I must say its really a great time for the whole family however the place is kind of small and I could definitely use an addition but as far as a great place to be definitely. Make sure its warm. Also, there is a concession stand with cider and donuts and all of the above it is so delicious great job
Awesome spot with a huge selection of local and homemade goods/produce along with a super cool beer garden in the back. All the beer and cider we sampled was excellent!
Great little place for a drink and a bite to eat. Beautiful views and great beers and ciders. If you are into ciders i would recomend the lavender and honey cider. It taste like an apple pie.
After going apple picking, make sure to go right up the road and check of the Brewery. There is all kinds of niknaks and apple products. I didnt know they made apple cider jelly. And you HAVE to get some the fresh cider donuts. There is a small restraunt inside the shopping center. There is also a petting zoo in the back. A great family place.
Great cider. Some of the best I have ever had. Good was really good too. Except the chicken wings. I would skip those. But outside of that this place is a must see and try. Highly recommended.
Very nice stop. Great cider and beer. Farmers market. Cider Donuts and doughnuts sweet cider and lovely views
Nice place to take kids for apple picking. They also have a few areas spread out for adults or children to feed animals and a small play area for children with shovels and cars. The cider donuts are really good and I liked their beer.
If you are looking for apple cider vinegar tasting hard cider, this is your place. We tried all 6 ciders on tap and they all tasted like watered down apple cider vinegar. We did not try the food, this review is only about the cider.
My granddaughter love the babies animals we had a great time we went to eat and had some cider 😋 I definitely recommend it
This pick your own Orchard does things a little bit differently than Im used to. Instead of paying for apples by the pound, you buy a bag and fill it up. At the time we went, one bag was $22 and a second bag was 18. They might run specials or have price differences at different points in the season. We went in mid- September. Offers a childs play area and a market for pre-picked apples and other orchard products.
Food is no longer served. The website is in need of update to reflect this. Not sure if the tasting room is still open or not. I would assume not since I saw no signs of it. If youre interested in picking apples, there is ample parking.To Reply: We asked if food is still served and we were told No, closed last year and has not reopened. We werent told about an upstairs cafe. All we saw was an open space outside with no humans in sight. Time of day was almost noon. We know of your hours and days open, thats why we drove out to the country. Thanks for the reply. Maybe well give it another go.
A great place for a date or family outing. The restaurant and bar portion isnt that good but everything else is awesome. My wife and I love the scenery so much we actually came here for pictures after our wedding.
Wow, this is the perfect combination of all the the best things. Brewery patio was awesome and the gift/bake shop were fun for the kids. Didnt even get a chance to explore the whole property. Wish I lived closer!
Got the best warm cider donuts here. We didnt pick apples today but bought some in the store. It looks like there is a ton of apple trees and varieties to pick. The brewery area looked like a nice play to sit and have beer and cider and we will definitely be back to try it when we dont have the puppy with us
A bag of apple is 27 dollars, they take cash and card, Always great to stop by with the family.. Less animals this year in the farm and two options of apple available so far as of 9-11..
Pros1. Nice outdoor environment2. Most of the food was good.. especially the wings and chicken tenders.3. The staff here was very polite.Cons.1. We were charged 1 dollar to split The flavor on our wings... (Price gouge alert)2. The colossal pretzel was big and the taste was okay... but definitely not colossal... Definitely not worth $16... Perhaps eight bucks. (Bad value)3. The ramen soup wasnt that good and I wouldnt call it ramen soup... Looks like ramen but doesnt taste like ramen and the noodles arent ramen style.Overall not the best value since the bill was about $170 for four people... For that we could have done some fine dining.
Great atmosphere, amazing food, tasty beers/cider with a family feel. All nestled at the base of the Helderbergs.
Very disorganized for hosting a wedding venue. The business only has two bathrooms on the entire grounds, so if you have a lot of people, more than a hundred you may have an issue. The dance Barn nor the outside tents had any type of backup heat for inclement weather. There is no separation from the wedding event or the general public, it is all open. Redefinement in how the land is laid out should be taken into consideration by the owners. This is only my opinion. Yours may differ.
Safe Outdoor dining! Woohoo!The food was great. I had the Friday night vegan Ramen. Wonderfully spicy and tofu and kimchi- wow!The pulled pork was crispy and the taste to die for. Were told it had been smoking all day.Our waitstaff (Donna) was well informed about the menu and made great drink recommendations.Well done, ILFB!! Love it there.
Great views, awesome donuts, and pick your own apples, and now with a wide array of hard cider, craft beer, and smoked BBQ! Whoopitty do. And if you have kids, dont miss the farm animals. Gotta love this place. A Capitaland gem!
This is delicious. I love that kids can play in the sand while we wait for food. Its a welcome addition to an already-fun destination.
Listen. Im serious, listen to me. They have the absolute best giant pretzel Ive ever had, and Im somewhat of a pretzel aficionado. Get the pretzel. We got two, because we couldnt help it.
I think a lot of the ciders have a very similar taste. Food from there regular menu is ok. Staff is friendly but service can be slow on a busy night. Its not bad, not great...theres nothing that stops me from going back.
Beer, food and venue are perfect. Love coming here to get away from the industrial scene that a lot of breweries seem to be catering to. Cant wait to come here during the warmer months for outdoor events.
Indian ladder farms has a great selection of beer and cider thats made on premises. They have some of the best hard cider Ive tasted. Its not super sweet like most other ciders out there. The outdoor seating is great as well as the sit down dining. Me and my family visit this place atleast twice a month.
Beer was excellent everything was clean and well distanced. The food was good though I was a bit confused by the BBQ pork ramen lacking salt and any Asian flavors. Will. Definitely try again though.
Nice farm brewery with great food and beer and an awesome team of folks to help serve you
It was fun. My children and I went to pick apples and had some cider.. it was a good time.

