Always take the scenic route, you never know what adventures you will find.

Deciding to travel on some more rural roads on a trip I came across a cool little farm stand in a trailer. I decided to stop and check it out.
Location
Hardeman Orchards is located west of the Village of Red Hook in New York on Route 199.
They had different varieties of apples for sale including my favourite: JonaMac. JonaMac is a cross between a Jonathan and a Macintosh. They also had pumpkins, other vegetables, apple cider and donuts.
Apple Cider Milkshake
This was the highlight of my stop. I believe the farm stand worker said it was apple cider mixed with vanilla ice cream. It was surprisingly light for a milkshake. It did not taste very sweet either, which is a plus in my book.
If you are in the Red Hook area check out the Hardeman Farm Stand on Route 199. Eat the donuts, get a milkshake or buy some fresh picked apples. The village also has some quaint little shops and restaurants that are worth checking out.

Mmm. I might have to try mixing apple cider with some non-dairy ice cream at home. Looks like a cute place.

I’m going to have to try it with Greek yogurt. I only do ice cream a couple of times a year.

I love roadside apple, cinnamon, and sugar donuts. It’s almost the best thing in NY during the fall.

It is! Although I think I will try to make this at home with yogurt. Apple cider has a lot of sugar in it by itself.
