I was pleasantly surprised to find this Orchard with lots of apples, delicious honey crisp, Gala, golden delicious, Ida red varieties, didnt find any Macintosh left. Go down the hill towards the back to find the Golden delicious. After apple picking, you can walk to the Kettleborough ciderhouse and sample at least 5 different types of Hard cider. They have a real pretty spot with seating overlooking the orchards and mountainside, catch a sunset, just beautiful.

We are currently open for outdoor dining, delivery, and pickup Friday-Sunday. Taste our award-winning craft hard cider and our menu offers the best wood-fired pizza outside of Brooklyn (and Naples!), locally-sourced burgers, and fresh-baked cider donuts. Our farmstand offers free cider tastings, cider to-go, and local specialty provisions. We also have a great selection of New York cider, wine, and spirits and pick-your-own “ugly apples” - which will be available later this season.

Making our way down the NY Thruway from VT to the Poconos. Needed a break and found this gem outside of New Paltz with quick internet search. The orchard provides apples for Brooklyn Cider and there is a tasting room in the big barn. On the weekends, however, they fire up a grill and a wood oven in the pavilion cooking up burgers and wood fired pizza. $5 for a bottle of cider and $10-15 for a local beef burger or crispy wood oven pizza. Since we couldn't decide, we got both and shared. Had to limit to one cider tho since we were going to be back on the road. Otherwise we'd have stayed the rest of the day. there was a good breeze and a three piece band playing some solid bluesy rock tunes.

I have been eating their apples, especially their Northern Spies, and loving their cider for longer than I care to calculate... Fabulous apples ... and stunning cider. As the season lengthens, the apple varieties go from sweet to complex, crisp, and tart. Jenkins Lueken Orchards presses the consistently, most wonderful cider. Transitioning through the autumn, It actually displays a genuine bouquet, when freshly opened. Try to arrive early, as they often run out later in the afternoon.
