The farms around New York City enjoy four distinct seasons with hot summers averaging 85°F and cold winters that drop to 26°F. Most farms are located in the Hudson Valley's rich loamy soil or Long Island's sandy coastal plains. The growing season runs from late April through October, with about 200 frost-free days perfect for diverse crops.
New York's agricultural roots run deep, from Dutch settlers growing vegetables in Brooklyn to the apple orchards that fed the growing city. The Hudson Valley became America's first wine region in the 1800s. Today's farms blend this heritage with modern sustainable practices, supplying NYC's famous farmers markets and restaurants with fresh local produce.
Spring brings asparagus and rhubarb in early May when Central Park's cherry trees bloom. Strawberries ripen by June, followed by sweet corn and tomatoes during the hot July and August days. Fall is spectacular with apple picking season starting Labor Day weekend, plus pumpkins and winter squash lasting through Halloween. Many farms grow unique heirloom varieties you won't find in stores.
Most farms are 45-90 minutes from Manhattan, easily reached via Metro-North to the Hudson Valley or LIRR to Long Island. Weekend mornings beat the crowds heading out of the city. Traffic on I-87 and I-95 can be heavy Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings. Many farms offer shuttle services from train stations during peak season, and some stay open late for after-work visits.
