9 Terrific Hudson Valley Farm Stands to Support This Season

Autumn and the weeks leading up to the season tend to be a pretty busy time for most orchards, vineyards, and farms in the Hudson Valley. People from all over New York and beyond flock to the area to catch a glimpse of the awestriking foliage that peaks during this time of year.

While the increased traffic—both on the road and general foot traffic on local Main Streets—can be a point of frustration for some locals, one major positive side to the increased tourism is the boom in business our local farms, orchards, vineyards, breweries, restaurants, and shops experience.

Fall Festive Fun in the Hudson Valley

Some larger destinations tend to be pretty popular in the Fall. For example, Barton Orchards in Pouquagh plays host to different themed events practically every weekend in the Fall.

From end-of-summer events like their Sunflower Festival and Oktoberfest to their Apple Festival Weekend and weekly Friday Night Haunted House & Corn Maze festivities, there's always something fun going on. And that's just events!
