Stone Ridge Orchard

The light show is absolutely stunning and beautifully executed! They will be hosting this show every day until Christmas! The restaurant offers delicious pizza and has a bar, making it a perfect spot. Plus, you can enjoy a lovely view of the orchard to complement your experience!

This restaurant is not a good place to visit. It operates on the efforts of many, relying on unpaid employees from other ventures. According to the owner's own words, she is "always looking for ways to evade her responsibilities." She has many different sides, most of which are unkind. Her labor practices are questionable, often bordering on exploitative, with unpaid or delayed payments to her workers.

Stone Ridge Orchard is, without a doubt, the best orchard in the Hudson Valley. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Elizabeth, who was incredibly gracious and accommodating. The farm stand offers everything you could want for the fall season, whether you’re in the mood for fresh pies, apple cider donuts, homemade cider, or anything else. Thank you once again, Elizabeth, for your exceptional hospitality and for making us feel right at home.

What a charming spot! I had heard great things about this place but only recently stopped by while taking a detour. It was wonderfully peaceful on a cool spring morning, with all the produce and goods sourced locally. The prices are quite reasonable, and I can only imagine how lively it gets when pizza season kicks off! Establishments like this foster a fantastic sense of community, and the orchard provides a beautiful setting for making lasting memories. Thank you!

What really frustrated me was spending over $100 to bring my family to the light show, only to find that it was not handicap accessible. My father, who uses a wheelchair, couldn’t join us, which really put a damper on our experience. When we inquired about a refund for his ticket—since the entire area was full of inclines and there was no assistance for him to navigate the space—they informed us that refunds were not an option but offered us items from their farm stand instead. However, when we arrived at the farm stand, it was in terrible condition. The floor looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages, and the pie I selected had mold on it, which I discovered only after receiving it. I had to return it right there in the store. Overall, I see a lot of potential for improvement, but my experience was incredibly disappointing. It seems like either Elizabeth Ryan has staff who are not equipped to handle such events, or she herself is not managing things properly. In any case, my time at the orchard was not a good one.
