoor space, know that they have 3 or 4 Solostove Stainless Firepits. These things are the best - high heat and no smoke. They "fired" it right up for us and before we knew it, three hours passed watching the river as the sun set behind us. PS - they have a legit shuffleboard table inside.

What an incredible accomplishment and so well deserved! The hayride to the orchards was one of our favorite parts. The orchards are absolutely exceptional, with breathtaking views that make the entire experience so special. There is also SO much for children to enjoy! From all of the activities and things to explore to the beautiful farm atmosphere, there is truly something to keep kids entertained and having fun. And the food!! Everything was amazing, especially the home-baked goods and fresh apple cider. You can really tell that so much thought and care goes into every part of the experience. We also happened to see one of the birthday celebrations they now offer to the public, and it looked like such a fun and memorable way to celebrate! It's another wonderful addition to everything this farm has to offer families. You can truly see the love, time, and dedication that they put into creating such a special place. Every year, they seem to add something new while keeping everything that makes this farm so special. Congratulations again on being voted #2 in the country! It is so incredibly well deserved. We had another amazing day and can't wait to come back again!

It's almost like a mute button to all of your thoughts and you instantly kind of forget where you're at. The little drive, fields and curves might take you somewhere in Europe. When you get there and realize the gem of a spot you are walking into with sweet, crisp, juicy floral scents all over and bumble bees buzzing - you almost can't believe it, yes, it's the Hudson Valley. During season, you can come out and pick your own flowers. Choose from a small or large mason jar or if you're already here - go big or go home with their gallon metal bucket. Be sure to also have a sip of their seasonal drinks like their amazing frosè and all the good stuff from Weeds. Hands down my favorite flower farm in the area. Not to mention, how incredible the staff and owner are. Be sure to take some time to read how this flower farm came to be and the magic space you walk on.

We started with grape picking then went to apple afterwards. This place is massive, clean and has a lot of things going on! Music, bakeries, winery and more! Staffs are also very nice and accommodating! Best thing was wagon was free! (Cost $5 but will give you back once the wagon is returned) Apple & grape picking, cider sipping, beautiful views, and plenty of picture-perfect spots. In addition they also have some vegetables available including tomatoes, peppers and eggplants. We will definitely be back! So, if you're looking for the perfect fall day trip, add this to your fall bucket list, I promise, its worth it! Grab your friends or family, come hungry, sip something delicious, and soak up all the autumn vibes.
