Best season Whatever they list as ripe. Apples and pumpkins run into fall. Berries are earlier. Do not arrive for strawberries in October.
Drive About 1 hr 20 min–1 hr 45 min
General guidance from Midtown to Hopewell Junction. A fall Saturday is slower than a Tuesday.
Parking. On the farm. The reservation exists so the lot and the rows are not overrun. If you do not have a picking slot, you can still park for the store.
A Hudson Valley fruit farm with pick-your-own on a reservation. The farm store, the café, and the cider bar do not need a picking ticket. What is ripe changes every week.
Worth knowing
Book the row
Reserve on their pick-your-own page. They do not keep a phone waitlist. Canceled slots go back on the page. Dogs are not allowed in the orchard or the store. The courtyard is the exception, on a leash.
The donut line
Fishkill says the donut line runs long on weekend afternoons in late September and October. The store, Treasury Cider Bar, grill, and courtyard music do not need a picking reservation.
With kids. Picking fruit is the visit. Book a slot per crop. The store is the backup if the row you wanted is full. Follow their rule about unripe fruit.
The short version
Fishkill Farms is at 9 Fishkill Farm Road, Hopewell Junction. They publish a pick-your-own calendar and say reservations are not taken by phone, email, or social media. You book on the website, crop by crop.
Food nearby
The farm store, or Farmer's Fork
You can visit without picking. Their FAQ says the store, the café, the cider bar, and the courtyard are open without a PYO reservation. Hours move with the season.
A game nearby
Hudson Valley Renegades
Heritage Financial Park in Wappingers Falls is the High-A Yankees affiliate’s field, nearer this farm than a big-league park. The 2026 home season ended with the last home game on August 30, so fall festival weekends are not baseball nights.
Farms and stands nearby
Fishkill Farms store
Seasonal fruit and vegetables grown on the farm, plus local meats, fish, cheeses, yogurt, honey, jam, and maple syrup. They also sell their Treasury cider, other New York cider, wine, beer, and liquor, and they make donuts and pies year-round.
Season. The store page says it is open year-round and that hours change with the season. The contact page lists summer and fall, mid-May through December, Tuesday through Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., closed Monday, and winter and spring, January through mid-May, Friday through Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., closed Monday through Thursday. Read fishkillfarms.com/contact before you go.
The store does not need a pick-your-own reservation, and parking for it is free. In late September and October they say the donut line runs long on weekend afternoons. Come earlier, on a weekday, or outside that peak. Dogs are not allowed in the store.
