Meadows Farm is located in Forestville New York.
In 1992, Bill, an accountant, and his wife Jane, an ER Nurse, sold their house and moved their two young children to the 30 acre farm.
They had a vision for what the farm could become, their only problem was that they barely knew anything about farming.
They read books, talked to people, experimented, failed and succeeded.
Twenty-nine years later, the Meadow’s family has made their corner of Chautauqua County into a labor of love.
They grow 10 varieties of apples, press their own brand of cider and provide customers with other locally sourced fall favorites such as honey, maple syrup, squash, pumpkins, mums and much more.
Just an hour west of Buffalo, the Meadows Farm offers U-Pick for those looking for an authentic Western New York fall experience and Ready Picked for folks just passing through.
Meadows Farm Hours & Picking Season
No matter where you go to pick your fruits and vegetables, u-pick farms will all have different open times and seasonal times based on many different factors.
We list ‘Open Season’ below as a general guide to when you can find what Meadows Farm offers.
This seasonal open date can start in the middle or end of the month. Some u-pick farms are also only open for a short period of time. Depending on where in the country you are located, some produce may have very short seasons.
The actual business hours will vary based on the farm, where they are located and when their fruits and vegetables are ripe and ready for picking.
It is impossible to get a set standard on business hours or even an exact date of seasonal openings and closings.
For this reason, we try hard to be as accurate as possible with Meadows Farm seasons. It is up to you to check with the farm to make sure they are open and what their hours of operation are.
Weather is also a factor in both the seasonal openings/closings and business hours of a farm. Weather alone can affect when a crop will ripen or even if there will be a crop available this year.
Too much rain, not enough rain and not enough sun can also affect the timing of when Meadows Farm will have a crop ready for u-pick.
We have listed the contact information of Meadows Farm below to help you with finding their open times and what produce they are currently picking. Some farms only have one produce they are picking while others will have many different fruits and vegetables available throughout the year.
Even if the farm only offers one item to pick, they may have a farmers market or fruit stand where you can buy additional items or goodies to take home with you.
We found that most farms have at least one social media account where they will list their seasonal opening and closings, including pictures of their produce.
If you are ever in doubt, please call Meadows Farm before heading out to make sure they are open.
Thank You For Supporting Meadows Farm
One of our main purposes is to support farms from all over the United States. Growing up our family would always make it a point to find a local farm to support and pick fresh apples.
Now our children get to have the same experience and learn what it means to support farmers who provide not only our fruits but also vegetables. This becomes a learning experience for them and a tradition we hope that they continue to carry with them.
Besides, going to a local u-pick farm is not only fun but gets you out of the house and active!
When you support a local farm like Meadows Farm, you are supporting small businesses and the families that go with that farm. You are also promoting a healthier lifestyle and our mission for a sustainable food source.
Some of the larger u-pick farmers also support your local food banks. We would love to see a world where our smaller farmers are producing more of our fresh produce and can compete with bigger box stores.
If you have been to a local u-pick, you probably know the difference in quality of their fruits and vegetables compared to your local box store.
Again, thank you for supporting Meadows Farm and please reach out to them if you are interested in visiting their farm. Make sure they are open before you head out.
