Great experience today -- went apple picking w/ the wife & our poodle (yes, dogs are allowed). We…read moreall enjoyed our time at Riiska Brook Orchard. Place was not crowded at all, and there were a variety of apples to pick from. We appreciated that the rows of apple trees were labeled, you don't often find that at other orchards. Scenic views also (and the ride to the orchard was very scenic too). Staff was super-friendly, and the apple cider is the BOMB (we took a sip before departing and realized how awesome it was, so I ran back in to purchase another 1/2 gallon). Also, we picked up two butternut squash for only a dollar a piece -- a savings of at least $5, and it tasted way better than what you get in a supermarket, We will definitely be back again !

The most unique is definitely the Seoul Rueben which is not something I expected. The meat was great and the sauce was savory but still on the sweeter end of the spectrum. Definitely not authentic to pass off as true Korean fusion but definitely something that the curious should try. Overall if you're in the area definitely check this place out!

I get plants here in the spring for my garden and I also love coming in the fall for pumpkins, gourds, and apple cider donuts. Everyone that works there is so friendly and will always answer questions. They have helped me over the years with my garden. If you need a party catered or even a cake, Freunds is the place! One of my favorite things is their raspberry white chocolate scones!! So good! I highly recommend stopping in if you are in the area!!

This place is AH-mazing!!…read more They have fruits, vegetables, frozen meals like Eggplant Parm and Chicken Pot Pie (had it for supper-SO good!), and much more! Fudge, baked goods, jams and jellies, pickles, fudge... I could go on and on! Definitely stop in if you are ever in the area! (Fyi, it is not far from the Yale Summer School for Music and the Arts.)

We arrived in the shoulder season between blueberry and apple picking. Neither were perfectly ripe,…read morebut the grounds are lovely to walk around. We chose to get two pints of blueberries and a bag of apples. Apple options even early in the season were varied and tasty. Highly recommend for a lovely area and perfect way to spend an afternoon.

The horses, Whiskey and Red, were very gentle, obviously well trained and cared for. It's a mix of terrain, from woods, hills, to paved road.

I said in the phone call we said 2pm and I even confirmed the second time with her. Then she said maybe it's because my English is not well? Excuse me? Though I'm not a native speaker, I believe I can fluently communicate with people in English based on the several years of my communication with people in the States. It's already disappointed that I missed the horse-riding and her attitude makes me feel even worse. Maybe my English is not good enough to try to come back here again or recommend to anyone else.
