There’s something magical about this time of year at North Star Orchards — when the last days of Summer meet the first signs of Fall☀️🍁

The farm market is still overflowing with Summer’s best: homegrown tomatoes, sweet corn, local peaches, plums & nectarines, alongside bright sunflowers, garden bouquets, and local Everest grapes. 🌻🍑🍇

And just like that, Fall begins to arrive… with fresh-picked apples, jumbo cabbage & cauliflower, pumpkins & gourds, corn stalks and straw bales filling the farm. 🍎🎃

It’s the changing light, crisp mornings, warm afternoons, and colors of the landscape that make this one of the most beautiful times of year in Upstate New York.

Come experience the sweet spot where Summer lingers and Fall begins. ❤️🍂
