The weather has definitely taken a cooler turn and our fall season is almost at a close. We do have one weekend left for pick-your-own, though, so if you still need your jack-o-lantern pumpkin or some apples this weekend is your last chance to pick 'em. The best varieties now are Fuji, Rome, Granny Smith, Staymen/Winesap and Ida Red.
After PYO ends, though, the roadstand continues to operate on it's normal 7-day schedule, open from 9:30-5:30 every day with apples, cider, donuts, honey, and maple syrup all the way through Thanksgiving.
As always, most questions can be answered by our website www.dresselfarms.com or you can call us during normal business hours.

Mid-September Update
Pick-your-own is off to a great start! The weather is finally starting to cooperate and all of the apples are ripening up nicely. This coming weekend we'll have more varieties available including Macoun, Cortland, and a few early strains of Fuji in addition to the Gala and McIntosh we've been picking.
Also available at the roadstand is our fresh-pressed apple cider, all available varieties of apples including Honeycrisp, peaches, pears, plums and an array of fresh vegetables. Not to mention our homemade Apple Cider Donuts and NEW THIS YEAR- fresh, homemade scones made with Dressel Farms fruit!
On top of all that, during PYO we have our free hayrides to take you throughout the orchard, our animal pen with baby goats to feed, and probably the most spectacular view in the Hudson Valley.
If you have any questions, feel free to call us during normal business hours at (845) 255-0693.

Pick-Your-Own Grand Reopening
The pick-your-own/u-pick season will begin this Saturday, September 3rd. Available varieties will include McIntosh, Gala and Honeycrisp. Our Honeycrisp orchard is very young so availability is limited. We'll have Honeycrisp available at the stand all season but if you're set on picking them yourself don't wait! We expect them to be totally picked by Sept 11th!
Hours for picking are Saturday and Sunday from 10-5. To make sure the orchard is clear by 5, no one will be allowed to enter after 4:30.
Roadstand hours are 7-days a week, 9:30-5:30.
We'll be firing up the doughnut robots for the first time this year. Demand got so out of control recently that we've upgraded and more than doubled our capacity for this season!
Chestnuts and pumpkins will be available in October.

Peaches and Early Apples
Sorry for the lull in blog posts this year, but we're back and promise this blog will be updated more frequently during the fall season.
Summer is quickly drawing to a close here on the farm. Like it or not, the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting cooler and we're picking more and more apples every day.
So far, available varieties are limited to Ginger Gold and Jonamac. Within the next couple weeks we'll have McIntosh and Gala. Honeycrisp will be ready by the second weekend in September.
We're still picking a pile of peaches. We have yellow and white peaches as well as both yellow and white nectarines. Also available at the roadstand are Dressel Farms' fresh sweet corn, raspberries, plums and fresh vegetables.
We do not offer Pick-Your-Own for peaches. PYO apples will open in September and will be open every weekend (as well as Labor Day and Columbus Day) through October.
If you have questions, we encourage you to consult our website at www.dresselfarms.com or our facebook page at www.facebook.com/dresselfarms. For further questions, you can call the farm during normal business hours.

We're still open!
Believe it or not, our winter sales room is still open and will stay open all winter and well into the spring! For those of you confused how we can still have produce now, check out this article on "Controlled Atmosphere" storage: (I know it's from Ohio...just go with it)
http://www.examiner.com/science-news-in-cincinnati/controlled-atmosphere-storage-of-apples
For the more science-savvy readers, here's a scientific paper:
http://www.ne-postharvest.com/hb66/012controlled.pdf
To summarize, we have air-tight rooms sealed chock full of apples that can therefore be used fresh up to 6-8 months after they're picked, making sure you get fresh, crisp apples throughout the year.
We still have most varieties available, as well as fresh cider, honey and maple syrup. We also have apple firewood available in bulk. We're open 7 days a week!
If you have questions or to check availability, please call the farm at 255-0693.
