Gade Farm

For several years now we’ve been coming to Gade Farm to get our Christmas tree. They have a good variety of beautiful, healthy looking trees, and the prices range by variety/​size. I am happy to come here, spend $ 35 – 40 on a tree, and support local business rather than go to Home Depot to save a few bucks. Their customer service is excellent, too! We will be back next year!

Did you know they make hot, fresh apple cider donuts all year long in their bakery? You don’t have to wait on horrendously long lines either!

Meadow Brook Farms milk, in a glass bottle. Yes.

As part of our desire to try cider donuts in new locations, we thought a nice sunny Fall day called out for a drive to the Gade Farm since their donuts were included on a recent «4^th annual tour de donut» conducted by the FUSSYlittleBLOG. We’d driven by this place many times over the years, especially on the way to Candy Kraft, but we never stopped and were not aware that they made cider donuts.
These donuts were the smallest cider donuts I’d ever come across. They were also the heaviest and densest. There was some crustiness to the outside with a reasonable amount of granular sugar, but not a lot of apple cider flavor. There was also a noticeable flavor of oil from the frying. Bottom line, while this might be the most convenient place for us to drive to have cider donuts, I’ll continue to pass them by even when heading to Candy Kraft for my Xmas candy.
There are numerous other things to buy here that are grown on their own farm, or produced in New York State, e.g., meats and breads. At this time of year there is also a maze for adults and kids. Everything other than the donuts earned the 3^rd star.

Best selection of perennials I could find in the area. They lose one star b/​c the the plants in the greenhouse are packed a little too close together and get kinda llanky as a result. BUT, they are still better selection and quality than I’ve seen elsewhere. Great little farm store too. Homemade cider donuts were delicious.

This is our local go to place for summer corn on the cob! Other great fresh veggies and local products are also stocked. Their nursery has a nice plant selection.

I used to go here as a child with my grandparents (R.I.P.). They always have lots of fresh veggies and homemade baked goods. It’s a nice change from chain supermarkets, as I prefer to spend my money at locally owned businesses. I agree with the previous reviewer as I would also like to see a greater selection of organic produce. I don’t get to go there too often anymore, but when I do it’s a nice trip down memory lane :)

Great selection of fresh fruits and veggies. Minus a star because they should have more organic foods.