2021-10-12The ambiance of the place is great. The food was good I recommend to stick to the main items of the menu, we tried the chicken tenders, the chicken sandwich and the tacos. The ciders are also worth trying. The service was great. Please keep in mind that during the weekend it’s busier , we had to wait 40-60 min for a table. In the meantime go to the market next door or try to get some of their famous donuts.

2021-09-26Friendly service, great food, and even the bees came by to say hello. Had the chicken sandwich and it was DELICIOUS. Wife had the lavender cider which she about died for, it was so good.

2021-10-26I recently went upstate to visit a friend & came here. I absolutely loved it! I definitely plan on coming back as often as possible. I couldnt find anything to dislike.

2022-04-01Great establishment. They worked hard during the pandemic to make over the stage and restaurant areas. The food is very good. Big changes there. Well beyond the typical bar comfort food menue. The beer and cider menue is very impressive. You are going to like it. They promote local music and the patrons do realize that they have something special there. You wont be disappointed.

2021-07-23Awesome place for the whole family! Plenty to do including pick your own, the nature trail, animals, and the brewery/cidery so it makes for a great day trip.

2022-05-07This was my first post covid-times visit and things at the brewery are better than ever! There is now a much more diverse menu from burgers to tacos to ramen, and of course rhe delicious brews and ciders. If you havent tried the dopplebock, you should. These guys literally wrote the book on hop growing (also a good read! I recommend it) so i dont judge too heavily that their selection is geared towards IPAs. We came here on a Friday and it was pretty busy - a private party inside and trivia outside, but there was still a seat available for our party of 6 because their outdoor seating area is spacious and well designed. Bonus points that they offered to bring us a high chair outside! I ordered their AMAZING fries and the seitan wings (so happy they offer some vegetarian food without mushrooms - im allergic). Their ramen looked great too. I was pleased to discover that they also have a sandbox which kept my 2yo happy as well. Any night out that ends in happy toddler and happy mom is a win! Cant wait to return. Ps we really miss the cheese curds! Please bring them back!

2021-07-06Great place to stop for a flight of ciders. They have an amazing patio area for decent size groups of people. Make sure to say hello to the donkey.

2022-04-25This place used to be decent, but they seem to change their menu items frequently, and it’s become extremely expensive. $18 for a chicken sandwich? This isn’t NYC, and I can’t ever justify paying $18 for one sandwich. Tried to go yesterday, wait was 45 mins for a table, which was fine, but when they called me to lmk the table was ready, they tried to seat us at a fire pit with ADK chairs and a barrel to eat off of. That may have been fine if we didn’t have two dogs with us, so I requested an actual table. Once they found us a normal table and seated us, we waited an additional 15 minutes, and no server in sight, so we got up and left. With lacking customer services, and an over priced menu, we won’t be returning.

2022-03-27We had the most fun in our family tiki! The food was off the hook. Meatiest wings Ive had anywhere in longer than I can remember and the brisket stack nearly caused an arm wrestling match for the last piece. The salad was huge in the half size and made me Google where to get those beans. The fam says top 5!!!

2022-03-05These guys are awesome. Especially supporting old glory . Top notch farm. Everyone should visit and speak to the owners whom are very vested in their farm and supporting other local breweries. Can not wait to visit again.
