Dressel Farms - New Paltz

Great location and neat and tidy farm stand. Apple cider doughnuts are LIGHT and FLUFFY!

Great experience apple picking, hay ride, cider doughnuts, adult cider bar and mountainside overlook were very nice. A must try it experience. Plus the town of New Paltz is a bonus with Lola’s live band Herbert Goulding that rocks!

I have never gone apple picking and to be honest I always thought of it to be gimmicky but Dressel Farms changed my mind. Their staff were very friendly, every time I walked past them they asked how I was doing and answered any questions I had. Their apples were unbelievable. I forgot how good fresh apples truly are and these are a game changer. They had many varieties, a few I never heard of, and all of them were delicious. A visit to Dressel will always be on the list whenever I'm upstate.

The staff was nice however they blamed the extra pricing on Covid. It's $5 per person just to get in. Then you must buy a bag to pick apples for a minimum of an additional $16 for the small bag. You can't use your own and pay afterwards. So the $5 you pay to get in just allows you to walk a round. Qe were told by the staff that you can't even ride the haywagon without paying an additional fee. Not the experience we were looking for.

I absolutely adore this place! I discovered the most delightful white peaches, tomatoes, and honeycrisp apples here. I had previously visited another farm and bakery in the area, and they had very little to offer.
