Harbes Family Farm's Barnyard Adventure in Mattituck is an absolute gem for families visiting the…read moreNorth Fork in the fall! I brought my niece and nephew, and we easily had one of the funnest afternoons! The Barnyard Adventure is a paid area ($28.95 per person on weekends), but with eight acres packed full of things to do, it's worth every penny. To put the size in perspective ... it's like exploring six football fields lined up together! The highlights for the kids included getting up close with a variety of farm animals, a trike track, sports zone, and multiple playgrounds, pig races, a musical hayride ... there truly is something for all ages. The atmosphere is lively, especially with those pig races and musical hayride tours. My niece and nephew were totally engaged from start to finish. There are plenty of food stands throughout the property with the classic farm favorites. Apple cider donuts (my personal fav), popcorn, ice cream, and coffee stands for the grown-ups. Speaking of adults, a huge bonus is the vineyard right on the property. I treated myself to a glass of rosé to enjoy while the kids played, which was a nice addition. It does get busy, but the whole setup is well organized that it does not feel too crowded. Barnyard Adventure is one of those rare places that charms both kids and adults, making it a perfect fall or weekend family destination. I can't wait to come back next year for more memories (and donuts) with my niece and nephew!!

Loved this place for kids! I thought it would've been a bit pricey with nothing but honestly we…read morespent nearly 6 hours there. With access to leave and come back, which we loved, we enjoyed hayrides WITH a singalong! Animals, a lot of games, bounce pad and more. Everything was super clean and exactly what you think a farm should be hahahh. The workers were all sweet and kind. We did enjoy a cup of there chocolate chip cookie. Very good. You can bring in picnic food if you wish, but they had hot dogs and basics to purchase as well as a small farm stand in the front. I would highly recommend for families with children of various ages but more geared toward 10 and under. Cant wait to go back again this summer.

We came here for the tulip festival and had an amazing time!…read more Prices for the festival are steep ($25 PP on weekends) but we made the most of it. Rows and rows of tulips that are $1 each! If you were able to get the bulbs you could take those home too, which is a nice perk since they are perennials and will come back year after year. Plenty of parking. Tickets are cash or card. They have some goodies to also purchase on your way out. Petting farm for the kiddos (I mean I squealed when I saw the cute pigs too). Live music. Food trucks. The main nursery is open, as well. Lots of plants for sale when we went. And LI Farm Brewery is on premises!

I know it's a dangerous corner and when I see a line of cars I know someone not from the area is going to pull out and make a crazy u turn. Be careful in my neighborhood and enjoy the farm!

I've only experienced the smell of lavender through things like Glade Plug-ins and incense (embarrassing I know), so I was totally blown away by and caught off guard by how much I enjoyed it. The visual of the fields is simply breathtaking. The vibrant purple hues stretch literally as far as my eyes could see. If you're terrified of bees, perhaps sit this one out however even with my fear of bugs, I was somehow in a calm, relaxed state the entire time. One of the highlights was their super charming lavender shop. The shelves were filled with an array of lavender-infused products and if you're anything like me, you'll be tempted to smell and buy each one. I bought a few oils for my mom and a bar of natural honey soap for myself. I'm excited to try it! If you haven't been to Lavender by the Bay just yet, do yourself a favor and escape the hustle and bustle of daily life already by coming here! Use this review as your reminder to add Lavender by the Bay to your summer bucket list.
