Stone Ridge Orchard

What Stone Ridge Orchard does

Stone Ridge Orchard is a 200-year-old, privately held working farm operating 115 acres in the Rondout Valley of Stone Ridge, New York. The business runs a diversified agritourism and direct-to-consumer operation that includes seasonal U-Pick apples and Asian pears (Labor Day weekend through October), an on-site farmstand selling produce, baked goods, and cider, a weekend Farm Bar/Tasting Room with cider flights and locally sourced beverages, and award-winning house-made hard ciders. The core technology is traditional farming and hospitality rather than software, with no proprietary digital platform beyond a Weebly website and Clover-based online ordering for CSA sign-ups and event tickets.

Revenue is generated through multiple complementary streams: retail farmstand sales, U-Pick transactions, subscription-based CSA shares (Fruit Share at $15/week and Vegetable Share from Hepworth Farms at $40/week, with Full, Half, and Quarter Season durations), CSA add-ons (pasta, eggs, soft cider, quiche, fruit pie), wedding and private event venue rentals (Single Day, Multi-Day, and Full Weekend), glamping accommodations via five Tentrr-listed campsites, wood-fired pizza and food-truck catering, and ticket-driven seasonal events such as the 30th Annual Spring Wassail. CSA content is sourced through partnerships with Breezy Hill Orchard, Hepworth Farms, and Knoll Krest Farm, extending the product mix well beyond the orchard's own yield.

Customers are individual consumers and small private groups across the Hudson Valley and surrounding markets, segmented into CSA members, farmstand and U-Pick visitors, wedding and event clients, glampers, and farmers market shoppers at nine Hudson Valley towns. The go-to-market is exclusively direct-to-consumer and community-led: pre-season CSA subscriptions, on-site retail, weekend bar operations, regional farmers markets, the Tentrr marketplace, and contact-based event bookings. With 1-10 stated employees and significant seasonal hiring for the upcoming season, the operation remains small and founder-led, leveraging heritage, location, and a multi-channel consumer model rather than scale or technology as its principal economic levers.
