Fishkill Farms

We had a perfect day! There were tons of cherries for the kids to pick. (Sorry Mother Nature reclaimed the strawberries!) The hay ride was a huge hit--practically a roller coaster for the preschoolers-- and the vista was stunning. We were especially impressed with the food and drink situation. The rice bowl was gluten free and delicious. The kids enjoyed burgers and hot dogs. But the unexpected hit was the hummus! My husband called it the best picking farm we've been to, and we've been to a bunch.

Extremely Disappointed ? Felt Misled and Disrespected I had a terrible experience at this farm. We booked a blueberry picking session just one day before, and everything seemed confirmed. However, late the night before our visit, they abruptly canceled our appointment?with no prior warning that cancellations could even happen. It?s incredibly frustrating that they would post available time slots, let people book with excitement, and then cancel just hours later. What?s the point of offering bookings if th

Really enjoyed the time we spent here. Apple picking was fun. The BBQ grill opened at 11am and every food was so good. The farm shop had many things to buy. We bought a canned sparkling apple cider. It's really refreshing and delicious!?????????? Many people come here so plan your trip early.

I went almost ending the season but still there were a bunch of apples and pumpkins! The guys that drive the trucks were very nice and the trip around the field was great. We could get down in the pink lady apple side and the Fuji and a couple more, and at the end we just try the apple cider that they make with their own apples, fun stuff to do!

Been coming to Fishkill Farms for the past 10 years. You are able to reserve a spot and spend the whole day. So many activities to do and things to see. Loved the apple cider donuts each time. The options for apples are endless. Bring comfortable footwear. You can bring your own food or enjoy their food trucks! Staff is extremely helpful and friendly, especially Michael!

Large and very busy farm during the apple picking season. They definitely do well in attempts to get as many people around to enjoy some apple and pumpkin picking by reservation ahead of time. If you are just visiting without a reservation you can get some okay food, their own cider on tap and of course the donuts. Expect to wait in line for a bit though as there are a lot of people here. Overall I would say it is worth it to visit and take in the sights and explore the grounds a bit as part of an orchard

I had really fun. It was a field trip! Although it was raining, the scenery was beautiful and breathtaking.

A couple girlfriends and I took MetroNorth up to Beacon for a Saturday to go apple picking at Fishkill Farms! It was a quick Uber ride away after about 1.5 nour train ride from the city. You reserve a slot ahead of time, and it's $58 for up to five people for a 1 half-bushel bag (plenty for the group). They have rows and rows of apple trees, and good signage for the varieties and what is already picked. The apples were all so fresh and juicy, can't compare to what you get at the grocery store. We didn't pa

The place is very nice and huge to have some spare activities. The workers are great and well organized and attentive. The fruit trees are well planted and taken cared of properly. There stores are well organized and the prices are great.

Reservation online for picking. Reschedule for different times same day if needed. The location was easy to find, signs. Very helpful staff. Check in and you get a map and bag for picking. Our families first time going apple and pear picking at this location. There was so much fruit to pick from and signs to state what fruit was ripe. The food choices were great options. Hamburger, hot dogs, grilled corn, homemade mac and cheese. Apple ciders and sodas. Other food options for vegetarians are vegan burger

We had a wonderful time at Fishkill Farms! The apple trees were loaded with fruit, making for a fun and plentiful picking experience. Some of the apples were just a bit out of reach, so we carried each other on the shoulders to make it lol. The farm is a perfect spot for family outings or a cozy date with your partner. Highly recommended.

Maybe we were a little late for the strawberry season because we had to search for nice ripe strawberries to pick. Anyways, we were able to pick and fill our pictured carton holder thing. We enjoyed the scenery. The strawberry jam is good. The strawberries is sweet. We had the cinnamon donuts, that was good. We give it a 4.5 because we had to search for nice strawberries.

