They have dwarfed apple trees with fruits 18'' from the ground, a perfect size for children.
There varieties of apples begin ripening the end of August continuing into early October. All apples are pick your own.
They are a small orchard that closes frequently due to no ripe fruit to pick.
Not much to do here but pick. The perk is that it is probably the closest to the city of all pick-your-own farm on Long Island.
They have incredible honey extracted form their hives and made available at their farm stand.
The website is pretty vague. I have tried calling numerous times but have never gotten through. Try your luck because for many, this may be the closest of all farms on the Island. There is no hint as to pricing available on the site either.
Kill a few birds with one stone: Visit Main Street in Northport nearby (an adorable town) and Asharoken Beach and Sunken Meadow State Park (I haven't been yet but this is a local beach with a boardwalk and looks amazing on google images! Will be sure to visit if I ever go to this farm.)
