This is authentic - "

harvest time

Last weekend, my little posse (which includes one exuberant 2.75 year old) went over to the Fairview farm in Bridehampton, NY for a little pumpkin picking. It was a beautiful day, and we left the farm a few hours later with big carving pumpkins, smaller doorstop-style pumpkins, tiny tabletop pumpkins, plus all sorts of amazingly colored and shaped gourds which I have carefully arranged on our dining room table as a sort of ode to the season.

And I’m telling you about this because we had so much fun that we found ourselves back there this weekend, with a slightly different cast of characters, for more fresh sweet potato chips, shooting the corn cannon and, this time, a walk through a labarynth that has been cut out of a huge field of corn stalks 10 feet high.

If any of you happen to find yourselves on the east end of Lond Island between now and November 7th, you really should go check this place out. It’s authentic, without feeling the least bit hokey, plus they have a farm stand with some of the most beautiful produce I’ve seen this season just waiting to jump into your cars and onto your tables.

If you have kids, this is a no brainer. A fun, seasonal thing to do that doesn’t involve ingesting insane amounts of candy corn and chocolate kisses.  All the info you need is right here. And, it turns out, there are actually corn mazes all over the country– just click here to find a location near you.
