About the Venue

Bad Seed Cider offers a small Hudson Valley cider orchard setting surrounded by active farmland at 43 Baileys Gap Road, Highland, NY 12528. The venue is organized around an event loft, tasting areas and orchard surroundings, creating a relaxed rural environment with an authentic agricultural identity. The venue can accommodate up to 60 guests, making the property suitable for rehearsal dinners, birthdays, workshops, company outings and intimate celebrations. The working orchard and cider focus give the venue a built-in theme that can reduce the need for heavy decoration. The available areas can separate arrivals, ceremonies, dining, presentations and entertainment while keeping the gathering connected.

Planning at Bad Seed Cider can begin with loft layout, cider service, food arrangements, outdoor access and transportation for guests arriving from outside the immediate area. The public-facing cider operation supports beverage service, while food, rentals and any outside vendors should be coordinated around the selected event format. Highland sits near New Paltz, Poughkeepsie and the Hudson River, making the property useful for groups combining a celebration with a Hudson Valley weekend. Productions should confirm power, sound, holding areas, furniture movement and exterior filming permissions. Social events should focus on guest flow, food service, weather backup and departure timing. Final pricing, minimums, hours, accessibility, parking, load-in, insurance and equipment should be confirmed before booking. The venue team can also clarify which spaces are included, when vendors may arrive, what staffing is provided and what must be removed afterward.
