My husband and I went to Kelder's farm on a SUPER SLOW Thursday evening. We intended to JUST pick…read moreapples, but some cider and donuts and go home. We likely would have dropped an easy $60 that night. However when we went to pay for the apple picking we were told that we EACH had to pay an admission fee which was over $20 EACH just to pick apples. Understandable if it was busy but this was 5:20pm and they were closing at 6. We didn't have kids with us and so we asked the guy in charge if the $40 plus dollar fee (this DOES NOT include the apple picking fee) could be waived and were met by a smugness that was off putting to say the least. We have been coming to this farm for 30 years. We live locally and have never experienced this there before. I know these places make a TON of money with this over the top Agri-entertaining but to turn away LOCALS with a $40 plus fee when the place is totally empty is poor business and certainly not how to be a good neighbor! So we left and will never return.

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.

Wonderful outdoor summer spot!

The employees told us they were new, and could not tell us where particular fruit was located in the orchard (various types of apples, asian pears). The pricing was explained, and we went and picked. When we came back, the pricing was different (more) and although we asked for an explanation of the difference, we were just told we owed the higher price. Some baked goods (large cookies) were available to purchase as singles, but the donuts only came as a dozen (no singles or half-dozen available). The experience would have been improved by a map of where the fruit varieties were located (and/or signs in the orchard itself), ability to purchase some baked goods in smaller quantities, and a better understanding/explanation of pricing. We have been to several pick-your-owns in Ulster County, and most if not all of the others provide clear pricing, directions to what is available to pick, and the ability to select a single donut or cookie, and half dozen, or a dozen to purchase.

Heck, I even found a papaya and mangoes which I bought one of each! The shelves are well-stocked and to make matters even better, depending on the prepared sides, salads, etc- are made with some of the vegetables that are grown and sold here. Service is fantastic and it is what it is on price.

Came with almost 30 peaches. Definitely worth the price especially since these are fresh picked and taste like candy! They also let you sample some of the fruit they have on season so that's definitely a nice touch! Apple cider is a must! Non pasteurized and made fresh with their apples. They sell it in a half gallon and gallon portion. Soooooo good! Apples, peaches and tomatoes are also sold by the box at great pricing. Perfect for splitting up with a friend. Fresh things available all during season. Would def come back for more!

It stands apart from other campsites for…read moreits ample space (and therefore privacy at each site), views of rolling hills, and a wonderful host that makes your stay personal and comfortable. For my husband and me, it was like a lovely cross between a bnb/camping experience, because we were lucky to spend a morning chatting with Wally over his delicious breakfast sandwiches and coffee--but if you want a secluded, private experience, that is easily yours as well at this lovely farm campsite. Instead of feeling like you're all on top of each other with tent site after tent site like at many places, you have an entire verdant hill all to yourself, with nice flat places for tent set-up, a firepit, and chairs. It is quiet, peaceful, and beautiful, and we slept well on our overnight stay. We arrived really late but that was no problem. The site is charged per person, so it may be more expensive than other places that charge per site, but if you want to exchange a bit of extra money for a much more pleasant space, this may be worthwhile for you. Please note no potable water faucet. We didn't make use of the shower option, but he said one can be installed at your request. The farm is about 15 minutes from New Paltz, so really convenient for anyone headed that way, or toward the Mohonk Preserve for the multitude of outdoor activities there. Wally is a great host with great stories, life experiences, and philosophies, and we look forward to staying there again sometime. Thanks Wally!
