Demarest Farms, located at 244 Wierimus Rd, Hillsdale which is about 40 minutes from your Lenox apartment, allows visitors to spend the day enjoying a hayride to the fields for peaches, apples and pumpkin picking.
Make sure that you stay here for lunch – feel free to bring your own picnic lunch to enjoy on their scenic grounds or enjoy their delicious assortment of fresh-made food as well from their enormous salad bar, deli and bakery. This farm has it all!
