This season
U-pick was listed as closed at the time of checking. The farm announces its picking dates by email rather than publishing a calendar, so the mailing list is the way to catch them.

Apple Barrel Orchards at Penn Yan is a fourth-generation working fruit farm on 86 acres in the heart of the Finger Lakes, with a cidery attached.
Picking was closed at the time of checking. The farm announces its dates to a mailing list rather than posting a calendar: "Sign up to hear about special events at our cidery, The Barrel Club membership, u-pick date announcements and more from the farm."
Pro tip: get on the list. A farm that announces its picking dates by email is a farm whose dates move, and Penn Yan is seventy kilometres from Rochester, which is a long way to drive on a guess.
We list what we have confirmed. If something you need is not shown, it is worth calling the farm to check.
Our own assessment, scored the same way for every farm on the site, from what each farm publishes about itself. Not a visit, and not a public review score.
