Fishkill Farms - Hopewell Junction NY

If you’re planning a visit, I highly recommend booking an early time slot. The farm tends to get busy later in the day, especially during peak apple-picking or fall festival weekends, and arriving early gives you a chance to enjoy the peaceful scenery without the crowds. You’ll have more space to explore, take photos, and enjoy the experience at your own pace. For families or groups, wagon rentals are available for just $10, which makes it easy to carry your bags, produce, and little ones around the fields. Between the amazing food, beautiful setting, and well-organized setup, Fishkill Farms offers a perfect day trip for anyone looking to enjoy the best of Hudson Valley’s farm life. Highly recommend!

This is my daughters' favorite farm. Every year, we visit more than ten times during the summer. Even though the drive takes an hour and a half, it is well worth it. I highly recommend it—it’s a lot of fun, especially now with the slide they’ve added. My daughters never want to leave; they stay from 10:00 a.m. when it opens until 5:00 p.m. when it closes. I have a great time with the apple cannons myself! I definitely recommend it.

We drove up from Queens. All the closer orchards were sold out so we did the extra 30 minute drive and were so glad we did. This farm is spread out and has a great variety of apples. The apple cider donuts are by far the best we’ve ever had. Soft, tender and flavorful.. for the donuts alone I’d come back. They also have live music, refreshing squeezed lemonade and lots of food options. You can drive up to the orchard or take their hayride.. would definitely recommend!

Great apple picking experience. Make sure to make a reservation in advance so you can drive your car back to the orchard instead of walking. There is an excellent variety of apples in the orchard. They are clearly marked with which apples are ready to pick and which are not. The orchard has excellent food options for meals while you are there. Don't forget to get their fresh donuts!!

It feels kind of corporate, just being honest. There are tons of activities and it’s super spacious. There’s a market, food truck, bbq pit, plenty of stuff to keep the kids busy and picking. The cider bar is really cool, but the cider itself was just, eh. Listen, this is one persons opinion and judging by the number of customers this farm is doing just fine. Judge for yourself.
