Hudson Valley Family-Friendly U-Pick Locations
Picking your own fruits, veggies, or flowers is a wonderful family activity that lets you spend quality time together while getting the freshest products possible. From lavender to peaches, you'll find a variety of u-pick farms in the Hudson Valley, and many also offer additional activities such as going on hay rides or petting farm animals.
Our real estate agents suggest visiting the following Hudson Valley u-pick farms.
- Lavenwood - 98 Mountain Lodge Road, Washingtonville, NY 10992
The colorful fields of lavender are an amazing sight at Lavenwood, a u-pick lavender farm near Washingtonville homes for sale. The farm grows the Phenomenal variety of lavender, an all-purpose type that can retain its color and scent for years when kept away from heat and humidity. This makes it ideal for dried-lavender crafts, so you can use it in sachets, wreaths, and other projects to keep enjoying what you've picked for years to come. The lavender also has a beautiful, minty, and floral flavor and can be used to make treats like lemon bars. - Riamede Farm - 122 Oakdale Road, Chester, NJ 07930
Riamede Farm has a charming, old-fashioned feel that starts with its large vintage apple trees, some planted over 80 years ago. The farm, located near Chester homes for sale, may have been New Jersey's first pick-your-own apple orchard and has guests who first visited when they were kids and are now bringing their own children to pick and enjoy the farm. When you need a break from picking, go on a farm wagon ride if you visit on the weekend or a holiday. - Lyn Gardens - 27 Robinson Lane, Wappingers Falls, NY 12590
Pick your own blueberries at Lyn Gardens, where the crops are non-GMO and grown without synthetic fertilizers. If you'd like to start your own at-home version of a mini-blueberry farm, you can buy your own Northern Highbush bushes that are 30 years old and have no pesticides or chemicals applied to them. And if you're into microgreens, the farm, located near Dutchess County homes for sale, also sells them. - Weed Orchards & Winery - 43 Mount Zion Road, Marlboro, NY 12542
The view alone makes a visit to Weed Orchards & Winery worth a trip. The fifth-generation pick-your-own farm and winery is located in the beautiful green hills of Hudson Valley at the base of the Marlboro mountain and near Ulster County homes for sale. You can pick juicy peaches at the farm and enjoy other activities such as visiting the winery, working your way through the corn maze, letting the kids romp around on a playground, and petting some farm animals. Weekend afternoon hay rides are also available. - DuBois Farms & Winery - 209 Perkinsville Road, Highland, NY 12528
The owners of DuBois Farms & Winery have created a peaceful, idyllic setting that aims to bring a touch of Olde New England to the Hudson Valley. You'll be able to pick a large variety of fruits and veggies, depending on the season, including summer squash and several varieties of greens, as well as peaches, plums, and nectarines. Make a day of your trip and visit the farm market, cafe, pizzeria, ice cream shop, and bakery, and visit with farm animals. You can also stop by the tavern to try some local hard cider, craft beer, and wine.
