Nestled in Finger Lakes wine country, and blessed with dreamy soil for growing fruit trees, Indian Creek Farm is a 100-year-old orchard and u-pick spot. Come visit the farm for seasonal picking of apples, peaches, pumpkins, berries, and vegetables. It is just 3 minutes from downtown Ithaca, New York and 10 minutes from the Ithaca Commons. If you want country air and a sense of accomplishment, wander the farm to try your hand at picking. The orchards, veggie fields, and berry patches are your “grocery aisles” with a view. In their Vintage Orchard, you will find the classic varieties McIntosh, Cortland, Rome Beauty, Red Delicious and Northern Spy. Growing on 100-year-old trees that have weathered the ages, these apples are fresh and familiar at the same time.
You can think of Indian Creek Farm as the state park with free admission. Eight dollars gets you into a state park—it costs nothing to visit the farm. Stroll around, have a picnic, grill out, use the free wifi. They are open every day, 8:30 AM to dark, July through November. You can pick fruits and vegetables in the fields—or pop into the farm stand for fresh produce that they have already harvested.
