Autumn Arrives on the North Fork



The ospreys have gone...


many of the grapes have been harvested and are slowly making their way to become good North Fork wine.  The leaves have colored and are beginning to fall, the pumpkins have arrived in time for Thanksgiving pie.  Most of the striped bass have rounded Montauk Point on their southerly migration.  It's time to bring the kayak up from the beach and put the storm windows back on our old house.   Wood is needed for the fireplace and some of the potted plants should be brought inside.   Time to "button up" for winter.











The large beige "cheese" pumpkin makes the finest pies.









  Most of our farm stands are more humble than this one.  We come here for the duck they carry from Crescent Duck Farm in Aquebogue.
