Apple Picking at Pennings Orchard, Warwick, NY

Enjoyed this post? Give it some love and share!

Last weekend the family and I wanted to take advantage of a beautiful just-beginning-of-Fall Sunday, so we headed about an hour North of New York City to go apple picking.

Normally we would wait till much later, but this year I think I actually am a bit more organized.  To where when I go to the orchard, there are still actually apples on the tree!  It was a nice drive past Bear Mountain and Tuxedo, NY. The winding roads were lined with trees lowly showing Fall colors of red, orange, and yellow. We arrived to Warwick, NY around mid-afternoon and enter Pennings Orchard shortly after.

They currently have two apples for picking: Macintosh and Ginger Gold.  Macintosh being great for apple pies, both combined even better. They provided us with a mesh bag that holds about 22lbs of apples (about 4 apple pies) and cost $25.oo each. We headed for the Macintosh apples first.  The trees were bursting with them.  The boys started picking (and eating) right away. It was fun watching them get so excited with each apple they saw at their reach.

We then moved towards the Ginger Golds. These apples are HUGE!  And so much sweeter than the Macs.  We filled our bag quickly, and started making our way out of the orchard part and towards the market.

The market is cute. A lot of fresh baked goods and fruits and vegetables.  I loved that they had all sorts of preserves, from all sort of fruits, directly from the farm for sell. And I couldn’t resist getting some of the apple cider donuts from their on site bakery. They smelled so good and tasted so fresh.  The prices weren’t bad either, which always makes it such a pleasure to buy organic and from a local farm.

The boys enjoyed the play area located right outside, as well as the petting zoo. I didn’t notice it coming in, but the farm’s market area is located right across the street from a big shopping center, which made the market area quite busy.

Everyone was really nice, and the everything was really fresh, delicious, and well priced. The apples were delicious, and we enjoyed our first apple pie only a couple of days later.

    We went there Sun, had a great time and it was lots of fun.

    ONE thing happened and it continues to nag me so much I think i need to call them

    when we were leaving they politely asked us to open our car trunk?? they were polite, but i found it strange, so strange I was speechless. I complied and got a friendly wave.

    I think I will look for another farm next time

      Hi Omar,

      Yes. They do ask this, and I happily complied and this is why: while my husband and i were picking apples, we witnessed a couple filling up a shopping bag (not the one that you purchase upon entering the farm) with apples. The little boy that was there asked them to please use the red bags the farm gives (as having this means you paid for the apples you picked), they argued with him and moved on. Another couple filled up their stroller with apples and covered them with blankets.

      It was sad to witness as I know that these farms struggle to stay afloat and in business. And this is how they protect themselves. Again, I happily complied because I felt so bad that others were stealing from them!

      I do encourage you to try other farms (we have a list of other farms we are trying as well and will share with you)…and please let us know what you found and how it went! : )

The time has come to move on from my role as a bar The time has come to move on from my role as a barista at @the_garage_at_rye and towards my next adventure. 

I started this journey with a curiosity for a craft I admired and wanted to learn more about. It turned into a job. Then a serious passion. And now here I am, launching Café Cómodo (KOH-moh-doh), which means “Comfortable/cozy” in Spanish, a pop-up café serving espresso and seasonal drinks at local farmers markets and private events! (@cafecomodony)

Starting yet another business was never my intent…and yet, I fell further in love with the craft, the industry, and the culture.

I owe so much of what I have learned to @seschieber, who took me under her wings and taught me so much (and still does) and who embraced my nerdiness and eagerness with patience and kindness….and in the process became one of my dearest friends. Working alongside her has felt like winning the golden ticket. She further instilled in me a respect for the craft, the industry, and a commitment to always strive for a quality product, even in a world of Dunkins and Starbucks. 

Grateful for @abbdawes, @hannahmariee93, and Amanda who tolerated my clumsiness at the start while I fumbled my way through the register and the various drink recipes!

I wasn’t sure where this journey would lead, and as I look back at these clips I realize how much I have changed in the process. It’s not always a place that impacts you, but rather the people in it.

I will miss the regulars I’ve gotten to know whose names and drink orders I memorized and who I looked forward to serving. 

I’m so grateful for everything I learned, beyond just making coffee, because I know it will help me to further grow as a leader, an entrepreneur, and a team member wherever I go and in everything I do next.

I won’t miss the dark morning wake ups and long drives before sunrise though! 

I’m proudest of myself for wanting to develop a new skill and ✨DOING IT✨ even when it felt awkward, nerving, and impossible. I hope you will follow me on this next chapter and come say hi at the market (and hire me for your next event)!

Thank you to Charlie Hunter, owner of The Garage for this opportunity.