I love it here! I visit at least once or twice a year every year. Apple, blackberry & strawberry picking. I love the outdoor cider bar with breathtaking views. Tim, the bar manager, was super nice and accommodating! ???? I just love this place. A cool local farm to do fruit picking and hayrides. The store has cool local goodies to buy. I got Black currant Jam and Blueberry Lavender cocktail mix. I can?t wait to whip up something with gin! ??That cider bar, they also serve a dry Rose?, is a nice place to sit

Wonderful selection of apples! The orchards are maintained well. Apple picking would be a great fall activity for the family. It would be a great activity for a nice cool fall day. Make sure to wear appropriate footwear. Boots and sneakers are a must. There will be a lot of fallen fruits on different stages of rotting. Numerous bees attracted to the fruits and smells. There will be damp wet areas. I almost wiped out on a muddy puddle. The farm store was small and cute. I would not recommend the apple cider

Fishkill Farms was a great experience! We did the pick-your-own this past weekend and got a huge bag of apples. We got there early, and there was plenty of parking and detailed signage on what kinds of apples were there and what?s in season. The food was also good, and the apple cider donuts were the best I?ve ever had

We visit yearly, this is our go to spot for strawberry picking but this year we opted to go cherry picking instead. Plenty of cherries but they weren?t sweet?expensive for what you get (4 pints of cherries that you pick yourself for $58) but you?re really paying for the experience rather than the product. It is pretty well organized and not as chaotic compared to other farms I?ve been to. The grill and cider tasting restaurant both are worth a visit. I will continue to visit yearly but won?t be back for the

On Saturday, we embarked on an excursion to engage in cherry picking at Fish Kill Farm, an exemplary location for this activity. The entry fees, which included a box of cherries, were remarkably reasonable. The topography of the farm, with its picturesque valley, added to the scenic ambiance. We also had the opportunity to observe Apple and peach trees. There were diverse varieties of cherries available. I would highly recommend revisiting this destination.

It was an awesome place to spend the day with family and friends. There is a great variety of delicious foods, a wonderful bake shop and store. The hayride was fun! The orchid was large with every variety of apples you can imagine. There was also a little pumpkin patch. There were so many happy faces enjoying the spread of fun thought out! You are in for a great treat when you decide to take a trip with your family. I had a ball with family and friends.

Reserve online and the price paid already includes fruit picking boxes and admission for up to five people! This is a good deal since I have also been to farms where there are also entry fees. Many types of fruits are available on this farm including cherries, blueberries, apples, strawberries, raspberries, and even currants. This is a very large property and note that there are hayrides to get around.

Never had been to a farm like the Fishkill Farm, it?s a really amazing place, you can call it wonder land. Right here, you not only can pick up the freshest fluids, but also can go for a walk. My wife and I love the peaches the most, and secondly, we also love the Asian pears and honey-crisps . they are all juice and sweat.

Cute apple picking farm! You can hop on the train at Grand Central and it's a short Uber ride from the train stop. We came near the end of the season so most of the apples had been picked but there were still plenty. They had live music, corn maze, pumpkin fields, hot food, and ciders! While it was cute, it felt a bit small. I wished there were a bit more activities.

We went apple picking on Saturday. We made the reservation online. Pick-your-own up to 5 people and 1 half bushel bag was $58. We got lots of apples. Corn maze was okay ($5/ person). They already have different pumpkins for sale. Apple cider donuts were delicious. We brought our lunch so we didn't buy any food but the food for line was long. The food looked yummy! So if I visit during weekdays, I would try. Overall, we enjoyed our time there.

Way too crowded even with timed reservations. Long lines for everything especially for apple cider donuts took about 1 hour with one dozen limit per group. We brought sandwiches and avoided waiting in the long food lines but tried the cider which was ok but expensive for a small cup. All the restrooms are porta potties. Farm is pretty big with so many apple variations and free wagons to bring you around but the line to get on was long too and later we decided to just walk. A bag of apples can hold maybe 40

We went apple picking this past weekend and had a great experience. It is a Beautiful orchards you can drive right into. Their sparking apple cider is delicious! There is No admission fee or parking fee a bag for apples is $58 and it admits up to 5 people into the farm. The donut line was very long so couldn?t grab any.

Insane! So many apples! Your ticket includes a bag of apples but you can buy more and get pumpkins too. The hayride is a good way to get around the orchards but be prepared to see lots. The food area has a lot of options and drinks too but the lines can be crazy on the weekend

Very crowded, I wish they would advise us upon entering where there are a lot of apples. We walked along so many areas of just bare trees. There's great scenery for beautiful pictures. The grill and bakery need more employees, waiting 45 minutes to an hour on line just to order is crazy.

