Parking, Tickets & Transportation
I usually drive in, and parking has always been effortless—there’s a spacious lot, and the layout feels welcoming. Whether you’re driving off Route 9W or the Thruway, it’s easy to get to. There are no tickets or entrance fees—just walk right in and let your eyes explore all the sections of the store.
Vendor Information
Though not a multiple-vendor marketplace, Adams brings together numerous departments under one roof. I’ve found myself wandering from the sunlit garden center stocked with seasonal blooms to the deli and bakery counters that fill the air with fresh aromas. Other departments include produce, meat, seafood, cheese, coffee, sweets, florist, gift baskets, and even landscaping services.
Tips for First Timers
I’ve learned a few things to make your visit smoother. Go earlier in the day when fresh bakery scents and garden freshness are at their peak. Bring both cash and card—some departments may have different payment preferences. If you’re there for something specific, like planting supplies or catering options, asking an associate always leads to helpful advice and happy discoveries.
Why Adams Fairacre Farms Is a Must-Visit
There’s a warmth to this place I don’t find at chain stores. I once picked up a surprisingly creative bouquet from their florist after grabbing apple cider donuts from the bakery. Walking around the garden center feels like stepping into a growing oasis—and there’s always a friendly nod or helpful tip from staff. Each visit I leave with fresh ingredients, local produce, and a little piece of Hudson Valley charm in my hands.
Instagram-Worthy Market Moments
One of my favorite shots is the booming floral display outside—plants and blooms layered like a living rainbow. Inside, the hot bar counter glows under lights, perfect for a food close-up with melted cheese or warm pie in frame. And don’t skip the produce section—rows of colorful market-fresh fruits make a naturally beautiful backdrop.
