    I was craving some fall vibe outside of the city. We stopped by this farm while looking for some…read morecozy fall vibes on Long Island, and it definitely had that seasonal charm. Food & Drinks: 4/5 I was mostly here for the food, so I went straight for the apple cider and donuts. The cider (12oz) was around $1.50 and tasted classic--not too sweet and warm--but the donut situation was a little disappointing. It was dry and not warm at all. They had pre-packaged ones with extra sugar on top, and I personally just wanted a simple, fresh one. We also grabbed a pumpkin loaf, and in total spent $18 for a pumpkin loaf, three donuts, and two ciders, which isn't terrible. Ambiance: 5/5 It's clearly a spot for gardeners and families--lots of pumpkins, plants, and kids running around. If you're not here to garden or bring kids, you might run out of things to do pretty quickly. Still, the setting is lovely for a short stop, especially if you're already in the area. Service: 3/5 Lines for drinks were a bit long, and the setup felt slightly unorganized, but the staff was polite and trying their best with the crowd. In all in all, a nice little fall stop if you're nearby or just want a quick cider-and-donut moment, but not a place I'd go far out of the way for--unless you're gardening or pumpkin-picking with family.

    Honestly, I'm surprised by the low ratings on this place. I grew up going here with my grandmother…read morewhen it was Martin Viette's. The new owners have kept up the same high-level of quality, huge selection, upscale vibe, gift shops, indoor plants, outdoor plants, friendly, helpful, employees, and beautiful, peaceful atmosphere. They're no more expensive, than any other plant nursery unless you're comparing them to Home Depot and Lowe's and there's really no comparison. I found the employees to be very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. There is a huge selection of garden plants, pots, statuary etc. Multiple gift shops inside. They have a rewards program so I would sign up for it if you shop there. There are chickens, roosters, and I think it was baby goats, so there's fun things for the kids to do too. It's extremely clean and very well organized. The plants look really healthy. I was very impressed.

    This was my first time attending the Oyster Festival in Oyster Bay (and first time in Long Island)!…read moreIt's nice that there aren't any tickets required for entry, though it is a long haul from NYC. We came on a beautiful Saturday and were super excited to get fresh oysters and (or so we thought) for cheap! It's a nice venue by a school and park right by the bay, and it gets very very crowded, especially in the afternoon. There are some nice craft vendors, but my partner and I were really excited for the food. The seafood options were good, but much more limited than I thought. There was only one vendor selling oysters, and the only mode of preparation was raw (nothing grilled or otherwise more creative). I was pretty surprised by how steep the pricing was, though I'm glad the proceeds go back to the community in some form (6 oysters for $20). I was a bit disappointed by the quality of some of the oysters we got for that pricing, as there were some that were pretty small, flat and not as high quality. The other seafood options were good, and I really enjoyed a fried coconut shrimp kebab that was $25. Overall, it's a nice festival vibe and well managed, just pricey and some of the food quality around the star oyster was not quite up to expectations! I am giving it an extra star because it's by the water and the town was super quaint and beautiful!

    Every year for the past 7 years, minus 1 pandemic, my family and I will go to the Oyster Fest. It's…read morebecome a nice tradition. We always start with a lobster roll, which unfortunately go up by about $5 per year (they're now at $30 apiece, so not sure if we'll be keeping that part of our tradition). Then we go through the tents to see if there's anything worth buying, and off to the beer tent for a few, and then we gorge ourselves on other delicacies. There's always a woman selling fudge there who I always hit up for a few chunks to take home with me. This year I had a foot long hot dog for $6 from a German place. It was excellent. We'll definitely be back next year, just maybe not eating anymore lobster rolls, as $30 each for 5 people gets a bit steep very quickly.

I'm excited to bring my son here for his first pumpkin picking experience in a few months! Year round, they have the best apple cider donuts. The cinnamon sugar is our favorite but all of the flavors are fresh and delicious. It's worth the trip just to try them, trust me!

    When one thinks of the words 'rural' and 'farmland,' these are not terms one hears a lot in Bergen…read moreCounty, NJ, one of the most heavily populated counties to surround New York City. Yet the county has a rich history in farming and agriculture from the late 1600s up into the 1970s. The small farms in north Jersey do more than just provide fruits and vegetables for our tables. They are open-air classrooms to our agricultural past, places to buy fresh produce and baked goods to support local family farm stores, and places for interesting special events and outings for families. Being the first Saturday after Labor Day, my partner and I got a head start on the apple cider donuts made fresh daily, just oozing with apple cidery goodness and never hot. Since 1973, located on Airmont Avenue in Mahwah, Secor Farms is a reminder of Bergen County's rural past and one of the last farms left in the area, passed down through three generations. Upon arrival in the afternoon, parking was not an issue with only a handful of vehicles. However, the farm comes alive starting Sept 15 with a corn maze, hayrides, pumpkin picking, and a petting zoo where reservations are required, with all sorts of activities. Their outside garden centers had pumpkins, gourds, fall decorations, and mums for purchase. We went inside their marketplace full of produce and managed to get a bag of mixed apple cider donuts and a quart of apple cider. These baked donuts have the sweet tartness of apple cider with a coating of cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar. They were soft, moist, tender, and tastefully delicious. The price was reasonable. The staff was friendly. We can recommend this place.

    What a wonderful little farm!…read more Luckily there's a sign and GPS puts you in the right place, otherwise it looks like private party that is completely closed off. The days it is open a wonderful farmer's market operates inside. Everyone who works here is wonderful and explains the CSA they offer, as well as what is available to those who want to shop here and there. All of their fruits and veggies looked delicious and fresh! I ended up buying some potatoes and carrots. They seemed to be a busy place for their CSA members and while I cannot afford that membership right now, it is something I will absolutely keep in mind for the future. Prices are fair, you can walk the fields, if you have the CSA you can pick your own berries. A wonderful spot if you want fresh produce and want to know exactly where it's coming from.

They are constantly answering my questions, helping to supplement and fill my home garden and they are just generally nice people. Shame on our Nassau county legislators for holding up their contract. Farming is a challenge here due to weather, blight, bugs - yet through it all Caroline and Dan have been able to provide for all of us who want better than what we are being offered in the supermarkets. They certainly don't do it for the money. If anyone is free on a Saturday go check out the tin house, tour the farm, enjoy the beauty that they have created (just in case the worst thing happens and Nassau county lets this farm go fallow).
