Why go

Tucked against the Appalachian Trail in Sussex County's Vernon Valley, Pochuck is a no-frills orchard with mountain views and a beloved farm deli — AT thru-hikers detour here for the sandwiches. Pick apples and peaches on the hillside, then grab cider donuts and eat at the picnic tables. It pairs perfectly with a walk on the nearby Pochuck Boardwalk or Stairway to Heaven.
