Fishkill Farms' rows hold Certified Organic Crimson Crisp, Liberty, Pixie Crunch, Spartan and Sweet 16, plus eco-certified Honeycrisp, Gala, early Fuji and McIntosh. You pick by the bag — about 12 or 22 pounds — then head to the farm store and the Treasury Cider Bar. If apple picking is the one fall ritual you refuse to skip, this orchard is reachable from Metro-North with a short cab ride.
What to expect
You check in for your reserved slot, grab a bag and head into the orchard rows, where signs point you to the varieties that are ready. After picking, most visitors linger at the farm store and cider bar courtyard; flower picking and late-season crops like raspberries and hot peppers are available as add-ons.
