Before you go

A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in New York.

  • Check whether this stop is a stand, orchard tour, or full farm experience before you arrive.
  • Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
  • Arrive earlier in the day for cooler weather and better selection during peak weekends.
  • Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“Amazing place to go as a family for fall season fun. So much to do for kids and adults. The Apple Cider Donuts are amazing! My five year old son had a blast and ran around gleefully everywhere. They also very seriously cleaned and sanitized everything. I repeatedly saw workers going around using the sanitizing fog on all equipment that was in use. There are hand sanitation stations nicely spaced out through the area. Highly recommend going!”

“Awesome Place . This was our 2nd Year Coming as a Family and it looks like a New Yearly Tradition! So much to do and eat. The Staff is very Friendly. We would like to thank Mike the Physical Education Teacher for taking the Time to tell us about the Farm, was very Cool of him. See everyone Next Year!!!”

“Every year we have the same amazing experience. There’s so much to do and the property is so well maintained and beautiful. Staff is super nice. It’s become our favorite fall tradition. The kids count on going. And we count on the kettle corn and cider donuts! Worth every penny!”

“Want to say a big thank you from my family for the tree donation for Tree's for Troops! We picked it up over the weekend and got it decorated! It's a great tree to have for our first Christmas in our new home! Also our dogs love to try and get branches from it!!!”

“It's not bad. It's a giant playground. Expect to spend 90 bucks on a family of 4. They do have country music. They have chicken tenders + hotdogs for kids. Expect to spend 40+ bucks on food and drinks. It's something to do on a Sunday.”

“Amazing place to visit with the whole family and kids. Very well maintained. Get your walking shoes and fitness trackers on, loads to walk between the rides.”

“We went with my 6 grandchildren, ages 2 thru 20. They all enjoyed it. The various rides and attractions were great. Look forward to next year.”

“There is a ton of fun stuff to do here. Why 3 stars. It was $75 for 3 people! The food is not so good and the small pumpkin my son bought to carve on Sunday is rotten from the inside by Thursday. It didn't even make it a week! The kettle corn had no salt, just sugar. The pumpkin ice cream is good. No place had apple cider! It can get very crowded as well. It was a fun 2-4 hours but plan ahead and save your pennies to go. We paid for extra items and they ran out of paint balls. Next time I would not pay for the extras.”
