Hudson Valley food festivals, farmers' markets & apple orchards

Farmers have been feeding Hudson Valley families since the 1600s. Today, these farms offer unique cultural experiences to residents and visitors who want to know where their food comes from. Food festivals for apples, cheese, garlic, wine, and many more attest to the verdant growing area of our farms. Drive down any country road in the Hudson Valley and you’re bound to come across a cheery red barn offering good fun such as hayrides, music, corn mazes, and so many other ways to celebrate the harvest.