Went here for cherry picking. They also have strawberry, apples and blackberries. Reasonably priced, lots of parking, scenic views. Highly recommended.

Love this farm! Went during the month of October and there was so much to do. Make sure to make an appointment in advance if you plan to pick apples in season. There were food trucks and tons of goodies in their farm store. Make sure to pickup a six pack of their apple cider.

Beautiful and well run farm and orchard! Great Cider Donuts! Lots of food options on the weekend. Pick ur own requires reservations through their website and must be prepaid?so is the hard cider tasting?good place to spend a couple of hours.

Love it here. Highly recommend to get reservations in high season. Staff is friendly and market has a variety of things to choose from. Berry and cherry picking was so much fun. Can?t wait to come back for apple picking season!

Loved the area it was very picturesque and refreshing. The day which started out cool warmed up and fabulous. It's a great place to go with girlfriends, coworkers and family. Pick best apples straight from trees and wipe them off and eat. They have apple cider and excellent Mexican food stand. They could make a killing with some candy apples but that is the only thing they don't have. Overall go it was best day trip.

I have done pick-your-own fruits and vegetables at Fishkill Farms twice now. The farm is very well maintained, and has organic certification. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I also appreciate that they manage admissions with reservations which they only release slots for if there is enough crop to harvest. Their Emperor Francis cherries were absolutely amazing in the first week of July. And in mid-July, we got a lot of zucchini, various peppers, eggplant, and string beans in their vegetable garden,

A hidden gem. Food was great especially the apple cider. You can refill as many cups as you want but it?s not cheap. Beautiful scenery.

We came during the off-season on a weekday, but even so the offerings and attentiveness here wasn?t great. Highlight: The view from the windows on a beautiful clear day. The wine selection was local and so enticing. Lowlight: We smelled something baking like the fresh smell of apple cider donuts. But when we went closer to the smell, the only baked offering was bread. Another lowlight: There was no wine sampling at the moment or offered to us even though we sat down at the tables.

So friendly. You can drive around and wait near to the farm

"LGreat farm, but not the best experience for couples. If you have kids and are looking for a fun family outing, this is definitely one of the best farms I?ve been to in Westchester. They have an amazing variety of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and more. The food market is also fantastic ? we had oysters, fire-roasted corn, and of course, donuts ??. The view is absolutely stunning! Now for the downside... the price for apple picking is $58, which includes a large bag that holds about 45-65 apples (according

Great spot to bring kids for fruit and berry picking. Only wish they had more of a food scene and places for kids to play, then we?d never go anywhere else!

The farm is nice. The organization of the fruits picking is professional. The parking is plenty. There is an area to sit and chill and also the area to dine in. We didn't try the food here but it looks good. The farm shop could be better. Things are a bit expensive.

Our second time visiting Fishkill Farms. The staff is nice and professional. We went when they had their Harvest Fall Festival, there were a lot of people but it was well organized. They had 3 food trucks and a band. The line for their apple cider donuts was long but it was worth it. They have tons of apples, some veggies and herb in their orchard. It was a wonderful experience!

We had a Very nice and relaxing day it?s a beautiful farm we went last Sunday and This is the perfect time for you to get your apples, it?s a bit pricey you have to make a reservation and the entrance is $46 dollars and 5 more per extra person, they give you a sack for your apples but if you want pears or something else it?s separate price. Still very fun??

I?ve been to Fishkill Farms several times now and just reviewing because this place is AMAZING!! Such a nice escape from the city to the best ?Pick-Your-Own? farm around. Whether it?s in the summer for berries and tomato?s or fall for pumpkins and apples, they have it all! I?ve had the best apple of my life here! There eco certified and organic produce is delicious every time. It?s one of the best experiences of my life tasting the freshness that is grown here. As a culinarian it?s a must stop if you want t

Farm fresh goodness in the Hudson Valley. Delicious non GMO fruits and vege. We have been doing the Summer CSA for years and look forward it to every time. Sure there are no lack of farms to go to in the region but Fishkill manages to retain its sense of a small family run spot. Be warned, it's not built or designed to handle hundreds of tourists from the city like a mega farm (like say Barton Orchards) so if you show up on nice weekend you can expect to wait to get in.

