Rose Hill Farms

A great farm with wonderfull people. A great way to spend a fall day. It’s a reminder how important a family owned farm still is.

You pick apples here the way they’re supposed to be picked! You drive down a one-​lane dirt road and park on the grass, pick up a bag – and a hand cart if you desire (I recommend one if you’re planning to get a full bag) and head up the hill, or down the valley, or around the pond, depending which varieties are ready for picking. Last time we came late in the season and there were only a couple of types left, but today they had a half dozen varieties for picking. This is not a fancy place, the facilities are a single portable outhouse and the grounds are not accessible, but they also don’t charge «admission,» rent picking poles or indeed have much of anything but fresh apples (and occasionally other fruits in season). Yes, you may eat as many as you can while picking and they encourage you to really fill your bag: don’t miss it!

Rose Hill Farms… its a small farm in Red Hook upstate New York. Very much liked this place for it’s intimate and comforting hospitality. Features apples, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, golden raspberries (fall), and peaches. The family dogs hangs out with you and the radio flyers was very much helpful.

Nice farm with beautiful views from the top. I came here to pick peaches and was not disappointed. There were plenty of white and yellow ripe peaches to be picked… just watch the bees, yikes! A little pricey but I guess you’re paying for the experience.

What a great little place! I’ve now come here for apple picking with my in-​law family for the past 3 years and it has always been a very nice time. Go on a great Fall day — the view of the changing colors and the Catskills in the distance is just breathtaking. And then, go for the Apples because they are the absolute best here.
I suppose most people go apple picking for the social fun — hayrides, music, and what not. This place is not for that. This place is simple and classic, but their apples have some magical secret ingredient that make them superior to any I’ve ever tasted (and every person I’ve given an apple to from this farm says the same). Specifically, the Fuji are my favorite. I literally go here just for these apples!
The people who work here are very friendly and kind. This is worth a trip!

Amazing selection. Great peaches in late August. Cobbler Mix, vegetables, they also have a nice selection of cheese and dairy products. They have tons of samples too. A must stop in the area. Really great tomatoes too. They take credit cards (except American Express) so don’t hold back.

This place represents what a true upstate NY farm is! Great fruit and local people! I don’t understand the dog complaints reviews. It’s simple if they request no dogs it’s simply that no dogs. It’s called being respectful of owners wishes. I will chose this farm over Grieg farm anyday it’s called knowing which place is truly local!

Had such a good time at this family farm. Everything was very personalized and intimate. They have… CHERRIES, PEACHES and APPLES among other varieties of fruit and pumpkins and squash. We got to chat with the owners about recipes, jams, and pies and walk around the property to the fruit trees. You feel like you are apart of the family farm.
The views are spectacular of the Catskills on the top of the hill. It is all so beautiful. They have 2 labs that are so gentle with people, great with kids. There is a large sign saying to leave your own dog in the car.
Our family likes to build traditions and memories… have picnics and meet and greet other people. See the owners and get to build relationships with the family. Thank you Rose Hill Farm!

I’m genuinely confused by the poor reviews. My husband and I got there a full 30 mins before they opened and were quietly waiting by our car while the stand was being opened and set up. This was by the Owner and wife portion of the family. (Wish I’d asked her name.) After 10 mins she called over «You guys trying to beat everyone to it today?» I replied, «Yeah, early bird syndrome.» She smiled and said «Well, come on over then.»
We were allowed to go through the raspberry and blackberry patches before the apple fields. She was impressed we found almost a half pint of ripe blackberries.
By the time we finished with the berry section, others had arrived to apple pick. Shizuka and Empire were named as well as Red Delicious. She suggested we follow her husband who had gone to open a section of Empire which would have better picking.
It was quite a hike on my bad knees, but SO worth it! The apple bag was FILLED with Empire and about 9 Shizuka. (* I do a good deal of canning and preserves, so this was a bumper haul for me.)
We don’t have a dog so I don’t know about all that. I can say the two dogs we saw there got along with everyone and each other. I’m not sure if one came with a family or if both lived on the farm already.
This trip inspired us to find more U-​Pick farms in our portion of New York.

My disappointment is rooted in the farm’s callous nature (see Pismo Beach). Sometimes man cannot bring his best friend the dog along, though this can be easily addresses with, «we’re sorry, dogs are not allowed.»
When your greeting starts with a shriek and holler «put that dog back in the car now!!! Didn’t you see our [nonexistent] sign?» As the farm’s dogs came to play with my 20 pound spaniel. There’s a right and wrong way to address people, may I suggest you try the right way, or were you cluelessly duped by the same people that smacked my car on the fourth of July.
I could care less about the crop at this place, but rather the anger frenzy running it. Head up the road a few hundred yards to Greig Farm where the personnel is awesome and the setting serene — dogs are allowed with the exception of strawberry season, understandably so and pleasantly explained (take note).

Extremely dissapointed. For the past fifteen years I have been going apple and Rasberry picking at Greig farm, this year their Rasberries didn’t do we’ll so like the good customer service Greig farm has they sent us to rosé hill farm for Rasberries. We encountered the most wretched woman and nasty dogs at this place. Because Greig farm had always welcomed dogs we had a dog with us, and immedietly upon arriving their scary dog went crazy and the woman started screaming at us. I mean even if you don’t like dogs you should value customers enough to atleast speak politely. I mean good for them of their farm is doing so financially well that they can treat new customers so rudely but I can’t imagine on this economy that a farm is to good to value their customers. All I have to say is go about two more miles down the road and check out Greig farm!!!

Went to this family owned farm with my parents during the spring season to pick apples. The staff are friendly. There were a variety of apples to pick from including pumpkins. They grow cherries and strawberries for other seasons as well.
What I like the most about this farm is their delicious homemade apple pie. They also what I think are called apple pie custards, also a treat. Mm mm mm mm good… toasty!
