Autumnal Equinox

Fall officially begins this week, which means our harvest is coming into its prime!

Pick-your-own is already through its second weekend, and it just gets better from here. More varieties will be ready to pick in the coming weeks, so be sure to check www.dresselfarms.com to find when your favorite will be ripe for the picking.

The hayrides still operate every weekend, and our animals are here all season, and are always ready to be fed. Also, our corn maze is one of the best we've (I've) ever made, so make sure you give it a run-through.

As always, the roadstand is open daily throughout the season with a full selection of our own apples, pumpkins and vegetables, not to mention fresh-pressed Dressel Farms Apple Cider, and everyone's favorite apple cider donuts, made fresh daily. We also have local mums, honey and maple syrup. There are still a few peaches left, but hurry because this will probably be the last week to get them until next summer!

Hours remain the same. PYO is weekends (and Columbus Day) only. Don't forget about our ice cream stand- open every weekend with ice cream, hot dogs, nachos, milkshakes, slushies, hot chocolate, and our specially homemade apple crisp a la mode! The perfect satisfaction and inspiration for what to do with all those apples you just picked!

As always, for more information, please check out www.dresselfarms.com or call us at (845) 255-0693.
