Orchards are very nice and have a variety of berries and veggies, but service is very poor. Checkout girl was mean.
I have come a few times to purchase apples and other treats (they are the best orchard around for staymen apples which are especially delicious) and I have always found the fruit to be terrific - fresh and great prices. Cannot say the same for their fudge - I made the mistake of buying about 4 lbs last year and it was stale and icky - but I go back because I love their apples and it is always a treat to go into the orchards.All of their produce is fresh and wonderful - I always go overboard and spend way too much but I have treats that last for ages. Highly recommend.
Friendly staff as well. Pick your own or let them do it.
I moved from Kinderhook to the east coast of Florida and while the beach is heavenly, I miss the apples, cider, and colored leaves of Autumn. Whenever I can, I come back up and head for Samascott's for an apple fritter and hot cider. Their pies are wonderful, too. Apple butter and jelly and maple syrup always find their way into my suitcase as well. And for the entire time I'm up there, my main beverage is fresh apple cider - warm or cold, it's nectar of the Gods!
Samascotts' is wonderful! It is a family owned business that has worked hard and endured through several generations, bringing well marketed and fresh products to the present. We are so fortunate to have them in Kinderhook!
I always go to SamAScott for strawberries and blueberries. There are so many fields there are always tons of berries for everyone. The shop makes a delicious blueberry milkshake too! Highly recommended over the other farms in the Albany area.
Enjoyed the fresh air leisurely picking great apple assortment!
We went last year. 2012 was a very bad year for apples. However in a normal year this place is great. Many different varieties to pick as well as pears, pumpkins and squash. Get some cider and cider dougnuts on the way out.
My husband and I ride our bikes to the orchard. We have a great time driving past the orchards and fields and picking what is currently in season. They have apples pears plums cherries raspberries strawberries blackberries blueberries peaches. Not to mention the variety of vegetables. The pick your own is great.
Great place to get fresh seasonable fruit,most fruits available throughout the season,large selection,locally grown and picked!
