Why go

A Columbia County orchard prized for crops that are hard to find closer to the city — sweet and sour cherries, currants and gooseberries — alongside peaches and apples. The 4,500 sq ft farmstand houses a bakery and cafe making apple cider donuts fresh every morning. Pairs nicely with a day in Hudson.
