Fishkill Farms
Fishkill Farms is an apple orchard and small-scale farm located in Hopewell Junction, a hamlet of East Fishkill in Dutchess County, New York. Founded by family friends of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Fishkill Farms is one of the Hudson Valley's oldest apple orchards. Organic Authority LLC named Fishkill Farms its 2010 "top pick" apple farm in the New York City area.
== History ==
Fishkill Farms was founded by U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., who purchased the land in 1914. The farm has been handed down through family members, including former Manhattan District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau. The farm is now run by his son, Joshua Morgenthau. Joshua initially moved the property to pursue landscape painting but soon took up maintaining the family farm as his chief pursuit.
The farm originally produced apples, chickens and dairy but Henry Morgenthau Jr. ceased dairy farming during World War II when hired help was hard to find.〔 In 1980, a hailstorm damaged the apples and rendered them unsellable to wholesale distributors so Robert opened the orchard up to the local public for U-pick harvesting. The farm has been doing U-pick ever since.
