“Absolutely love this place wide selection of apples and when you go into the little store where they've already pick the apples if you don't feel like walking and picking your own they have fresh honey and a few other things staff is very nice very helpful very generous definitely be going back year after year from now on edit we went here last year sorry about the delay in the review”

“I don't come here to pick apples, I just want to eat them. Cold Spring Orchard has the most interesting and tasty varieties, different each time you go. Best quality and greatest variety of apples anywhere and I'll travel hours to get them!”

“My favorite place to go apple picking in the fall! Great selection of fresh apples to pick, not too bad on the price. The apples that fall that are not picked go to feed animals and are not just thrown away, great place!”

“This is my second year picking up a few bushels of apples that they donated to our WIC program. These folks are great, I also take the family every year around the fall for apple picking.”

“Great choice of apples as well as pears and cider. Beautiful setting, nice people”

“Attended a grape pruning workshop, learned a lot.”

“A little hard to find, maybe, and definitely off the beaten path. Can't speak for the pick your own experience as it was closed for the season when we got there. I can say that the apple cider they have is excellent. It might sound obvious but their cider tastes like apples, whereas a lot of cider from other orchards is just a bit too sweet for me. This cider is very refreshing and not overly sweet but it is not tart in any way.”

“Can’t Apple pick during the week? What! Why? But I can buy apples in their store and they are open but not allowed to pick apples off of a tree during the week. Why!?”
