Rulfs Orchard and Farm Market in the Champlain Valley
Farm market mecca in the northeast corner of the ADK.
Rulfs Orchard in the Adirondacks Lake Champlain region.
Rulfs Orchard is a farm market mecca in the northeast corner of the ADK in Peru, NY. Visitors can find various farm-fresh products at any time of the year -- seasonal produce, apples, cider, doughnuts, jellies and jams, honey made from ADK bees, maple syrup products hand-crafted chocolates.
Come springtime, Rulfs opens their greenhouses. Choose from a wide variety of plants, veggies, and flowers to fill your Adirondack garden.
If growing your own is not your bag, stop back anytime from June through October and partake of the bounty of Rulfs’ farm.
We're talking in-season:
Rulfs Orchard
Cucumbers
Tomatoes
Zucchini
Yellow squash
Bok choy
Peppers
Sweet corn
All the squashes
They'll even let you pick your own strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.
Farm family fun year-round.
As if all the great produce and delicious homemade treats are not enough enticement to visit, if the store is open, so is their Petting Zoo — alpacas, horsies, goats, and donkeys.
In winter, they may close the large barn doors, but visitors can still come in through the regular door (it looks like a house door with a green sign that says you're welcome to come in!). Come say “Howdy” to the friendly critters located just across from the kids’ play area.
You never know who’ll you’ll run into at Rulfs.
And speaking of the play area, Lil’ ADKers will dig the play area, with its slide, sandbox and swing set.
Home-baked goods for sale and in their cafe.
Rulfs features an on-site bakery and cafe serving sweet and savory breakfast treats, bakery items, soups and sandwiches. They also hand-pack their homemade ice cream from May to November.

Home-baked pie is always a good idea.
