CELEBRATE

Come celebrate our 15th year at Hurds Family Farm. We are blooming... and we hope the cheerful marigolds planted in the nooks and crannies all around the farm will "Catch Your Eye", and help create a beautiful landscape for your autum outing.

EXPLORE

As you approach the farm from New Paltz, you'll drive by apple orchards on your right.Soon you'll be greeted by floral crop art letters forming the word EXPLORE, chosen to honor the 400th Anniversary of the early explorerswho discovered the resources along the banks and in the waters of the mighty Hudson River... The Hudson River and the Age of Exploration are woven into the theme of our giant 4 acre cornmaze "Half Moon Risin", in the shape of Henry Hudson's Half Moon.Wandering this fun and educational maze you'll discover AMAZING nautical terms, snippets aboutthe indigenous fish, Native American History, the role of the Hudson River in the Revolutionary War, and so much more as you explore the pathways and seek the hidden treasure stations along the route.

OPEN SOON!

We'll keep you posted on the dates, as we are anticipating opening early this season for raspberries, peaches, and early apples. Apples varieties include Royal Gala, Gingergold, Early Macintosh, Paula Red and Tydemens. The offical opening opening weekendwith all the activites you've come to enjoy, is the 3 day Labor Weekend Sept.5,6, and 7th. Looking forward to seeing you this fall season---remember our popular "Season Pass" if you come visit us often.