It's one of the best farms in NY. I am really glad I visited. Everyone is super friendly and everything is delicious. It's an hour and 15 minutes from NYC but really worth the drive. There is a train can take you nearby and you can grab a taxi for a very short ride. From strawberry to blueberry to cherry to apple to grapes picking plus different kinds of vegetables. Country music is fun to hear in such place. They have Yoga, dancing and barbecue and many other activities for kids and adults.

Parfect family outing spot from NYC. It is just 80 mins driving from Queens New York.Huge farms 270 acres of land with 100 years of history. We went for cherry picking on June 22nd, 2024. Must try their complementary tructor ride. A nice farm shop inside to try fresh eggs/veggies/ice cream.

Recommended. Great for a day trip from the city, especially with children. Excellent apple picking (along with pears, beans, flowers, pumpkins, nectarines, peaches and vegetables & herbs). Can drive your car throughout the farm. There is also a tractor that makes stops at each picking area if you don?t want to drive. Fresh cider and donuts to enjoy after picking. While very well attended did not feel crowded at all. Grill serving up burgers, dogs, chicken and corn. Love music and games. Compact market selli

A PYO Orchard in a class to its own! Represents the agricultural industry, NYS and elevated rural hospitality at its best without going overboard in an inappropriate hipster or progressive manner.

Apple picking here is a super fun experience, and we went while it was raining! They have a great area for cider, live music, and an awesome farm store. The food is super overpriced and meh. You?re going to pay $10 for a supermarket burger patty.

this place was amazing. my family and i picked a bunch of apples and my wife managed to pick one of the sweetest and juiciest pears ive ever had in my life. that pear was the first pear my 1 year old ate and she ate it down to the core. theres also some guy playing the violin who was super funny and helpful. the flower field was small but my daughter such a fun time in it and i managed to take such a beautiful video of her. the doughnuts and apple cider were also very delicious. definitely going back when s

My friends and I go try to go every year for those wonderful fall vibes and tasty apple cider donuts. 10/10 cozy af

We have been trying out different farms for both Apple and Pumpkin picking over the last few years. I've known of Fishkill Farms for a while now and that is has received great and consistent reviews. We finally visited last weekend for Apple Picking. The drive from the Bronx was about an hour and a half up the Taconic. Directions are easy and out navigation found the "9 Fishkill Farm Rd." address fine. We arrived at around 11:30-12 PM on a Saturday. Once you arrive, you will be asked if you are picking or n

Wonderful place to spend a day with the family. They have a lot of different activities throughout the year. All the farms stuff like picking berries, fruits and vegetables. Quite often there are live music and performance being held. Kids can feed few bunnies and hens. The store is great even though it is small. And of course grill and donuts are really good here.

Went Cherry Picking for the first time. Huge farm, well kept. I paid about $60 after taxes for the reservation which is up to 5 ppl and comes with 4 quarts. Be sure to take their wagon down to the orchard. You're free to pick additional fruit (berries, peaches, et) will be charged upon exit for any fruit not included in your reservation. We will be back in the Fall for apple picking!

I went there with my couple of friends to picking up Berry fruits. When we have been there and parked vehicles over there! I think it was a private farm and she might be owner of the farm! When we were going to picking up Berry fruits and than she was yellow at us saying that "don?t come back again and don't Park the car over here". She was rude, disrespectful to us. We don't know that it was private farm. Otherwise we won't be there!!

I came just in time for peaches, pears, and apples all at the same time. It was quiet enough that there was no need to race to pick stuff before someone else comes. The pricing makes sense for how many ripe, extremely fresh fruits we got. The store's apple cider & doughnuts were great, and while I'm not sure if the apple & blackberry ice cream was made in house or just locally sourced, it hit just the right balance between sweet and tart.

Blackberries were ripe! We went for the berries and stayed for the ciders. Great 2 hours out with the kids. Open spaces for social distancing. Customer service was helpful and kind.

We first visited during a weekend, it was insane, but fun. We returned during a week day, much more peaceful, but then you have to go to town for lunch - not a problem. The store isn't worth, but the fresh donuts are! The pumpkin picking will cost you as much as it would in an expensive grocery store in NYC. Be ready to sell a kidney if you have more than one kid. On the bright side: it's fun.

