Wilkens Fruit Fir Farm

Funny place, apple, pumpkin picking, corn maze, wine tasting. Not far away from NYC, good option for fall

I live in the city so that a chance to escape and in a quiet place with open environment is beautiful. I didn't care that the line was at a point long during the celebration, but only the overall experience is always a big one. I also picked a Christmas tree here and it was great. the bakery is amazing! I'm glad to go back soon when it warms up a bit!

I had a good time to pick up here. at the arrival we waited approx. 15 minutes before we get our bushels and the stock (the stock is available for an extra few dollars to rent). there was a good selection of apples. my favorite was the macintosh. we took time and spent about two hours in total. the farm also offers a mais labyrinth and pumpkin picking. they also offer local products and apple apples apples. a total worth a visit.

We made ourselves here to get our Christmas tree an annual tradition. since 2020 sells wild dried trees that are damaged and do not even make it Christmas. with them compel customers to buy a payment on their tree as part of the reservation process before the performance, they are almost forced to buy a subpar tree or to eat the payment. the fields for chopping their own building are not cultivated and uncrowded by the trees grow and are full of overpriced poor quality trees. we loved this place, but I would stay away. you'd rather buy a tree, but here.

They clearly overbooked, and it was comical how packed it was. On a Saturday in mid-October, the line for their famous apple cider donuts was a shocking hour long! It was literally just a long line of people inching forward, maybe 200 feet in total, barely moving. We even met a woman whose son had been in line for nearly an hour and was still nowhere near the front. The pumpkin patch looked like a scene from a disaster movie. The pumpkins were all rotten and damaged—I wouldn’t even consider picking one for the kids. As for the apples, it was even worse; they resembled post-apocalyptic images. I've never seen so many sickly-looking apple trees, all covered in black spots and holes, from the lowest to the highest fruit. There’s clearly something very wrong with the soil at Wilkens Farm. The only silver lining from our visit was that we managed to hit the wine stand before the lines got too long, allowing us to drink away some of our disappointment. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to try the apples because so many of them looked like they had been dipped in syrup—it was quite off-putting. You couldn’t pay me enough to come back here.
