ABOUT
Welcome to Uncommons Farm
Uncommons Farm is a chef-driven orchard and microfarm in the Hudson Valley, growing exceptional apples and uncommon fruit, and a place to discover the landscape around you.
A WHALE IN AN APPLE TREE
We wanted a symbol connected to Hudson, and kept coming back to the whale. It references the city’s maritime history, even if it’s the last animal you’d expect to find in an orchard. A bit strange, a little playful, and local - it felt like a perfect fit for Uncommons.
THE ORCHARD, BRIEFLY
A short chronology
Over 2,000 trees of Empire, Rome and Red Delicious.
The farm becomes Uncommons. Pruning and topworking the old trees begins.
Two colonies arrive in the lower field. Clover and pea sown to build the soil. First harvest in September.
Stone fruit, pears, grapes and new apple varieties planted in the renovated orchard.