Great place to pick apples during fall season. They have the best Apple cider drinks and fresh tasting donuts. I come here every year! A must place to visit and enjoy your weekend with family and friends.

I love taking the kids to this farm. They are located about 1hr 20 min North of the city and well worth the drive there. The scenic views are incredible especially during the peak fall season. They always have the best varieties of apples. It is a very large Orchard so it never really feels overcrowded. They have lots of fun activities during the harvest festival month.The market sells great fresh produce and some extra finds you dont see in the city. The staff is super friendly and the food is great. They

I wouldn?t recommend the fruit picking because of all the expensive charges involved. (See below). However, I do find a lot of solace visiting the farm and the views are incredibly reminiscent of Italy. Absolutely love the farm made sparkling ?? apple cider and donuts are still my favorite. Donuts ?? are delish, but could be a little less oily? Past apple ?? picking experience: On our car of five people they made $25! By charging an entire car full of people at $5 per person plus the cost of food, apple

My son and his bud thought it would be fun to get together and go apple picking. Fishkill farms was the perfect getaway from NYC. We enjoyed the veggie burger, fried chicken and waffle sliders, and pumpkin ice cream. Did we mention the Oktoberfest lager? There's definitely a good selection to choose from. We'd suggest you take the hayride after parking your car, otherwise be prepared for a lot of walking. The prices are decent. The only thing we didn't like was the port-a-potty. Other than that, we'd recomm

I've been to 2 different apple farms before coming here. My coworker suggested it because I'm into sustainable and organic foods. It was beautiful and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The apple cider donuts were amazing and the pumpkin ice cream Mmmm. I went during the week when it wasn't as crowded but I missed out on the weekend food. They have so many things to pick in the summer I will definitely be coming back next year. My kids chased bunnies and butterflies and they're 13 and 11 so th

We went to the farm for blueberry picking on a Tuesday morning. It?s so quiet, we really enjoy our time there. Their prices are very reasonable, and the farm is massive with a shop and cafe. Btw, the small blueberry is super sweet, and the big one actually is sour to our taste.

My second time going to a farm this is my first time going to Fishkill Farm. This is by far the biggest farm I've ever gone to. All sorts of Apples and vegetables. Call before you visit to see what's in season. We went there to pick Apples and pears. Plenty of parking to your right side once you enter the property. Parking is not paved. Automobile not permitted beyond second entrance. Also a store where you can buy Fishkill Farm products, water sodas and other goodies. There is a tractor with two carts tha

Went for cherry picking season. This farm is kept really well and love the tractor ride to the main picking area. Food at the stand always fresh and nice flavor.

Great place to hang out with kids for apple Picking and other activities. You will see so many people around this time during weekend.

I love this Farm, every year we go there for apple picking . It?s a beautiful scenic place, very big and so much to do. Best time to visit is mid to end September. They have fresh grilled corn on near the entrance oh and their apple cider donut ??.. so good! Can?t wait to be back next year ??

Amazing. We come here for apple picking every year. The farm is very well maintained and made easy to get around. My kids love it . We always have an amazing experience and make memories here as a family. The apples and pumpkins are top notch. Love the products and experience.

Great cider selections, fresh farm specialties, wonderful ambiance. Super friendly. VERY nice place!

The best apple/pumpkin farm Upstate NY. Dog friendly. They have amazing homemade donuts and apple ciders.

Ideal apple picking and fall fun. The orchards were massive, even though we went later in the season there were plenty of ripe apples on the trees with about 12 different varieties. The grounds are kept clean and organized. It wasn't overcrowded and there were other activities for the family (hayrides, corn maze, pumpkin picking, and a play area made of hay bales for the kids). The food was a little pricey for what you got, so I'd eat before or after. The shop is fun and the apple cider donuts are worth the

It is a family friendly place. Love to come here. I did last year a few times apple picking and this year I'm already here following the calendar for pick your own options. Came to pick up some strawberries. The farm is great and huge. I can tell you the strawberries are sweet and delicious. And if you are coming for apple picking later in the Summer they have so many options. Make reservation for your ticket and enjoy it. During the weekend they have food available in the food court, tables and you can do

Always a good experience here. Beautiful orchards you can drive right into. Allowed to bring your own food to picnic outside. But they do have delicious food for sale as well as a cider bar with wrap around porch that allows for gorgeous views of the orchard. Live music as well. Used to be inexpensive pre-covid but now $48 for admission for 5 people with 1 bag to fill with apples.

