Now that Thanksgiving is over and the cold weather is really setting in, we're moving our sales room down back like we always do. We'll have apples, cider, honey and maple syrup all winter, but you'll have to swing down back to get it. Don't worry, it's easy to find. Just follow the signs.
Winter Hours:
M-F: 9:30 - 5:00
Sat: 9:00 - 4:00
Sun: 11:00 - 4:00

November Update
We hope everyone had a fun, safe and festive Halloween Weekend!
Now that it's November, a lot of things change around the farm. Pick-Your-Own is officially over for the year. Thanks again to EVERYONE who came and made it such a great season! If you're really still super-eager to pick something you'll have to wait until strawberry season in June 2011.
Despite PYO being closed, the roadstand will remain open on its normal hours (9:30-5:00 all week) and will still have apples, cider, donuts, pies, etc. After Thanksgiving we'll do our normal winter re-location to the warehouse down back, but there's still a few weeks before we have to worry about that.
Once again, thanks to everyone who came picking this year. Don't forget to share your memories by uploading any photos from the farm to our facebook page at www.facebook.com/dresselfarms. Weather-wise it was by far the nicest year we've had in a long time and we hope you enjoyed it.

Just about done
This weekend, October 30th & 31st, will be the final weekend of Pick-Your-Own apples and pumpkins for the year. We do still have apples available for picking, especially Granny Smith and Fuji. If you're looking for baking apples we also have Romes available.
The roadstand continues to be open daily from 9:30 to 5:30 with all varieties of apples, fresh-pressed Dressel Farms cider, honey, maple syrup, and fresh Apple Cider Donuts.
As a special bonus, come dressed in a costume this Saturday or Sunday and mention this post at the ice cream stand to get a free small cone! (one cone per costumed person)
Happy Halloween!

There's a chill in the air
It's been a great harvest so far, but it's not quite over yet. October 2010 is a rare month as it has 5 full weekends, so we still have 4 more days of pick-your-own left.
This weekend (23rd-24th) will still have plenty of apples left on the trees for picking. Prime varieties include Fuji, Romes, Granny Smith and Staymen/Winesap. We also have some Golden Delicious, Red Delicious and Mutsu/Crispen left as well.
The picking on Halloween weekend will depend on how cold the nights get between now and then. We will definitely be open the 30th and 31st with PYO pumpkins and apples, as well as the roadstand with all your fall favorites.
Call ahead for availability if you're concerned. (845) 255-0693

The Heart of the Season
This past weekend was a great one. Thanks to everybody who came to the farm on one of the most beautiful October weekends I can remember.
This weekend is Columbus Day, which means we'll be open Saturday, Sunday AND Monday with PYO! If you're planning on including us in your holiday weekend, we recommend getting here earlier rather than later. This tends to be our most popular weekend of picking, so if you want to beat the crowds you should try to be on the farm between 10 and noon!
By this weekend, most, if not all varieties will be ready to pick. Mutsu/Crispen are finally sweetening up, all of the Fuji are perfect and Staymen/Winesap should also be coming into ripeness. There are still tons of great pumpkins to get for your Halloween decorations, and the cider donut machine won't stop running all weekend.
Check the website for driving directions, pricing and more. If you have comments or photos you would like to share, head on over to our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/dresselfarms

It's almost October...
September is coming to an end. The days are getting shorter and the air is getting cooler. The leaves are starting to turn and the view of the mountain from our orchard is possibly the best way to take in the autumn colors.
Pick-Your-Own continues through October. By this weekend, most varieties will be ready for picking. Golden Delicious has been coming on slowly, but we think they'll be good to go. The Mutsu are still pretty green and, as always, the Granny Smith and Romes will need a few more weeks.
Chestnuts began to fall last weekend, but any wind this week will surely drop a ton more on the ground. By this weekend you won't be able to walk a step through there without stepping on chestnuts.
The doughnut robot will be running full steam all day and we'll have freshly pressed cider to wash it all down with. To take the chill off, we might even brew up some famous hot mulled cider, too.

It's Pick-Your-Own season, again
If today's cool air doesn't get you in the fall mood then you better come by the farm. We've got PYO up and running every weekend from now until Halloween weekend and I defy you to find a more quintessential autumn activity than visiting an apple orchard.
Apples are running early this year, so we've already got McIntosh, Honeycrisp, Gala, Jonamac, Macouns and even Cortland varieties ready. We've also got fresh cider that we're grinding almost daily now, which also means we've got Luisa's famous Apple Cider Donuts being made every day!
In addition to all of that we also have a great selection of vegetables, peaches and acorn and butternut squash. It looks like it's going to be a great weekend for picking, so stop by and see us!
