Prospect Hill Orchards is a “seventh generation fruit farm located in Milton, Ulster County, New York on the west side of the Hudson River. We strive to ensure our fruit is of the highest quality and to provide a superior pick-your-own experience.
Mid- June - Pick-Your-Own cherries have a short picking season and are only available in mid-June to July 4th.
July through August - We have many different varieties of peaches: yellow, white and donut! We also have apricots, plums and nectarines.
Mid-September through Mid-October - As warm summer days give way to cool fall days and crisp nights, apples begin to ripen into sweet, juicy fruits with colors ranging from red, green and yellow! They taste so great picked fresh from the trees! The apple orchard at Prospect Hill is nearly 15 acres of fruit with a picnic area located by our pond. It is a scenic and quiet setting. Modern growing techniques in the orchard use dwarf trees with the newest varieties of apples available.
Dwarf trees mean that even the youngest children can pick their own apples because the trees are small. We grow more than a dozen varieties of apples including Macoun, Mutsu, Gala, Fuji, Empire, Honeycrisp, Snap Dragon, Cortland, McIntosh, Ida Red, Rome, Red and Golden Delicious, Braeburn and Granny Smith. Many people enjoy picking our Bosc pears, too. We have recently added Asian pears to our orchard. This very popular fruit usually ripens about the end of September. A visit to the pumpkin patch will challenge you to find the “perfect” pumpkin for your Halloween decoration!
Families have a great time at Prospect Hill Orchards. There are so many things to see and do. The whole family can enjoy a tractor pulled hayride that takes you around the entire orchard, stopping by the pumpkin patches and picnic area. During our festival weekends, get lost in the corn maze, try pressing cider at the old fashioned hand press and enjoy a tasty drink for your labors. Have you ever seen a pumpkin totem pole? Well, we have one!
Come enjoy cool fall days, bright yellow and orange fall colors, and a slow paced day outdoors.”

Key Insights:
- I didn’t go to pick Cherries but will soon return next year.. My husband and I went to their Full Moon Dinner in the orchard tonight, and it was lovely.
- Can’t wait to go again with the family for more sweet and juicy peaches, plums, apricots and french fries.
- Tip 1: Remember to buy a bag of their freshly made apple cider donuts.
- Tip 3: If you don’t like using porta potties… There are a couple of nice and clean gas stations on 9w that you can hit up before you arrive at the farm..
- This is best fruit farm in NY, they have large selection of apples and pears in fall, love their cherries and peaches in spring.
