Critz Farms and Critz Farms Brewing & Cider Co.

After bring my kids here over the summer for a dog rescue event, we decided to come back to get our Christmas tree! Excellent beer and cider, a fun place for kids to play and see the animals and a full-service Christmas tree farm. We live in Ithaca, so it was worth the hour drive!

The service at the bar was really slow. Three people that came after us and got served first. Funny because it wasn’t even that busy.

I bought a bottle of cider from the fridge by the bar and didn’t see the sign that said that you couldn’t drink it at the bar. I ended up going outside and drinking it in the snow.

The part that annoyed me was the fact that a lady before us bought cheese from the same fridge as the cider and they gave here crackers and a sharp serrated knife to eat it. They even apologized about the knife they gave her. (That knife would get you arrested on a plane and jailed in England). It makes sense though because cheese can’t be monetized the same way as alcohol.

Absolutely ridiculous that I can’t drink a bottle of Critz cider, at Critz farms bar. It would be the equivalent of going to a winery and not being able to order a bottle of wine.

I went to The Hopspot recently in downtown Syracuse, and your cider was the most expensive one there. I ordered it anyways because I try and support local business. You clearly care more about your bottom line than anything else. I’ll be looking elsewhere for cider in the future.

Do better.

For some reason, debit purchases at Critz Farms appear as "Mercedes-Benz" on mobile bank statements. Just a heads up.

Really nice place good ciders and beers

Late season pumpkin stop. Luckily they had a fairly good selection left

We went for an afternoon of Fall and fun on the farm and were not disappointed! We started with some beverages in the tasting room, I ordered a flight that ranged from blonde, to summery sours, and pumpkin spice. All were tasty and surprisingly one of the sours was my favorite and one of the best sours I have sampled! My daughter had a hard cider float, and a Full size sour for her BF. Service was fast and friendly on a busy afternoon. After relaxing and enjoying beverages we were off to venture the farm. Live music playing in the lawn out front, more live music down by the tents offering fresh food of the grill. Burgers, hot dog, and sausage sandwiches were enjoyed hot off the grill. Also cider donuts and locally made cheddar cheese. We took a tractor ride into the apple orchard and picked out pumpkins in the patch. Visited with the animals and hit the gift shop for some fall goodies and fresh fudge! They also have a great corn maze! It was a Sunday full of family and Farm Fall fun!

What a great place to come year-round with family, friends, or solo. They offer so many varieties - all delicious and many winning ribbons and medals. Very friendly staff. They have festivals throughout the year - you should follow them so you have access to that information. There's a large play area for the young ones, pumpkin picking, blueberry celebration. I love it there!

Phew! This place is family friendly, fun, and everyone is nice. The atmosphere is relaxing and the snacks are tasty. This is a great place to take the children and the adults. The rides are fun, apple picking a must, and the experience is worth it. This place is a 5 out of 5!

This is a great place overall for a day out with the family. Lots of stuff for kids. This is also the best place in the area to cut down a christmas tree. Fair price and good quality trees to choose from. I took off a star for a couple reasons. First, the apples in the orchard werent great. I probably wouldnt go back again for apple picking. Second, I am not sure how often they do this but this was the first time they charged us to enter. It was 10 dollars per person because today was a "festival", but there honestly wasn't anything going on that there isnt normally. Kind of wish they would just admit that they want to charge for entry or parking rather then pretend there is some non-existent event happening. Kids were free though so still worth it.

A cute farm for family with small children and those looking for a relaxing day. There are ciders, beers, farm animals, tractor and cow rides, apple picking, and more. Cost $10 to enter. Staffs are friendly.

My family of 6 enjoyed a fun Saturday afternoon at this farm. We picked apples and had a great time in the corn maze. My toddler and 10 year old liked the play areas. The animals were fun to look at. The live music was a treat to listen to while we had lunch. The corn hole and ping pong table in the food area were also great. The kids eat their food quickly and we got to take our time while they played with this things. Over all a great place to bring the family for Apple and pumpkin picking.

A fun place.

Great play area for kids and nice walk around the farm including the sunflower path. Cider from the bar was awesome and everything well cared for and clean.

Amazing family friendly fun!!

I’m astonished, flabbergasted even that there is a hard cider for me out there. I have such a sensitive digestive system, heavy emphasis on sensitive, but the double vision cider is great for me! I’m able to drink it and enjoy myself without feeling unwell. It’s delicious and crisp and light. Critz also has an excellent salsa that I will keep coming back for and I can’t wait to try some of their other drink since the cider worked so well for me.
