 10990 Hudson Valley Pick-Your-Own Apples Pears  Warwick Valley Apple & Pear Orchards

845-258-4858 

U PICK APPLE AND PEAR ORCHARDS at the Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery is located at 114 Little York Road, Warwick NY, 10990 in the foothills of the Hudson Valley. Every autumn, our guests are invited to enjoy our lavish orchards and Pick-Your-Own apples and Pears. Pear picking begins in August. Apples begin to ripen shortly thereafter in early September. With thirty varieties we have an apple for every palate. Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery's commitment to fine food and wine are why we are referred to as a "Bit of Tuscany in the Hudson Valley". Please, bring your family to meet our family and enjoy our farm, winery and orchards.

Our pick your own Apple and Pear orchards are ready for picking beginning early September and ripening continues through early November. We grow Bosc and Bartlett pears and over twenty varieties of apples. Remember pears ripen off the tree while apples ripen on the tree.

Most of the apples available in local supermarkets are grown and marketed because they are easy to grow and store (9 months is not unusual), they can be picked early (before they are ripe), and provide large yields. The apples most widely available are sturdy, beautiful, large tasteless fruits - 3 or 4 varieties have been widely marketed and unfortunately this small sampling represents for many the totality of their “apple experience”.

Our purpose is to grow apple varieties that taste great. Nothing gives us more pleasure than watching a child discover that all apples don’t taste or look alike and that they are “really good”. Some of the apples we grow were popular hundred of years ago and some have been recently introduced (Honeycrisp). Many varieties are “heirloom” varieties because they are older cultivars that are not widely grown commercially and are rarely available. Over the years we have planted more of these “boutique” apples and believe that it is important as well as interesting to keep them available - and lets not forget the great taste. Press "Blue Button" for complete list of apples and pears, picking dates and more information about Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery.

 McIntosh Empire pick picking apples eating Variety flavor recipes children kids prevent health benefits prevent illness dietary fiber pectin reduce cancer heart disease boron osteoporosis Apple Country in New York State

585-924-2171 

New York State apple growers have been perfecting their apples for over 300 years. Enjoy them all year long. From the classic McIntosh to the snappy Empire, New York has what you want in an apple. Taste the difference, savor the quality, share the pride.

It's no coincidence that apples are the symbol of good health. In the Middle Ages, the English said "To eat an apple before going to bed will make the doctor beg his bread." We now know that there's a sound basis for the familiar "apple a day" rhyme. Take a look at the nutritional benefits of a medium size Apple Country® apple.

Nutritional Facts: Apples are absolutely fat-free. One apple provides as much dietary fiber as a bowl of bran cereal. Apples are loaded with pectin, a soluble fiber that aids digestion and may help reduce cancer and heart disease. The complex carbohydrates in apples give your body a longer, more even energy boost compared to high-sugar snacks. Snacking on apples can keep you going throughout the day. Apples provide boron, an essential trace element that helps harden bones and help prevent osteoporosis.
