One of the BEAT farms in the area where you can pick blueberries, raspberries, apples and pumpkins depending on the time of the season! Today we went pumpkin picking and I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant and we happened to have a private pumpkin ride to the pumpkin patch! Danny was an absolute SAINT and drove so slowly and smoothly. He dropped us off at the patch where it hasn't been picked through. Incredible and kind service from everyone at the farm! Absolutely love coming here and getting gourds. Perfect for families and love coming to the petting zoo! They have Chloe the friendly horse, goats, pigs, cows, and donkeys. Love love love this farm especially now when it's fall here in the Adirondacks!! read more

Food is great.Produce Beautiful Great staff.Highly recommend. The baked goods are excellent

Terrific apples and everything else you can think of. Fun for whole family! Beautiful displays, pies and gifts too.

Not charging 100 dollars for photographers to take pictures at your orchard, it's free advertising and that never used to be something you guys did. Also how can we "go through Amanda " when Amanda takes over a month to respond to an email. I think Mr Rulf would be disappointed... read more

Their bakery section is on point. Ever since Cake Placid closed I've been searching for a peanut butter and chocolate dessert. Today, Rulf's had two different brownie bars ($4/per). One was peanut butter and the other was chocolate chip cookie dough. YUM. They're large, heavy, and perfect. The brownie is literally perfect and the peanut butter mix and bittersweet chocolate topping were icing on the cake. Their pumpkin bars with icing ($2/per) are always moist, tender, and not too sweet. They recently had a fudgey chocolate oat cookie that my husband loved. I wish I had taken pictures but I ate it too quickly. read more

One of my favorite orchards to visit yearly! First off, come hungry because they actually have really good food and lots of options. I personally loved the breakfast quesedilla because it was HUGE and the eggs were cooked fresh. Their desserts are a whole other thing though. I have a major sweet tooth and I have a very hard time choosing just a few because they're all SO good and cheap. You can go at various times through-out the year to pick everything from strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples and pumpkins. The tractor rides and farm animals are great for kids too. Highly recommend making the drive out here, you will not be disappointed! read more

Locally owned family business. Started by Bob Rulf himself, he created such an amazing atmosphere for people of any age. Between the orchards, pick-your-own strawberries, petting zoo, and other events, it's sure to be a great time. There's also great bakers who make the best baked goods. Want the best apple cider donut in town? Go to Rulf's. Also pair with their homemade apple cider and yummy honey sticks! read more

So cute! Hidden gem. Perfect Cakey cider donuts. Petting zoo and corn maze! Pick your own apples if u want. read more

Mr Rulfs has come a long way since I first went here as a child. Back then they just had a bunch of apple trees all lined up in a row, some good apple cider doughnuts that they'd just started to distribute, and these great lollipops that I'll never forget. Some 20 years later, Mr Rulfs is still alive and kicking, and has a lot more going on. Selection: Gone are the days of just a few types of apples and the occasional tomatoes and ears of corn in a roadside stand. Nowadays Mr Rulfs had a pretty good operation going with some 15 types of apples, pumpkins, strawberries, blueberries, squashes, tomatoes and peppers. The full list on the website, and everything is seasonal. If you want fresh Rulfs produce, most of the time you can find in local grocery stores (I'm pretty sure even Price Chopper sells his apples) but heading out to the farm is the best idea. They also have several greenhouses set up now. You can get all sorts of flowers and plants and gardening tools and mulch. It's definitely a fun look around, although go early in the season, by early August everything's pretty picked over. In the holidays you can get your trees and wreaths from Mr Rulfs, too. If I remember they might even have firewood for those with no ax in their shed. The store and bakery sells everything from Vermont maple syrup, honey, jams, pies, breads, candy apples, carmel apples, doughnuts and produce. It's a heavenly smell in the cozy barn-like shop. You can't go wrong, and you'll always leave with something good. Venue: What first started out as a dairy farm with a few acres, Mr Rulfs Orchard has developed into a grand farm with over 150 acres of produce, seven greenhouses and a grand store. The apple orchards are open for all to walk through, and you can pick your own strawberries, blueberries and pumpkins in season. When heading down Bear Swam Road, you can't miss it. It's huge. And it's open all year long, so you have no reason not to stop by if you're in the area. We always used to drive out from Plattsburgh, but people as far as Saranac and Tupper Lake, Messina and Lake Placid head up for apples and doughnuts. Hot apple cider in the winter is the best, so try it out. You can wander for hours or head in for quick shopping trip. They always have events going on, and you'll always find nice people who will help you out. It's scout's honor up here in the North Country, so don't go stealing any apples off the trees, but if you want a snack while you're shopping around, no one will object. Just make sure you don't walk out without paying. read more

