Dressel Farms

In the heart of New York’s scenic Hudson Valley, Dressel Farms is a family-run operation where you can immerse yourself in the joys of farm life. Established in 1957 by Fred Dressel, the farm is now run by three generations of the Dressel family and covers an impressive 400 acres, with a primary focus on apple production. Visitors can explore the charming farmstand, open daily, which offers a bounty of seasonal delights, including fresh-pressed apple cider, homemade ice cream, and a selection of pies.

Beyond the delicious treats, Dressel Farms truly comes alive with its pick-your-own experiences. Imagine strolling through rows of apple trees, filling a basket with crisp, juicy apples in the fall, or feeling the excitement of discovering the perfect pumpkin in October. During select days in June, you can even enjoy picking your own strawberries, a true summer delight. The atmosphere is inviting and family-friendly, making it a perfect destination for creating lasting memories amidst a beautiful backdrop of rolling hills and picturesque orchards.

Dressel Farms’ commitment to quality extends beyond the retail experience, as they also pack and ship a large volume of their apples to grocery stores throughout the East Coast and internationally. So whether you’re looking for a delightful family outing, seeking the freshest local produce, or even planning an escape into the beauty of the Hudson Valley, Dressel Farms offers a unique blend of tradition and modern farming practices. You can explore their orchards, sample their delicious treats, or even try their Kettleborough Hard Cider, made on-site using their very own apples.
