Q1: What are the best hours to visit to avoid crowds?
A1: Arrive right at opening, typically 10:00 AM on weekdays or Saturdays. Peak crowds consistently peak between 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM on sunny October weekends, which can lead to traffic queues along Mohansic Avenue.
Q2: Are pets allowed on the orchard grounds?
A2: No. Due to strict agricultural sanitation rules and New York food safety standards regarding active produce fields, pets are prohibited in the orchard rows, bakery shops, and picking patches.
Q3: Does the farm charge an admission fee to walk the property?
A3: Parking and general entry to the markets and courtyard grounds are free. Visitors pay strictly for the picking bags they harvest, corn maze entry wristbands, bakery goods, and wine tastings.
