Bayview Market and Farms - 891 NY-25, Riverhead (Aquebogue)
This is a big place distinguished at the roadside by a large pink tractor and a truck sporting an enormous cob of corn, or whatever fruit or vegetable best represents the season. The quantity and variety of wares is amazing, even a little overwhelming. If you are a farm-stand junkie, it’s easy to convince yourself you absolutely must have a whole bushel of snap peas and an entire flat of flowers.

​
Hallock’s Cider Mill - 1960 Main Rd, Laurel
Owner and manager Wayne Hallock is also the baker of the many varieties of old-fashioned pies in the elegant, curved wooden display cases salvaged from a pizza parlor. The peach pie is to die for, as are the coconut custard and strawberry rhubarb. Among the fresh-baked cookies, the ginger snaps are some of my favorites. Wayne can usually be found in the commercial kitchen on the premises, where he also makes delicious Manhattan and New England clam chowders from scratch—this is the place to pick up a quart for a quick meal instead of succumbing to takeout. The eponymous cider mill, which once operated every fall for years, sourcing apples from Long Island and upstate, was shut down after Suffolk County required cider be pasteurized and the family decided against the investment. Also available is a small repertoire of fresh vegetables. In business for 35 years, its down-to-earth atmosphere and rustic decor are totally authentic.
