3.5Lawrence Farms Orchards(131 reviews) - Won't go back Temporarily closed - Closed until further notice Farms
We took our 23 month old granddaughter here. Charged $3. Per person to get in ( most farms in area charge nothing ). Place is nice for young kids and staff is friendly. Prices for produce and food was high - ended up getting pumpkins and apples for less at a grocery store. Very crowded on weekend. Will not return due to high pricesSee more..
On this day, it was a nice fall day. They were way way overcrowded. $27 per adult to wait on ridiculous lines for food or anything else. The apple cannons were not operating. The mini golf was not operating. This place could be worth $27 if it was not over crowded. I wasn't there to apple pick but I heard it was well over $20 to pick a bag of apples. There was a good band and alcoholic drinks were about $9 each.See more..
After some research we picked this orchard for the picnic space, lots of places to picnic, bring your own stuff no charge and park anywhere in the orchard. You only pay for apples by the bag whatever you decide to take home. Not many varieties of apples, not ripe yet either, I think end of September best, do not expect peace and quiet, adults are worse that kids here, people brought dogs which I did not appreciate them running around, people don’t really care about your peace and quiet to enjoy the lovely views and orchard experience, some people still come close to you even though there is so much space and trees to go around. Anyways, people need to respect this place, I witnessed some adults throw apples at trees and leaving fruit to waste, also watched people in expensive cars try to hide apples and not pay when leaving, do not embarrass yourself, so much here they offer for free at least pay for your apples. The staff here was very nice and pleasant to deal with!See more..
Great place to do strawberry picking. Took my young kid and had a fun time. Had to reserve time so everyone wasn’t on the field at the same time. But picked to my hearts content. Small farm store and food truck. The balcony to eat has great views.See more..

Greig Farm is a third-generation family farm located in Red Hook, NY. Our farm was founded in 1942 by Marion and Robert Greig, who began the farm with a small herd of dairy cows, an apple orchard, and a strawberry patch, which was open to the public. Their son, Norman Greig, began farming in 1975 and gradually added blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, pumpkins and other crops to the farm. We have always felt a responsibility to provide our community with a welcoming space and sustainably-grown, healthy produce. Our 1850s dairy barn was once home to seventy cows and today it is home to our farm market & cafe, a local craft market, and an art gallery. Our home is your home, and we look forward to the next 70 years in the Hudson Valley.See more..

We thankfully happened upon this farm because we were searching for a u-pick place. This farm is ADORABLE! We ordered breakfast and it was delicious. They have plenty of tables for people to sit at and socially distance while eating. It was u-pick peaches and we picked 155 peaches for only $25! They have baskets (half bushel sized) and small bags in the store for collecting the fruit. They also have wagons for patrons to use in the orchards. While it wasnt apple picking season, they do have an apple orchard as well! The bakery items in the store looked delicious and it took a lot of self control not to just buy 1 of everything! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Easy drive from the Niagara Falls are!See more..
We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the farm. Anne’s passion and love for her animals was infectious.

Two other popular things were the corn maze and the underground slide. Everything (bathrooms included) was super clean. The people were friendly and very helpful. Thanks for a great time!

This weekend was Maple Weekend open house. We went right at prime time Sunday morning and when we got there, there was a line to get in to the restaurant setting area (that must tell you how good it is right there). Im so happy we waited in line and I would wait again if I had to. The whole time waiting all we smelled was awesome food and sap boiling, yum! Everyone who was working there was super nice and working hard. The food is all made fresh with fresh ingredients homemade by the owner and family. We all left super full and we were more than pleased with our meal. The prices were very good. On the way out, do not forget to grab some of MANY homemade, on site products. The Maple donuts are everything you could ask for. If you visit on one of the NYS Maple Weekends they will be boiling the sap right there for you to see, smell and sample. If you're ever in the area I recommend coming for breakfast (especially during sap season in the spring).See more..
