What’s Pickin’?

This week, the farm stand will only be open on Saturday, October 31 from 9 am to 5 pm. This will be the final day for pick-your-own and the farm stand for the 2026 season.

We will have one variety for pick-your-own:

Granny Smith: Named after Maria Anne Smith in Australia, who spotted the chance seedling growing near the spot where she had previously dumped some French crab apples. In the early 1900s in Australia, this was a famous cooking apple. Now it has spread the world over. Green skin (some have a beautiful pinkish red blush provided by the sun), mostly tart, some sweetness, and crisp. Good for fresh eating and cooking. Will store for a long period. Typically, the longer Granny Smith hangs on the tree, the better and more complex the flavors become. We typically leave a few to hang well into November. Triple frosted, uber sweet, still tart. Takes me to another land filled with SweetTarts candy, neon lights, and glow sticks. I am hoping that this weekend they will have some measure of all of those things packed inside. Either way, be guaranteed that they are not going to taste like the Granny Smith found at the grocery store. This variety is located up the main orchard road on the left-hand side in the Farm Stand Block. 

Granny Smith could be picked out before the end of the day, so we encourage people to come earlier than later. It is a light crop (due to the Spring freeze).

We will have extremely limited quantities of pre-picked apples available at the farm stand.

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

Pomona’s Gifts will be on view near the farm stand on Saturday, October 31, from 9 am to 5 pm.

Pomona’s Gifts is a traveling apple exhibit showcasing over 200 different apple varieties harvested from this region of the Hudson Valley this season. Pomona’s Gifts is a visual representation of a tiny slice of the genetic diversity found in the world of Malus.  Participating orchards include Rose Hill Farm, Montgomery Place Orchards, Hudson Valley Apple Project, Mead Orchards, and Klocke Estate. 


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!
