"Having explored various "u-pick" farms in the past, we must say that Greig Farm stands out as one of the best in the Hudson Valley! Why is that? Let’s start with the selection. While the apple offerings were initially limited to Empire and Jonamac varieties, we expect a much wider variety to be available in the coming weeks. As for the blackberries, while some were fully ripe, most still need a little more time to reach maturity.
The farm itself is quite expansive. After we completed our picking (priced at $7.99 per pound), we headed to the market/café, which is a short distance from the picking area. There, you can find a diverse range of products including fish, meat, local condiments, and cheese, among others. The menu also offers a variety of delicious meals, all prepared by a talented kitchen staff. You can choose to dine indoors or outside at the picnic tables.
Don’t miss a visit to the Artesian Marketplace. It has a charming boutique vibe reminiscent of the shops on Tinker Street in Woodstock. Additionally, there’s a rustic room at the back of the marketplace that can be used for catering parties.
Overall, Greig Farm is a must-visit destination for both adults and families!"
