Consider Fishkill Farms, a family-owned apple orchard and farm market that has been serving East Fishkill for generations. Beyond their delicious produce, they host seasonal events that draw the community together, from apple picking in the fall to farm-to-table dinners that celebrate local cuisine. Their commitment to sustainability and local agriculture not only enriches our dining experience but also enhances our connection to the land.
