HARD CIDER ON TAP
The Treasury Cider Bar will be serving flights and glasses of our very own hard cider made exclusively with our apples for a true Tree-To-Bottle experience. Tables on our wrap-around porch will only be available to those with reservations, though walk-ins are welcomed and can find seating at our picnic tables or in the grass. View what’s on tap and book your reservations here.
PICK-YOUR-OWN APPLES, PEARS, PUMPKINS, & MORE*
We grow over 100 varieties of apples, with most of them ripening up between September and October! Growing practices are important and make a difference. All of our apples are eco-certified, while a third of our varieties are also certified organic. Read more about what that means and why it’s so important here.
Yes, we have pumpkins too! Our pumpkin patch is out in the orchard and opens in late September for picking and will continue through October.
Wagon rides run throughout the orchard on weekends for the duration of the day. Wagon rides are included in your pick-your-own reservation.

FAQ’S
Do you allow cars in the orchard?
Yes, we will start allowing cars in the orchard starting September 8th. We ask that you only bring one car per reservation as space is limited. You must obey all orchard signage and stick to the 5mph speed limit. Upon exiting the orchard we will check your trunk before you leave–unfortunately theft is a problem.
Do you allow dogs or other pets?
Dogs are allowed on the property but are not allowed inside the farm store or in patches or among where fruit and vegetables are grown. They must be on a leash at all times and cleaned up after. Service animals protected by ADA may accompany their owners where they need to.
Do you require reservations for pick-your-own?
Yes. They can be made on the pick-your-own page of our website. We do not take reservation requests over the phone, through social media or email.
Is there public transportation to the farm?
The closest train station to our farm is the Beacon Train Station. You can get there by taking the Metro-North Hudson Line. From Beacon, we are located about 15 minutes away by car. Local cab companies, Uber and Lyft service our area and are commonly used to reach the farm. Fishkill Farms is not affiliated with any of these ride services.
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes. We accept all major credit cards at all points of sale throughout the farm.
Can we barbecue at the farm?
No. Cookouts, barbecues, alcoholic beverages, and loud music are not allowed.
