Orchards near East Hampton, NY

Village of Sag Harbor

The Milk Pail is a Halsey-family apple farm on the South Fork of Long Island, worked by the same family for generations. Fall brings pick-your-own apples in the Water Mill orchards, and the country store and fresh market sell apple cider, cider donuts, pies, and local produce. The listing address points to a Sag Harbor location, though the orchards and main store sit in nearby Water Mill. It ranks among the oldest continuously family-run farms on the East End.

North Sea

Seven Ponds Orchard is a small pick-your-own orchard on David Whites Lane in the North Sea section of Southampton, on Long Island's East End. Apples and other tree fruit are the draw during late-summer and fall harvest. As a compact Hamptons-area orchard it likely opens seasonally on weekends, so check ahead for picking dates and current fruit.

Town of Riverhead

Harbes grows super-sweet corn, tomatoes, peaches, watermelon and apples across its North Fork locations, and bakes apple cider donuts fresh daily. The Barnyard Adventure runs year-round with farm animals, bounce pillows, a trike track and a hedge maze, and a tasting room pours the farm's own wines and hard cider. Fall brings apple and pumpkin picking, corn mazes and hayrides. The farm also books birthday parties and school field trips.

Riverhead

Harbes Orchard on Sound Avenue in Riverhead opens for fall apple picking across 27 varieties, running early September into late October. The 9-acre pumpkin patch offers u-pick pumpkins and gourds, and there's a Robin Hood-themed corn maze plus cider donuts, apple crisp, and candy apples. It's the orchard arm of the Harbes family's North Fork farms, which also include a Mattituck barnyard and vineyard.
