Samascott's Orchard & Garden Market

Samascott's Orchard & Garden Market

Samascott’s Orchard/Garden Market: You may know the name from New York’s famous apple picking season, or you may be a Nine Pin Hard Cider fan. The Samascott family owns and operates the Samascott Orchard and Samascott’s Garden Market in Kinderhook. The family’s farming roots date back to the early 1900s with a focus on dairy cows and crops. The farm has evolved from 180 acres to over 1000 acres and shifted to growing fruits and vegetables while raising Angus Cow and offering Pick -Your -Own . For an ideal family friendly Pick -Your -Own experience their offerings are bountiful and affordable. If you want a fun, creative way to get around the 200 acre farm, rent their SURREY (Bike) with the Fringe on Top (Any Oklahoma fans out there?!) for $10/half hour. For the most up to date information on what’s available for Pick -Your -Own and in the Garden Market, sign up for their weekly newsletters! If you’d rather shop in the garden market, you’ll find local grocery, meat, bread, veggies, fruit, plants, garden tools and of course their famous ICE CREAM! In the fall be sure to explore the Corn Maze at the Garden Market!

  • You drive your vehicle into the orchard. Your car will be inspected upon your exit, sadly this is due to produce theft. The employees are incredibly well versed in the offerings and so helpful.

  • You will be provided a map with what is available to pick that day- note picking food that is not listed on the map is NOT OK- remember to treat the plants with care, human damage to crops will affect the future bounty of our local food supply.
