Great farm, plenty of apples, nice people. Great bakery! The apple cider donuts were excellent.
It's become our tradition to head to Stuart's for apple picking, choosing the perfect pumkin(s), and loading up on tomatoes to roast for soup. This year, the orchards were full of Monarch butterflies. We always treat ourselves to a yummy cider donut and hot cider after a long walk amongst the trees and corn stalks. And this year, we plan to head back after Thanksgiving to find the perfect Christmas tree. That'll be a first for us. Can't wait! Everyone there is lovely and friendly.
Trees still had fruit in late October! Beautiful views, not too crowded, great donuts. Really nice fall day with the kiddos.
This farm is not prepared for apple picking. There is no four wheeled wagons to put the apples in. You are buying a plastic bag which is very heavy to carry with full apples. POISON IVY is everywhere. Actually you cannot pick apples without step in them. BEWARE if you going there with young children or toddlers. The owner of the farm should hire people to mow the poison ivy.There was no fun at all.
The staff is very helpful. The orchard is amazing and always full of apples to pick. The price is also very reasonable for the area.
Great farm stand open mostly from August to October with fruits, vegetables, sweet corn and apple picking. Also AMAZING pies and apple cider donuts. Also they have apple picking in September and October and they sell Christmas trees as well. Wish they let you pick other stuff.
I've been there before, and it's pretty peaceful, if your looking for a non carnival full of folks like your in the city type of place, then this would be the get away for the day from all the city life. I enjoyed it, and even thou that it may have been a rough season this year at this farm, I believe things will get better. I will be returning, my kids even enjoyed the peace and quite and said it themselves. So that says a lot to me.
Boy did this place go downhill from last year. I understand we arrive at the end of the apple picking season, but to say that there are apples when there aren't is just not a good business model! We went across the whole orchard and couldn't find one apple on the tree!! Close the orchard and just have the shop open, don't treat people like goats and have them walk for miles looking for something that's not there (while at the same time paying $25 for a relatively small bag).
Avoid this place at all costs as there are so many better options in the area to choose from, with much less hectic atmosphere.
TLDR; NO APPLES!! POISON IVY!! LANDFILL!! DISAPPOINTING!! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AT ALL COSTS!!
I heard people celebrating because they finally found an apple that wasn't on the ground or completely rotten. Also, even if you do find an apple it is probably because people already tried that tree and realized how terrible the apples on it were. There is also poison ivy everywhere. Compared to Barton Orchards this place is a pigsty or landfill. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience and I would definitely recommend going somewhere else at all costs.
Easy ride from Queens
Not crowded during week and friendly staff. Apple picking prices okay.
Nice, BUT. poison ivy pretty much under every tree. I had childrentots I just had major poison ivy all over my forearm in may from my backyard. So I was not happy to see them after walking slowly in and seeing my husband and daughter right in the middle of it under a tree picking an apple unless I hear they hired goats and rid of at least 80% I think I'm going to avoid the apple picking part
