You can walk across the fields, picking at your perusal without really bumping into anyone. Pumpkins will run 79c per pound but no entry fee required!

This is the farm that used to do the "all you can carry" but things have obviously changed in 2020 and dogs are also no longer allowed. Now that we're all upset; we know why it's a 3 star review. The plot is huge and goes on forever. Even through covid; family's flocked to the farm to pick up their pumpkins & hay stacks. We walked through with masks even outside and at a 6ft distance. The disappointment this year was the crop. It took forever (even though we hit the farm first week of October) to find a pumpkin that wasn't already rotting. Something is either in the water; like they drowned or animals ate them or too much hand sanitizer! I have no idea but as we turned them over they had holes & dings, cuts and sad spots all over. We accumulated a bunch of pumpkins all different colors which was nice that they have an assortment of gourds and textures. Damaged or not we picked what we could. Some rotted within a week from too much damage but the pics were fun to take and my mom actually enjoyed trying to find one that wasn't gashed. Lol. The little things in life actually just made me feed back that 4th star.

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.

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.

The property is beautiful and the barn is amazing! They offer a variety of local jellies, jams, sauces, relishes, and even soaps, as well as homemade baked goods that were to die for. The corn that we got was a literally pick that day and you could tell. We never buy it end of season, because it never taste as good as it does in season, but this was extraordinary. The chicken apple sausage was also the best we've ever had. The owners couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating. We traveled with my mother-in-law who is aging up on 90. They just made everything so easy and accessible for her. Even a fabulous hayride that took us around the entire property, was such a treat that included fresh pick sunflowers, pumpkins and squashes. I am also just stunned at how inexpensive everything is. No fee for parking. No fee for admission. Just go and spend money as you like on the beautiful local goods, yummy treats, and a fun hayride. All of which were reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

It exceeded my expectations! The menu had something for everyone and had a good variety. We picked shrimp gumbo, butternut squash soup, turkey chili, and cheesesteak. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. Nothing tasted artificial at all. After we got our food a staff member came out with an orange wedge and suggested adding it to the butternut squash soup. I'm a bit adventurous...I tired it and it was good! There's also a few shops in the old farm. They have local jams, honey, and (right now) fall decor. If you walk toward the back there are some animals. We were told they love attention and it wasn't a lie! We pet some after lunch. Definitely a great place! We know the menu will be different but we would be back again for lunch!

Have been back a few times since. Once pulled in off the road... its such a lovely country farm with a big enclosed farm stand. Outside find lots of cheerful displays of seasonal farm items. Hay, tractors, pumpkins when in season, flowers and more. They have a nice selection of their own grown fruit and vegetables and carry other local farms produce as well. They have small signs clearly stating local, or "our own" which are always a treat to have direct from the farm. Helen's makes pies too. It's also nearby Brierrmere's down the block. The night before Thanksgiving, Helen's offered an alternative option to the long lines for pies. In summer I once tried a mixed berry pie. This time tried an apple and pumpkin. This was the year for less baking and smaller lines... this made it easy. Much appreciated. Pies seemed not too homemade. Crisp sliced apple with the same gel like cinnamon on most of the apple pies out here. Not too homemade tasting. Seemed more commercial frozen and bake. So for true homemade pies, try nearby Junda's or Briermere. For an ok assortment of grab and go pie, this worked. The lady's are sort of pleasant but leaning more toward efficient and courteous. Not the warmest vibe here on different visits. No one seems genuinely friendly like you might want at a small town shop. Once asked about a pie, and one woman sort of mocked my question joking "its a fruit pie" slightly sarcastic. The cashier on a another visit wouldn't show a pie, by opening a box citing the owners rules. So took my chances. Lol. That shouldn't deter you, its clean, fresh and pretty to look at. A nice stop off when touring at the beginning of the North Fork.

Harbes Orchard has a number of points of interest inside. There is apple picking, a corn maze,…read moreconcession stands, a wine gazebo, small local vendors, pony rides and much more. There is a fee to get in which includes many things depending on the package you choose. As 2 adults with no children, the cheapest package included more than we would have taken advantage of, as we only went for the apple picking and to get some snacks. One of the things we really like about Harbes, is that in your price of entry you are given small bags to pick apples. Other places charge an entry fee and then a fee for the weight of the apples you pick. Since our main purpose was to pick apples, we were a bit disappointed at the selection that was available. There were 4 kinds of apples available to pick. One of them was only a row or two and every apple on the trees was rotten which then left us with only 3 kinds to choose from. We walked the rows and then took the tractor ride out to the further rows but selection was still scarce. I think the thing that made us question the most, is that we were driven around to the back rows and passed a TON of rows with trees that were ripped off and they had the biggest and best looking apples on them. All of the closed off rows said they weren't ripe, but the apples on those trees in comparison to the ones we were able to pick were triple the size. All in all, it's a good experience, many photo worthy spots but probably best if you had children as a lot of the activities are geared for kids.

Despite going during peak fall season for apple picking, they have really done a great job to make the whole getting in and out MUCH easier. Biggest gripe is that it feels a little pricey for the tiny little bag they give you for picking. Apple variety was quite good and the staff gave plenty of helpful tips and directions to find the best apples in the orchard. Despite hwo busy it was, it still didn't even really feel TOO crowded just with how large the space is. The place also has options for food, wine, pumpkin picking, a corn maze, kids activities and of course apple cider donuts that can't be missed! This place may have singlehandedly renewed my faith in Long Island apple picking.

The store is not well-lit though it's a barn so take it with a grain of salt. They have some unique items if you take a look. Came here last year during the pandemic after Mother's Day weekend, there were plenty of plants and vegetable plants to choose from. Guess not a lot of people came to buy plants last year so we got a unique items last year including black cherry tomatoes, yellow watermelon, various types of lavenders, and bunch of other plants. We took a chance on a dried up banana tree that was for $10 and gave it as a gift as well as the other items we brought ($4 each, I believe). The tree survived. It's currently thriving and we are waiting for the tree to produce bananas. Last year and this year they also had baby chicks in the greenhouse. It's makes my day to see the chicks and you know it's Springtime. We went again this year after Mother's Day weekend and there were a few places and vegetables available. I picked up lavender grotto ($5), citronella ($5), and some succulents ($10). No dying or last leg plants this year. The choices were more limited since folks came out to buy the fruits and vegetables early this year now that places are opening up again. Guess we need to go early.

If we wanted to see the sunflower festival, we had to purchase a combo ticket! If you want to enter the least expensive ticket is $24for apple picking, whether you want apples or not.

Upon leaving there were 4 other adults at the entrance complaining about the same thing. We explained the pricing and they planned to leave as well. We had called earlier in the day but no one answered the phone. We asked to speak with someone and were told we couldn't.Drove an hour to get here. Won't be back . Too much for too little.

Loved everything about this. There was plenty of parking and it was not swamped with people in late October. 3 types of apples to pick from during that time.
