Welcome to Hurd Orchards
We are busy preparing for the glorious season ahead and look forward to opening our Market & Farm for the season in early May.
Hurd Orchards
Is the farm that we call home.
For generations we have been orchardists here –
nestled between the banks of the Erie Canal
and the shores of Lake Ontario.
Our orchards are made possible only by the rich alluvial soil left by the ancient glaciers and the gentle embrace of the great lakes.
For us our farm stands for timelessness and beauty. Generational fruit growing.
The sensory inspiration of the seasons.
The seamless weaving of heritage and future.
Health and nutrition; flavor and the table.
We cherish landscape and gardens,
Flowers and freshly made preserves,
A pie right from the oven,
The warmth of the old stove –
Alongside the fellowship of guests and friends.
Join us throughout the season,
For fruit harvest, and a stroll through our market.
Enjoy a menu in our historic barn
Or a class garden-side.

A SEASON OF BEAUTY | A TABLE OF PLENTY
A MENU OF HEALTH AND NUTRITION
June 7th – October 25th 2024
In our family fruit is always on the table.
Even as we consider what might be for supper our fingers automatically begin to slice or core or rinse or place on a platter, the fruit of the day. Our mornings begin with a dash of delicious berries on yogurt.
Our lunches might be slices of the most flavorful apple with our favorite
cheese and every gathering of friends has a tray of treats to start – a salty or sweet dip with juicy peach slices – big blackberries or plums, a pear or just picked strawberries.
What a privilege! Each day is filled with fun and health and nutrition. Each repast is filled with flavor.
And – each purchase is a compliment to the countryside.
In addition to our Preserves, Vinegars & Applesauce, we have a curated selection of the best Kitchen Essentials:
Cheeses from the Northeast, Local Maple & Honey Products,
Soup Mixes from Pennsylvania,
all-natural Dish & Cleaning Products made in Pittsburgh, PA,
Classic Kentucky-made Tea,
organically grown Herbs & so much more.
A new season of remarkable farm harvests and programs awaits. Each is bountiful, beautiful, and delicious.

From The Farm Gift Collections
Each one is handmade and heartfelt and features the harvest of our own acres.
We grow and gather, cook and stir and bake all season long
and by wintertime our confections are ready to send far and wide
and with them comes the artistry, the heritage and careful thought
of our family farm here in Western New York.
We are so proud of our gift boxes which are made for us here in
New York State using lovely Italian botanical papers.
We tie each one with grosgrain ribbons and nestle on top our forest greens and pine cones
so each gift is a centerpiece as well as a keepable storage box
as well as being filled with delectable contents.
