What’s Pickin’?

We will not have any more pick-your-own this season until Saturday, October 31, when we will have Granny Smith pick-your-own and a hopefully really beautiful final day of picking in the orchard for this year.

The farm stand will be open this weekend with pre-picked apples, including two varieties that are new this week:

Esopus Spitzenburg: New this week! Originated in Esopus, NY and know prior to 1776. Believed to be Thomas Jefferson's favorite apple. Usually medium-sized, with greenish yellow skin covered with varying shades of red. Sometimes waxy, sometimes matte finish. Beautiful russet dots and lenticels. Yellowish flesh, with a supremely divine flavor. Sweet and sharp in all of the best ways. Multi-purpose excellence - its eats wonderfully, cooks well, dries amazingly, makes excellent cider. This apples does it all and at the highest standards.

Golden Russet: New this week! Originated in Burlington County, New Jersey in the late-18th century. Mostly russeted skin, sometimes with a golden blush on the sun facing cheek. Greenish-yellow flesh with that is crisp, juicy, and aromatic. Sweet with some acidity. A real classic apple that we are fortunate to still have after all these years. Another very versatile fruit that shines for fresh eating, in the kitchen, and cider-making.

We will have limited quantities of other varieties available at the farm stand, pre-picked only.

We also have plenty of pumpkins, jams, honey, and fresh cider available, as well as T-shirts and hats.


Join us in the taproom Thursday through Sunday for locally-crafted drinks and food pop-ups. Keep an eye on our events calendar for upcoming live music, featured ferments (tastings by other NYS makers), classes, festivals, ticketed dinners, and more. See you soon!
