" Wine Flights" We enjoyed the wine inside their wine barn. This early 1900's barn is now an air conditioned wine sampling wine barn. We paired our wine with a yummy charcuterie board. The bartender knew everything about the wines we sampled, and about the history of the Harbes family farm. After enjoying the wine, we headed out to pet the farm animals. Yes they have 2 Highland Cows. The baby goats were our favorite! Then MJ got lost in the Hedge Maze lol, see video below. We enjoyed roasted corn on the cob and some fresh lemonade. Overall a great time

Highlight: Corn Ice Cream…read more After meeting my son and his wife out east for wine tasting, we stopped by Harbes Family Farm to listen to live music and have some homemade ice cream. Harbes Family Farm is exactly as described, there's a farm to feed animals, a stand to shop for fresh veggies as well as unique ice cream flavors. My favorite was the Apple Cider Doughnut Ice Cream. Soooooo good! I also had to try the corn ice cream. I mean, I love local corn from our Long Island. If they can make vodka from Long Island potatoes, corn ice cream isn't a big stretch. This was a nice place to stop and enjoy the bounties of Long Island.

My family recently visited Patty's Bunches and Berries to pick strawberries. Unfortunately, the…read moreexperience was disappointing due to the way we were treated by staff. My young children were excited to pick strawberries, but the extreme heat made it difficult for them to continue. Since they were unable to finish filling their individual baskets, we combined what they had picked and politely asked if we could exchange it for one of the many pre-filled baskets available at the front counter. We had already paid and were simply trying to accommodate our children's comfort and safety. The older blonde woman working at the front was incredibly rude. Rather than listening to our request, she raised her voice and spoke harshly to both me and my child. There was no reason for the interaction to become confrontational, especially when dealing with a family and a child who was clearly uncomfortable from the heat. Customer service and kindness go a long way, and unfortunately neither was shown during our visit. Because of this experience, we will not be returning and cannot recommend Patty's Bunches and Berries to other families.

The Perfect Day!…read more They had me at "making fresh donuts right in front of me." I mean, how could anyone walk past that? The apple cider donuts were warm, soft, and absolutely amazing--worth the trip alone! I'm so glad I was told about Breeze Hill Farm. It's the perfect place to spend a beautiful fall day with family. When you arrive, you can choose between a $20 or $50 bag, and they give you an apple picker stick so you can start your adventure through their stunning 30 acres of apple trees. The land and environment are absolutely beautiful--open skies and rows of apple trees that make the whole place feel peaceful and welcoming. The farm grows an incredible 26 varieties of apples, and you can truly taste the organic freshness in every bite. There's something so special about eating an apple you picked yourself--it's crisp, flavorful, and full of that farm-fresh sweetness you just can't find anywhere else. There's also a cozy fire pit area to relax by, a spot to grab drinks, and the market offers fresh eggs and tomatoes for sale, which was such a nice touch. It was the perfect fall outing, and everyone in the family loved it. We'll definitely be coming back to Breeze Hill Farm next season!

We also got apple cider slushes and a hot apple cider. The slushes were so delicious they are served with whipped cream and a donut on top! The property is beautiful, there is lots of space to sit. They even put on music for us to sit back and enjoy. They have a big fire pit too! We would definitely come back. Everyone that works there is super sweet and welcoming. They offer a wedding venue there as well which looked beautiful.

I grew up on eastern Long Island and know what a good farm stand is. Unfortunately, this is not one…read moreof them. Expensive and poor quality produce. For example, bought four of their "fresh local peaches", which looked and felt fine on the outside, but all of them were rotten when I cut into them. I was going to try their corn, but when I pulled away part of the shuck, many of the ears had rot at the top and they were well past their prime. Again, so much for the "fresh", "super-sweet" advertising! I would avoid these larger stands and find the smaller ones that harvest daily and do not sell old produce. Some of the larger ones also bring in products that are not local, so there is no real way to verify the "local" claim. Eastern L.I has changed so much since I was a kid and most of it is not for the better!

Saw NJ and CT licenses so people are coming from out of state just to get these pies. We got the raspberry cream and peach cherry. Both delicious but will try more next time because I'm positive they all taste amazing! There's not much parking but people come in and out within 15 minutes typically. The pie line is usually outside the store since the inside is so small. I recommend knowing what you want before going in so they can just pack it for you immediately and keep the line moving. There's a nice field next to the store if you want to walk around a bit after the drive. There's a porta-potty

I think it was fairly priced at 14 dollars. The staff was very friendly and kept the line moving fast. They have a few tables indoor with tables in the front and back outside. We also bought the bags to go apple picking in the back. It was very nice being able to go apple picking without the crazy crowds. The bugs were a bit crazy because of the rotten apples on the floor but that is to be expected. This is my new go go apple picking spot out east.

The farm is on the property of the owner's home. The store is actually their small shed. This is definitely worth the trip. Don't be discourage by the size because you definitely find good quality ingredients. The farm is organic yay jackpot! I left home with organic chicken, honey mustard, mayo, and eggs. I have to tell you their mushroom quiche is honestly the best I've ever had in my life. Love this farm. Recently needed mayo for a dinner party .I have not been able to find good quality organic mayo without toxic chemicals until I found this farm yay! So I ordered my mayo and got it shipped to my house.Also their ginger snap moon pies are my favorite treats. When I can't come personally visit , I order online instead. So glad I found you Browder's Birds. You're definitely one of my favorite hidden gems.
