Haydens Orchard - Wading River, New York

I found Hayden's Orchard in a Google search for peach-picking farms back in 2021, and it has became my favorite farm out east. They offer
a great variety of peaches and apples. The prices are reasonable compared to other farms in the area, which tend to overcharge for a similar experience.
Last time I went with my family (there are six of us), we paid around $10 per person and got 20 pounds of peaches with that fee. Hence the wristbands. Anything over that was $3 per pound, which is a great deal when you consider you're picking them yourself—it’s such a fun activity to do with family, especially in August when peach season is at its peak.

The staff is always friendly and helpful, but I do recommend bringing your own wagon. Trust me, those peaches get heavy after a while! It's a nice workout though, and a great way to get your steps in.

My family loves it, and despite trying other places, we always end up back at Hayden's for both peach and apple picking. Definitely give them a try—you won’t be disappointed!

This is a fantastic place. We came and we had a blast. As of 2023 the price is $30 for 10 lbs of peaches. Donut peaches were included in this price. This is a bargain. And it's free parking

$10 per family gets you in the orchards with a shopping bag to collect the peaches. If you get more than 5 Lbs, you pay for the extra peaches. Different rows of the orchard have different varieties of peaches and nectarines which are ripe at different times. The orchard staff will direct you to the best locations for the day of your visit.

Never knew about this place until this summer. Had a great time picking peaches and nectarines. The entry price is $20 but that let's you leave with 10lbs of fruit!

This is the farm we like to come when we want to visit farm and this is 3rd time we came.
We visited the farm for peachnut, but there is no more until October. We were a little Disappointed.
The entrance fee is $20 per group, but you can bring home 10 lb of peaches for free. Any additional is just $2 per lb.
The staff was nice. we didn’t picked 10lb and the staff gave up extra peach to make it up. And told us that we need to go early next time if we want to pick up the peachnut. (The peachnut pictures were from last time picking)

First time picking peaches. Loved the experience. Beautiful time for a calm date or a beautiful time with family. Definitely recommended.

The enterance is $20 for a group of 3 people and you can take home 10 lbs of peaches you pick in this enterance fee. Anything over 10 lbs is $2 per lb. They said on the phone red, white and yellow but red was not allowed to be picked.

The peaches were not fully ripe but its ok i like them like that. Fun activity for family.
I went to the farm on sunday 7/18/21
