Ripe for picking

Plenty of places to pluck juicy apples By Emily Dykeman The Hudson Valley is rife with opportunities to pick fresh apples this autumn; with so many options, it is difficult to find the ideal orchard. Enthusiasts can choose from farms such as Masker Orchards and Applewood Orchard, both in Warwick, Lawrence Farms Orchards in Newburgh, Soons Orchard in New Hampton, and a host of others. One local farm offering apple-picking that stands out among its peers is Apple Hill Farm, located on Route 32 in New Paltz. Apple Hill, operated by Christine Moriello—a recent graduate of Mount Saint Mary College—has been in Moriello’s family since its establishment in the 1940s. Featuring an exceptional view of the Shawangunk Mountain Range and offering ten to twelve varieties of apples for picking (and about twenty for sale in the farm store), Apple Hill is an ideal option for enjoying outdoor fall activities. The farm attracts not only Hudson Valley residents but also those from New York City and New Jersey hoping to get out and appreciate what nature has to offer. Moriello states that among the reasons apple pickers will appreciate her farm’s apples are the “vintage varieties” such as Opalescent. Some of the trees on the farm have been extant since Apple Hill’s inception, which Moriello says lends an “old and established” flair to the apples. In addition to Opalescent, the trees in the orchard produce varieties including McIntosh, Jonamac, Cortland, Spartan, Empire, Mutsu, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, and Macoun. When asked what tips she has

U-Pick Apples at Prospect Hill Orchards in Milton. for potential apple pickers, Moriello says that it “depends on taste;” since apple pickers are often looking for a diverse range of uses for the apples.

The wide assortment available should appeal to those pickers seeking apples for cooking and baking as well as those simply looking to enjoy the flavor of a times community newspapers

fresh apple. In addition to pick-yourown, Apple Hill also offers free hayrides and fire truck rides, making the farm an ideal destination for families seeking fun in the outdoors. Moriello, who recently took over the farm and is looking for ways to expand, says there exists “lots of potential for more.” Moriello is planning to offer weekends of food and music at Apple Hill, including cookouts using local organic meats and homemade goods and featuring local bands. The rustic farm store—which prominently displays Moriello’s own nature photography on its walls—sells the farm’s food products, including fresh apples, gourds, pumpkins, corn, peaches, apple cider, pies, and cider donuts. “You’re really just here to enjoy the natural beauty of things,” says Moriello of her farm. Hudson Valley residents are strongly encouraged to lend their support to Apple Hill this season and to take advantage of its prospects for fun, food, and community.

Walden Harvest Festival is Oct. 4 Every year on the First Saturday in October, the Village of Walden and the Walden Community Council host the annual Harvest Fest also known as Walden Day. Now in its 28th year, planning for Waldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harvest Fest 2014 is well under way. Harvest Fest is kicked off each year the night before with the Little Miss Walden Contest followed by Family Dance at the Teen Center in Wooster Grove. Harvest Fest itself is a full day of action-packed events, shopping, and food for the whole family. Admission is always free Waldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harvest Fest began in 1986 as a simple harvest celebration; now over 1,000 visitors and over 100 vendors attend the one-day event, traveling from neighboring states to experience the extraordinary variety of Waldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture and entertainment. The Harvest Fest is produced by the Village of Walden and the Walden Community Council. Festival proceeds are used by the Walden Community Council to support community events and other local non-profit organizations.

The frog-jumping contest is always one of the highlights.

Little Miss Walden and her court preside over the day's events. times community newspapers
