We were introduced to all the horses and donkeys, the goats and the chickens. Kaity was wonderful with my grandson who became more comfortable with the animals and the barn over the visit.

It was a lovely way for my grandson to meet larger animals and start to be comfortable with them.

One of the things I love about exploring the Hudson Valley is discovering places where food,…read morefarming, and community all come together. 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.

Walking inside, it's a different experience at Wright's Farm. This visit, I want to buy a bottle of local wine and some local cheese then go back to the hotel. I see there is a very nice selection of Hudson Valley and regional wines. I also buy a nice local, spreadable cheese along with some crackers. I noticed towards the back, I see a wall of homemade jams. And they're all packaged in these cute mason jars! Strawberry Jelly is a must but then we went a little nutzo with a few more jam flavors as well as homemade apple sauces, fresh cheeses and pickles! Sunday, its check out time and we're heading back to Long Island after breakfast. My wife said we need to go shopping for dinner today. I said, Let's go back to Wright's Farm and pick up dinner? And this was the highlight of our trip. In the cold cases, I see homemade ravioli, one of the stuffings was corn? I had plans to stop in The Bronx and get a few boxes of Raviolis. I gambled and said lets try their corn ravioli. O.M.G. This ravioli was fantastic! My wife made it with fresh sage from our herb garden. It was a little pricey but it was better than anything I had this year. For the week, we bought a large ham steak and a ham hock for pea soup. I saw something interesting, a black futsu squash? I told my wife, lets buy one and take a chance. Amazing! My wife cooked this squash and it came out deelish. Dessert? My sons inhaled the apple cider doughnuts we bought home for them. Wright's Farm, it was a pleasant surprise to discover your local farmstand.

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 knew they would enjoy seeing all the trees on sale there and one of the staff helping us was very friendly and got into a long discussion with my father about various fruit trees.

The latter already has a lot of blueberries on it!

I've been here twice now and both visits have been beyond amazing…read more Kim's Farm is owned by a lovely couple, and they've been here more than 20 years! A bit of a trek from NYC, but definitely a local favorite, and many travel here from far away. I can see why - and let me tell you, IT IS WORTH THE TRIP. Both times, we've had the "baek suk" which is steamed chicken that have been cooking for hours and hours. We've also had "jang uh" which is eel - that is farmed and caught by the owners themselves! This is probably the best chicken and eel I've ever had in my life. The meal also comes with plenty of side dishes. There's no menu, but from what I can gather, the prices are as follows: Eel (Janguh) for 2 people: $30 Chicken soup (Baek suk) for 1 person: $55 Spicy chicken stew (Dakdoritang) for 2 people: $55 Whole pig BBQ for 10 people: $700 Basically, our group of 10 wanted to try everything on the menu except for the pig (save for next time!) and we just called ahead and told them that we didn't need whole portions of everything for every person. I think the owners portioned the dishes based on what we wanted, and it was perfect! It ended up being about $50pp for tax and tip. Pricey, but well worth it. Make sure to call in advance! Everything is cooked to order, and it's really helpful for them to know exactly what time you arrive. Wonderful, wonderful meal. Can't wait to be back!

I have plenty of experience with Korean food from visits to this Asian country, and I have to say the food served at Kim's Farm is very authentic, but also unique in that they source the food from its own farm, including the grilled freshwater eel which is raised on location. Apart from the eel I also had "Dak bokkeum tang" (spicy braised chicken) which was just as delicious. The sweet lady who owns the restaurant/resort told me that their peak season is usually Spring-Summer, so unfortunately I missed out on a few highlights of coming here, but if I'm ever in the area again I sure know a great spot to come back to with friends and family!

Came here for lavender picking by the bucket and we had such an incredible time relaxing, walking around the fields, taking photos and hearing the music of the bees as we walked through the fields. If you stop for a moment, you hear their little choir in perfect synchrony. Came here during the week and it was very quiet and not too many people were around so it was perfect. Absolutely obsessed with the lavender lemonade and all the lavender products. The best part about this place is that there's no fee to walk around or hang around the fields. You pay for what you pick and they have different sizing options. Lavender is only seasonal of course but you can find out what they have in season of pick the beautiful wildflowers if they're around. To be honest just coming out here to relax is an experience itself. They have continuous different types of workshops available done right at the open area (it has a cover so in case it's too hot or it rains you're good!). Make sure to check out what classes and things they have going on on their ig or on their website. Bottom line, gorgeous space, dreamy vibes and incredible owners.
