In late April and May, the farm is a sea of white and pink blossoms from thousands of apple, peach, and cherry trees. While they don't have a massive "u-pick" tulip field, they have a lovely farm market and a petting zoo with goats and sheep that kids (and adults) love. It is the perfect spot to stay close to Tuxedo, grab a homemade ice cream from their shop, and take a short walk to the "scenic lookout" to see the entire valley in bloom.
