Wild Hive Farm

Not too far off the Taconic Parkway, Clifton Corners is barely a corner. The old country store is a quaint restaurant with micro-milled flour and local produce for sale up front. There's a case full of baked goods. The menu is varied and difficult to choose from - everything looks good. The place was busy and we waited 10 minutes for a table during the lunch hour. There was fresh brewed iced tea. The squash soup was perfect with a wholesome bread on the side. The hardiness of the bread made for excellent French toast.

Meadowbrook Farm

Living in NYC makes this view noteworthy.I've always focused on the smell of the outdoors, especially those times of year when change is evident, spring and fall. Apple picking journeys offer fall colors and scents. It didn't take long to gather 36 pounds of apples, mostly green delicious.Meadowbrook Farm has the apple orchards, friendly staff, and barn full of other goods: vegetables, preserves, and homemade doughnuts. It seems that homemade donuts are part of the playbook for family run U-pick apple orchards. There were even goats and chickens. The Farm is in Wappinger Falls, northeast of Poughkeepsie in Dutchess County.
