I happened to be driving from Albany to Hyde Park in Oct and saw this place and decided to stop in. So glad I did! The apple cider donuts and warm apple cider were top notch!! So good I had to make a stop on the way back for more! I also tried the apple blossom and it was fantastic.

This place has the most delicious baked goods! We tried the apple cider donuts, apple cinnamon scone, raspberry turnover, and the cranberry orange muffin. They were all delicious and fresh. Definitely the best apple cider donut I’ve ever tried. Love that they’re open year round. And the staff was super friendly and sweet!

I had a great time at Golden Harvest Farms. They have so many great baked goods, produce, and beverages to choose from. They also have a nice bbq picnic style place to eat lunch and they also have a distillery in a barn in the back. I highly recommend going to the distillery in the barn to see what they have. They make great whiskey and balsamic vinegar. It’s a great spot to get gifts for anyone because of the unmatched quality that comes from their farm. I can’t wait to come back this fall. Thanks!

This place is incredible. They have everything so fresh. They have pastries, pies, vegetables, cider and so much more.
We picked up some apples, pears, cider, honey, apple cider donuts and vodka ! They have their own distillery too! It was really cool to see their distillery and smokehouse. My partner got their Brussel sprouts from their smokehouse and it was 10/10. Also- by far- this was the best apple cider donut I have ever had. It was so incredibly fresh and soft. Their cider was perfectly hot and it just made for a perfect fall day. Marcy was super cool and had some great recommendations in there. Over all the spot is fresh and friendly. They have a huge array of items to choose from. We came from queens just to try their donuts and it was beyond worth it. Def have to try!

Fantastic experience at Smokehouse Noods! The Banh Mi sandwich was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Every bite was a perfect balance of textures and tastes. The service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal with outstanding service!

MAGICAL! I can't say enough great things about this place. Best cider donuts in the region. Awesome, yummy smokehouse. Delicious distillery in the back. Very lucky to live 10 min down the road from this place. The staff is quite lovely and courteous. Highly recommend a visit!

Get the apple cider donuts!!!! I come here to get apples and peaches a couple times a year. The staff is incredibly friendly and there is a lot of parking.
Apples are always a hit here. The maple syrup is great too. The baked goods are okay. I ordered a blueberry muffin and got a cranberry orange one instead.
