Crowd level: Mixed. Go early, or pick a weekday.

Good with kids

Best season Whatever they list as ripe. Apples and pumpkins run into fall. Berries are earlier. Do not arrive for strawberries in October.

Drive About 1 hr 20 min–1 hr 45 min

General guidance from Midtown to Hopewell Junction. A fall Saturday is slower than a Tuesday.

Parking. On the farm. The reservation exists so the lot and the rows are not overrun. If you do not have a picking slot, you can still park for the store.

A fruit farm at 9 Fishkill Farm Road, Hopewell Junction, NY 12533. Pick-your-own needs a reservation. The farm store, Farmer’s Fork, and the Treasury Cider Bar do not.

Worth knowing

  • Book the row

    Reserve on their pick-your-own page. They do not keep a waitlist. A canceled slot goes back on the page. Dogs are not allowed in the orchard, the pick-your-own rows, or the farm store. Dogs are allowed in the courtyard, on the Treasury Cider porch, and on the grassy hill, on a leash.

  • Busy afternoons

    The FAQ says cider donuts are made fresh every day, year-round. It also says weekends after 11 am, and festival days in mid-September and October, run longer lines. The store, Treasury Cider Bar, and courtyard do not need a picking reservation.

With kids. Picking fruit is the visit. Book a slot per crop. The store is the backup if the row you wanted is full. Follow their rule about unripe fruit.

The short version

Fishkill Farms is at 9 Fishkill Farm Road, Hopewell Junction, NY 12533. Phone (845) 897-4377. The FAQ says pick-your-own reservations are made on the website, not by phone, email, or social media.

The farm store, or Farmer’s Fork

You can visit without picking. The FAQ says the farm store, Farmer’s Fork, Treasury Cider Bar, pollinator garden, and courtyard are open without a pick-your-own reservation. Hours move with the season.

A game nearby

Hudson Valley Renegades

Heritage Financial Park in Wappingers Falls is the High-A Yankees affiliate’s field, nearer this farm than a big-league park. The 2026 home season ended with the last home game on August 30, so fall festival weekends are not baseball nights.
