Harvest Moon Farm & Orchard is a charming, family-owned apple orchard in the scenic North Salem area of Westchester County. Their primary apple harvest is celebrated during the vibrant days of September. Not limited to apples, this bountiful farm yields an array of fresh vegetables and stone fruits that ripen from summer’s warmth to fall’s crispness. This lovely produce can be purchased at the farm store or savored through the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.
Harvest Moon goes beyond the ordinary. They are deeply committed to the ethical and sustainable practice of raising antibiotic and hormone-free, organic animals. This dedication ensures that farm-raised meats, including turkey, chicken, pork, and 100% grass-fed beef, are of exceptional quality. They also take pride in their signature hard cider, Hardscrabble Cider, and farm-fresh free-range eggs. The farm store is a treasure trove of local products, including honey, dairy, cheeses, maple syrup, and an array of country store items. Don’t miss the acclaimed apple cider donuts, luscious fruit pies, and a tempting selection of specialty pastries from the bakery. The Harvest Moon Farm & Orchard kitchen serves mouthwatering bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches, and a variety of slow-food dishes made with ingredients grown on the farm. You can enjoy these delights in the outdoor seating area, offering a picturesque view of the farm.
Harvest Moon is not just a farm, it’s a community. They host various events throughout the seasons, from the joyous Easter Egg Hunt and Apple Blossom Festival in spring to the Hardscrabble Cider events in summer. As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisper, the Fall Festival takes center stage, offering an exciting spectacle for visitors of all ages. Harvest Moon is truly a family experience, with something for everyone from it’s agritourism features to strawberry and apple picking. It’s a fun day on the farm!
