Fall Festivities with Friends and Family: Apple Picking at Apple Hill Farm

Wooden crates stocked to the brim with pre-picked Crispin, Golden Delicious, and Red Delicious apples stand atop the hill of Apple Hill Farm. Their easy and quick accessibility offers ease for those with difficulties hand-picking apples in the orchard themselves.

Apples by name and seasonal growth patterns are assorted into rows on the orchard. Pictured here are the neatly planted Red Delicious apple trees; all with fresh fruit ripe and ready to be picked.

Apple Hill Farm offers three different size bags to fill when self-apple picking. Simply reach for the apple of your choosing, pick it from the tree, and drop into your purchased carrier.

Red delicious apples are available for picking from Sept. 28 to Oct. 14. Afterwards, you can select your desired fruit, like the one photographed here, from the many ones available in bins for sale.

Everyone enjoys fresh juicy fruit (even these yellowjackets)! Naturally fallen apples at Apple Hill Farm are returned to nature in the environmental conscientious cycle of decay and replenishment.

Red Delicious apples lay pre picked and overflowing in bins atop the hill at the orchard. These allow for quick and easy access to the fresh fruit.

Located beneath the hill is the little shop at Apple Hill Farm in New Paltz, New York. Fresh apples, apple cider, apple baked goods, pumpkins and gourds are available for purchase there.

A hand painted wooden sign of the orchard’s name is placed atop the shelving unit displaying daily fresh baked pastries inside shop.

Parked alongside the Red Delicious section of the orchard, is a Fultonville Fire Department truck. Its beautiful and rich red color is nearly a perfect match to this name of apple’s skin coloring.

Apple Hill Farm apple butter and preserved jams fill neatly stacked shelves. They are available for purchase in store for only $7 a jar.