Love this place. The overall experience is top notch. Great pastries, gift ideas and family friendly especially in the fall. Great location right off the highway. It's a must stop for us. read more

I ordered delivery of apples for my daughter in Portland, Oregon. Told I would see the tracking of the delivery via email and promised they'd go out that Monday, 4 days later, watched for this email. It never came. A week later I called and asked about this order. The manager of deliveries, Mrs. Hatch, told me that the worker was wrong and the delivery would go out the next week. Two weeks later now. After having to call AGAIN and leave a voicemail because no imaginary email ever showed up on the promised new date, I received an email from Mrs. Hatch telling me it would go out the next day with an attached UPS tracking account.Today. Tonight I received an email from UPS telling me that Rulf's cancelled the order. This ridiculous incompetence and run around is unacceptable. Avoid shipping with Rulf's Orchard. Not worth the hassle. read more

This is as cute and ornate of a local orchard you are going to get. Do yourself a favor and buy some apple cider and cider donuts. YUM! They also feature fun things for kids during the season, which is nice for families. You can't go wrong going to any local orchard in the area, so its hard to advocate any one over the other. Rulf's does have a great selection of maple and apple related items (bread, muffins, candy, etc) which I haven't seen in many other orchards though, which makes it stand out. read more

I have always enjoyed a trip to Rulfs whether to buy plants, fresh produce or have lunch in their cafe. But I won't be going back until there is a vaccine for covid. Not one employee was wearing a mask. Some had them but weren't wearing them other didn't even have them. Very disappointed. read more

Rulf's has always been my favorite but more so now that they have the new building! The best homemade donuts and other goodies around, unique gifts too! Service is wonderful and prices are great! For my birthday this year I hade their apple cider donuts instead of birthday cake!! It was awesome!! read more

I have been coming here for years, but there is no social distance happening or people enforcing mask use. They need to adhere to COVID-19 guidelines. The retail store was PACKED people crammed into a tight indoor space with people wearing their masks around their chins. Truly disgusting and sad to see. This was definitely not 50% capacity-- the parking lot was completely full with people parking down the street. Additionally there are no barriers or addition precautions for cashiers. I will not be returning. read more

This was a nice find. Farm fresh produce. They also have great breakfast, lunch,and dinner items. I had the breakfast quesadilla which was yummy and filling. My bf got a bagel egg sandwich which was also good. Worth the stop for fresh food! read more

Love going here but the employees can be a bit rude most of the time unfortunately! Baked goods and donuts are the best! Skip the lunch specials, their over priced and never good! The breakfast quesadilla is the best item on the breakfast! read more

Went here to pick up some corn on the cob since we were camping in the area. Great selection of craft foods from pies, jellies, maple syrup and even homemade ice cream! read more

Great place! Great people! Great apples! We used to live in Plattsburgh and now whenever we visit we go to Rulfs for apples to bring home and doughnuts to eat immediately! They are the best! read more

This pick-your-own orchard offers delicious apples and all kinds of berries throughout the summer season. Their fruits & vegetables are first rate. But sadly their farm stand baked goods are less memorable than their fresh fare. We bought donuts and a small pie there recently. Both LOOKED amazing. But appearances can be deceiving. The donuts were "nothing to write home about" and the scrumptious-looking pie had more "filler" (possibly chunky applesauce) than whole fruits & fresh berries. So disappointed! And the pie was very overpriced for it's mediocre quality. A little 6" pie for over $7 ??!! read more
