Hampton's Farm Recommendations
Here’s a list of my personal favorites, divided into two sections: one for great kid-friendly experiences and one for delicious, fresh produce.
Watermill:
Seven Ponds Orchard: A beloved spot for pick-your-own seasonal produce (berries, sunflowers, apples). The farmstand features pies and homemade treats. My kids love the large wooden play area. In the fall, the farm comes alive with apple picking, hayrides, a corn maze, and more.
Corwith Farms: Home to friendly farm animals—especially the goats. On weekends, visitors can join goat yoga classes. The farm also offers Farm Camp for children. In the fall, enjoy pick-your-own pumpkins and a variety of seasonal activities.
Hank’s Pumpkintown - Only open mid‑September through October - it’s the #1 fall farm destination. Arrive early. There’s pumpkin and apple picking, corn mazes, hayrides, tractor rides, giant slides. The farmstand serves pies, donuts, cider, and more.
Sagaponack:
The Green School: A farm-based, year-round preschool and camp offering weekday and weekend programs for children. Kids can enjoy riding lessons, playgroups, cooking, art, and farm animal care—all in a hands-on environment.
Amagansett:
Amber Waves Farm: A nonprofit teaching farm and market offering year-round educational programs for all ages. Children’s activities include music classes, storytime, and immersive gardening sessions. Don’t miss the excellent café and prepared foods at the market - they’re delicious.
Mattiuck (North Fork):
Harbes Family Farm - Worth the drive! This popular destination features pick-your-own produce and tons of family activities—pig races, goat mountain slides, and friendly farm animals. Check their calendar for seasonal events.
Watermill:
Halsey Farm: A personal favorite. This family-run farm and seasonal stand sells greenhouse-grown vegetables and fruits. It’s a go-to for both local chefs and residents.
Green Thumb Organic Farm: Certified organic and sustainably run. Offers a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, herbs, plants, and local artisanal goods. There’s also a small play area for kids.
Bridgehampton:
Fairview Farm at Mecox: Filled with fresh produce, but the prepared food and homemade baked goods is not to be missed. In the fall, enjoy pumpkin picking and a massive corn maze.
Round Swamp Farm: Hands down the best prepared food in the Hamptons. Favorites include the gazpacho, corn fritters, and freshly baked muffins. (Also located in East Hampton and Montauk.)
Sagaponack:
Pike Farms: A beloved local farm with a wide selection of seasonal produce. Also carries cut flowers, jams, pies, honey, and other local artisan goods.
Balsam Farm Stand: A family-run stand with fresh, seasonal produce, herbs, dairy, meats, flowers, and artisanal products. Offers a CSA program and local delivery.
