Treasury Cider at Fishkill Farms
9 Fishkill Farm Road
Hopewell Junction, NY 12533
As part of Dutchess County's ongoing Rev250 celebration — which commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 — Fishkill Farms in Hopewell Junction will host a Revolutionary Cider Celebration!
Celebrate the start of summer in the orchards at Fishkill Farms, makers of Treasury Cider. It will be a day filled with Revolutionary War and Colonial-era history, hayrides and farm experiences, and, of course, apple cider!
Enjoy Orchard Talk Hayrides with Josh Morgenthau, Owner and Operator of Fishkill Farms; a 18th Century Food Taste & Talk with Dutchess County Historian, William P. Tatum III, PhD, and Boutique Wines, Spirits & Ciders; a presentation by Cider Historian Mark Turdo titled "to be found in every house: Cider in 18th Century America;" and tales of Revolutionary Dutchess County and a dramatic reading of The Declaration of Independence by Jonathan Kruk, the Hudson Valley's master storyteller.
The Treasury Cider Bar will offer flights of four ciders of your choice on their outside cider deck for $12. Treasury will also be celebrating the release of Counterpane, its cherry and stone fruit cider featuring notes of cherry pie, cinnamon, white peach, floral, marzipan, and vanilla. You can pick your own fruit, as Fishkill Farms expects to have the following fruits in-season (subject to change): cherries (eco-certified); peaches/nectarines (eco-certified); blueberries (organic); raspberries (organic); and currants (organic). Reservations are required for pick-your-own; click here to make reservations.
Pose for photos with Destination Dutchess' very own "Commander in Cheers" and listen to stories of Dutchess County's revolutionary heroics as told by a pint-sized, augmented reality version of George Washington — also known as "Tiny George."
