| Welcome to our
u-pick apple farm! The patchwork quilt history of Hurd's hundred year old
farm is an example of good old Yankee ingenuity. In the early 1900s, Graham
Hurd was a self sufficient Hudson Valley farmer. When son Melford Hurd joined
him on the farm they grew small fruits: strawberries, raspberries, currents,
and grapes, some of which were harvested and shipped along the Hudson River
to New York City customers. In the mid 1900s, the family decided they enjoyed
growing deciduous fruit trees such as cherries, peaches, pears, plums, and
apples, thus replacing the small fruit. Apples and pears reigned king for
the next seventy years! |
