Barton Orchards

This Hudson Valley farm is always one of the most popular spots for apple picking, but Barton offers far more than just that. In addition to the orchards, there’s a corn maze; aerial adventure park, Treetop Adventures; and for local craft beer, cider, and wine, the Tap Room. As for apples: expect over 120 acres of trees, and they rotate picking areas frequently to ensure visitors always have access to well-stocked trees and the ripest fruit. The farm also hosts frequent weekend events, including Oktoberfest, Fall Festivals, and their Country Music Jamborees.
