We grow cherries, blueberries, plums, apricots, peaches and apples on ~114 acres of picturesque farmland. We embrace ecological growing practices that prioritize plant and soil health.

What’s Pickin’?
This Thursday, August 6, at 3 pm, we will open up PF9A-007, Starfire, Redhaven, Blazingstar, and Glohaven peaches for pick-your-own.
PF9A-007, Starfire, Redhaven, and Blazingstar are located on rows 2-3 in the Young Peach Block which is located up the main orchard road and is the first block of peaches on the left. Glohaven is located on rows 1-2 in the Baby Peach Block which is located up the main orchard road and is the first block of peaches on the right. This will be the first year that we harvest peaches from the Baby Peach Block that was planted in 2023.
This Saturday, August 8, at 9 am, we will open up PF15-A, John Boy, and PF 17, which are located on rows 4-5 in the Young Peach Block.
Don’t get get bogged down in the peach varieties too much this week! We will have them labeled, but there isn’t much need. All of the globe peaches that we have for picking and available pre-picked at the farm stand are yellow fleshed and freestone, meaning that the stone, or seed, or pit (however one wants to name it), breaks away from the flesh of the peach easily. The peaches this week are RIPE and INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS, and the aroma is HEAVENLY.
What do people experience here when it comes to peaches, and fruit in general, that they may or may not experience elsewhere? We place an emphasis on TREE-RIPENED fruits. Ripe peaches are incredibly difficult to transport, so they don’t make it very far. The final days of ripening are when most of the sugars develop. If the peach is removed from the tree prior to being truly ripe, we are robbing ourselves of what the peach can be—softer, sweeter, and tangier. What people can have here this week is a PEACH EXPERIENCE.
At the farm stand, we will have limited quantities of pre-picked Tango I, which is the yellow donut peach, and plenty of pre-picked globe peaches.
All 5 varieties of blueberries are still available for picking! That’s Reka, Blueray, Chandler, Darrow, and Elliott. There are LOADS of blueberries available for the harvest!
This may be the last week of picking for Reka and Blueray.
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!
