Last year, they had the BEST warm apple cider donuts - and their hot apple cider was the real deal, not that watered-down stuff you get everywhere else. It was the perfect combo for a chilly autumn day. I was really looking forward to making Dressells Farm a regular weekday stop this fall for that specific treat, but it's a shame they only offer it on weekends. Hopefully, they'll consider offering the hot cider and fresh donuts every day next year so more people can enjoy them!

Admittedly, I haven't been to that many farms for apple-picking, but Hurds is my favorite thus far…read more It's conveniently located off the Thruway (halfway between where I live and where I'm often going), it's staffed by people who I think are saints based on the shenanigans I've seen some of the patrons get into, and it's got all the things: Apples, of course. They've got all the varieties you want, but be aware that depending on when you go, only a couple of them are ripe for the picking. We just came home with a giant bag of Empires, and I couldn't be happier. Pumpkins. They have tiny decorative ones, medium ones for painting/carving, and larger ones for real deal jack-o-lanterns. Fun for the fam. There's a corn maze, a hayride that takes you around the farm and to the apple orchards, animals to feed, an obstacle course, zipline, water cannon, sandbox, tractors to sit on, tires to run on, a giant bounce pillow (like a big trampoline without the hard edges, and the one my girls live for: the giant slide. It's a pretty great slide. We've been the past couple of years in a row, and I'm not going to mess with a good thing. See you out there.

My Upstate getaway was full of meanderings, and those meanderings often included visits to the…read morefarms around town. Golden Harvest was one of those farms, chosen by my husband who planned the entire trip. I was along for the ride. It's quaint and hard to miss with its bright-red, apple-shaped sign. We parked in front of the shop, and the smell of freshly baked goods greeted us when we entered. At that moment I knew this place would not disappoint. The counter had pies, turnovers, and cookies on display, but we came with a mission: secure a cider donut. It's so refreshing to see donuts sold at a reasonable price. For $1.35, these were a steal compared to the $6 ones sold in the city. (Yes, $6 for a single!) The donuts, which were still warm when we had them, were generously coated with cinnamon sugar. You could taste the apple cider with each bite. I would have ordered more, but I was saving my appetite for barbecue. (See my review for their smokehouse on my profile!)

Was looking at raspberries which looked really squished and had some flies and debating whether to buy and tried ONE. I quickly got scolded by a male worker who stood and stared at me and then loudly announced " I was eating all his berries." Very embarrassing. Disappointed that my items were put in a Georgia peaches box as I had naively assumed they were locally grown. On the way out decided to try the BBQ. Stood at the counter while two young girls stared at me no greeting, asking if I could order and they said Yeah rudely. Ordered a $4 iced tea, pulled pork sandwich and my partner got the smash burger. We asked for a cup of water and was told no, only the $2 bottled water. Ok. Burger was awful, thin, not cooked through and $12 for fast food quantity with no side. Pulled pork sandwich was ok but not at all worth $14. Came to almost $40 for two sandwiches that was not worth it. Got home and cut open an apple and it was rotten inside. Not a good visit at all.

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
