Dressel Farms

Dressel Farms is a family-owned and operated business located in the scenic Hudson Valley in New Paltz, New York. Fred Dressel originally bought the farm in 1957 from Rulloff Dubois' widow after being its foreman for more than 15 years. Together with his son Roderick, he improved and grew the farm to what we know it as today. Eventually, Rod's son (Rod Jr.) returned to the farm after graduating from Cornell University and assumed a major role in the business.  

Today, the farm is being run by 3 active generations of Dressels including Rod Sr, Rod Jr, his wife Debbie and their children Tim and Sarah- both recent Cornell graduates themselves. This dynamic has allowed Dressel Farms to maintain its family farm traditions while staying current with new trends in agriculture, business and technology. The Dressel's main crop are apple varieties and they have a pick-your-own season.

Fix Brothers Fruit Farm

The Fix Farm was established in 1899 when John Henry Fix emigrated from Germany and settled with his family in the Hudson Valley in Upstate New York. His son William Henry continued the farm until 1953, when his sons William and Robert took over. It was William and Robert that named the farm Fix Brothers and added more varieties of produce to the farm including apples, pears and peaches. The Fix Family takes great pride in producing high quality fruit and carrying on their legacy.

Fix Brothers has a "Pick your Own" operation at their Livingston, NY farm, where cherry, peach and apple orchards are open to the public June through September.
