At the Farm Market

Our own fresh picked sweet cherries are available at the market. Delicious blueberries are also available.

Raspberries are beginning to come in too.

Strawberries are still available but are now smaller in size. The flavor is great though.

We are still making our own cider and you can find that in the showcase. Pure apple cider made here on our farm.

The Farm Market is open daily from 9:30am to 5:30pm. (845) 255-0693 for info.

Last days of strawberry season

June is near an end and so is strawberry season. The berry patch is open today (Saturday, June 28) and tomorrow. Beginning on Monday, June 30 we will evaluate if it's worth opening the pick-your-own. You should call ahead and check (845) 255-0693.

In the patch, you will have to take your time and sort through berries that are overripe. The berries are smaller now that we are near the end. It will take some time and patience to pick but again the flavor is worth it.

The patch is located on Phillies Bridge Road in Gardiner. Follow the red and white signs. It is open from 8 a.m. to 12noon. Cost is $1.85 per pound.
