    This place was very underwhelming. I came here on a Saturday in the middle of the day. It was pretty busy and there were kids running everywhere. The parking lot is super small. If there are more than a few cars here, it could get very difficult to get into/out of the driveway. You can't go into the orchards at all. This was disappointing because you can literally only go into the barn here. There weren't many people working and there were lots of people here when I was here. They seem to be very under staffed. I wouldn't come back here because this wasn't a pleasant experience at all. I'd rather go to a more spacious orchard where I can relax and enjoy my time.

    Thompson's Cider Mill might not offer pick-your-own apples, but the adorable building still makes for a lovely day in the country. After following some signs down a windy road, you will find a gated entrance to the mill. You drive up a hill and past a beautiful home to find the red building at the top of the driveway. Behind the mill are rows of apple trees to stroll through, though there were few pieces of fruit actually left on the branches when we visited mid-way through October. The shop focuses on selling full-sized items, but allows patrons to sample mulled cider, chilled cider, and even their vast array of apples. However, purchases are limited to bottles of juice and barrels of apples. Pastries, such as cider donuts and apple-pumpkin muffins, are also for sale...exclusively. Both the cold and hot ciders were delicious, but the warm one had been infused with spices, making it extra soothing and seasonal. Both were made right in the mill earlier that day. I also simply loved the option to slice into the apples, as they had close to 20 varieties, many of which I had never heard of. Sampling helped us decide which types to buy. My only issue was that the owner tried to encourage us to pick half-sliced apples from the bins and cut into those versus starting new apples. I understand not wanting to waste food, but I was also not very enthusiastic about eating an apple someone else had touched and that was browning from the open air. Regardless, Thompson's Cider Mill offers a colonial view into juice pressing and makes for a quaint afternoon stop.

    Cider Time it's Apple Season!!!

    The best, freshest cider you've ever had! I highly recommend you come here, it's well worth your time and money! !!

    My friend and I were visiting Croton-on-Hudson for the nearby Jack O'Lantern Blaze at Van Cortlandt Manor and we decided to check out Thompson's Cider Mill to help fill the time while we waited for our ticket entry time. While this cider mill doesn't have pick-your-own apples, it's definitely still worth a trip up if you're in the area. Sadly, we missed the official cider making demonstration as we came on a different day, but the pressing still seemed to be going on when we visited. The barn that was open seemed a bit small, but they offer an incredible number of varieties, including several neither of us had heard of before. We split a basket of apples and each ordered some cider donuts and cider. The cider donuts were incredibly soft and rich, a far cry from some of the unsatisfying, drier versions I've had at the farmer's market before. The cider donuts here are exactly as I had always imagined them to be. The cider itself is by far the best cider I've ever had. The freshness and variety in the apples really shows in the complexity of the flavor. Best of all, they offer samples of cider as well as knives for visitors to go around with and cut off a piece of each apple variety. Extra plus was the adorable dog I played with while we waited for our taxi to arrive.

    Happy 40th anniversary! We look forward to your fresh cider every year!

    Not as advertised. Cider only. No bathroom. No donuts. Disappointed. A lovely drive though.

    I'm sure this place is great for those who want a hard cider tasting. FYI - there's NO apple picking here.

We had a wonderfully impromptu weekend sojourn to Fable Farm this past Saturday to pick up some local cider and donuts. Little did we know that Fable is also home to a slew of chickens and goats who are packed with personality and pluck, and totally made our day with their sweet and adorable antics! We had a great time watching the animals hang out and peck around their spacious pen enclosure, safe from the masked onlookers who came to gawk at the majesty of farmland critters. Honestly, any interactions with cute barnyard characters is a high point to my day, so Fable gets five stars on that alone! We also loved the local farmer's market that sets up here, and even though it was close to closing for the day, we were able to browse around for a bit. I didn't buy anything, but the produce looked fresh and there were lots of other locally made goods like honey and soaps. We'll be back for sure next time when we have more time to look around at all the offerings! The local cider and scrumptious donuts were our initial mission, and they did not disappoint. The cider was juicy and tangy, and I couldn't stop drinking it for the rest of the evening once we got home. I was able to limit myself to one cider donut (brushed with cinnamon sugar - yum!), but that was so difficult! My boyfriend's mom was delighted with the cider donuts we brought home for her, too. I highly recommend checking out Fable Farm for a low-key autumn afternoon activity!

No cover charge and I could eat a dozen donuts. We got the scones and apple strudel as well. Both 12/10! The apple cider is also off the charts. Some of the best I've had. The pies are super fresh and I wanted one of everything! They post that they sell at local DeCicco's as well but can't confirm if it's all flavors... No u pick apples but they have every variety imaginable in the stand and all were fresh like they were picked that day. Plenty of other farm fresh veggies and honey. There is also some spots to eat outside and a food truck with some pizza and bbq options. The road to get here is a little rough. Super narrow and some spots where only one car can pass at a time. There is a parking lot and street parking available. Would very much depend on the time of day and year you are going but we were able to get a spot in front at the end of the day. Would definitely recommend for anyone of all ages especially if you love apple cider donuts!

Around 2pm, they were sold out of pork and wings. Live music outside (country) and several picnic tables outside. Bathroom is an outhouse. The donuts are good - they're the fried kinds. Not super friendly staff. The cheddar scone was suepr dry and tough - it wasn't flaky at all.
