Twin Star Orchards is located less than two hours away from NYC and offers a picturesque trip for apple picking, free cider tastings, exploring the orchards, casual dining with wood-fired Neapolitan pizza and burgers overlooking a pond, and an opportunity to purchase hard ciders, New York wines, spirits, and cheeses.
Their philosophy – Ugly Apples Taste Better – puts aesthetics aside to focus on what’s truly important: the most flavor possible.