We love to visit this farm every year, especially during the pumpkin season. They have cool hay rides, delicious donuts, their own farm store as well live music during the weekend

Awesome for the whole family. Not crazy overcrowded like Harvest Moon, but maybe that is because I was early in the season. Great authentic adult apple ciders. Don't miss all of the little sude experiences that kids love - hay bails, corn maze, chickens, etc.

Went strawberry picking for the first time last year with my 1 year old and mom we had a blast. Definitely picked more than we could store in our house, so gave out mini strawberry bags to coworkers and neighbors. Went back a few weeks later for cherries, picked enough to make several pies and share with family and friends. Went back again for apples in fall. It was a rainy but warm day and still had fun ... haven?t gone this year due to COVID. Maybe we will go soon, just hesitant given our societies climat

This year pick your own for peach season was very light with pickers. It was really nice but the sun very hot this year. You also have to make reservations to do the pick your own.

Great place for apple picking and fresh apple cider donuts! You do need a reservation if you?re going in 2020. We had a great family day here. It does get pretty crazy in the fall, but we came early (as soon as they opened) and it wasn?t too crowded at all. The little ones loved the tractor ride and seeing all the animals!

Best Time Ever !!! Benches , picnic tables are distanced and everywhere. Each area sanitizing stations. Reservations for HayRide Apple picking which simply enjoyable! A fun learning unique creative environment for kids!!

Great family fun place to visit. The farm has a large variety of apples grown yearly. They also have pumpkins for picking as well as peaches, pears, peppers, eggplants. Many of the farm hands are of Caribbean descent so if you are Caribbean, particularly Jamaican the men and women are pleased to great you in the familial broken English (patwa). The workers sell Jerk Chicken and roasted corn so support them! The farm has delicious apple cider donuts that draws long lines. There is also Mexican pick me up mea

Brought 3yr old berry picking. Had a blast. Got some amazing blueberries, strawberries, currents and black raspberries. Well worth the trip.

We had a really nice day at the farm. Live music, burgers, donut, hard cider ???just an advice if you are going apple picking you need to make reservations ?????? which I understand due to covid, but we were unable to go apple picking because we didn?t have any reservations. My bad for not checking before arriving.

We had a great time picking apples at this historic, Hudson Valley farm. I feel like it was a little overpriced, but maybe that's just how it is in 2024! The apples were delicious. A great way to get outside and enjoy the autumn air.

Apple picking . Family friendly, has parking,porta-pottie. Pay for the bags and pick the apples of your liking until the bag is full. Car Search upon exit.relaxing place

Best place in NY for Apple picking. Only about 1 hour and 30 minutes from Long Island. Great choices from Gala to Empire apples. Try the cinnamon sugar donuts.

After a beautiful scenic drive the experience at Fishkill farms was pleasing. Nicely social distanced for us guest ample parking and a very nice variety of item to choose from in the store. Look forward to my next visit.

Great place to spent time with your family, especially if you have little ones with you. Do bring something to pick apples from the tall branches, cuz a lot of the good ones are really high up. Don't forget to get their apple cidar donut and the apple cidar. The queue for the donut is usually long, so if you think it's short be sure to check whether you're seeing the whole queue. I mistook the middlr of the queue for the end of the queue. Better to queue there in the beginning.

It's a wonderful farm but crowded. A large variety of pick your own apples. $5 a person to get in. Some people were tailgating in the parking lot. Lots of parking and dog friendly. They have a produce store, food carts, and a cider shop in the front. I would have liked to check the cider out but wanted to avoid the crowd.

The farm has a lot and different kind of apple trees. I was just for apple picking so I don?t know what to say about other fruits/vegetables. It is possible to pick also flowers. The prices for the bags are reasonable. The activities for kids can definitely have an improvement. They doesn?t have a lot of tables outside but they have food and drinks to sell. Reservations is highly recommended.
