NEW CITY, NY – The Town of Clarkstown holds a street dedication ceremony in Memory of Army Medic James Anthony Margro KIA in Vietnam.

Apple Picking, Pumpkins and Hayrides: Fall Is Back at Dr. Davies Farm

Published

on

For five generations, the Davies family has been farming the land at Dr. Davies Farm in Congers — growing produce, welcoming visitors and creating memories that have become part of the community’s fall tradition.

As autumn arrives, the farm once again invites families to enjoy a day filled with classic fall activities, from apple picking and pumpkin picking to hayrides and navigating the corn maze.

Apple picking is available every day from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, visitors can also enjoy hayrides, pumpkin picking, the corn maze and fresh apple cider donuts.

For those looking to extend their visit, Red Barn Cidery offers live music and food trucks every Thursday through Sunday, making it possible to turn a trip to the farm into a full fall outing.

The farm also welcomes organized groups during the week. Special weekday rates are available Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. for schools, senior groups and adult daycare programs.

After five generations of farming the land, the Davies family says one of the most rewarding parts of the season is seeing families return year after year — while watching new generations create their own memories.
