Harvest Moon Farm & Orchard - North Salem, New York

This place is always dazzling during the holiday lighting show and exciting for the kids. If you're visiting in the summer, afternoons after 12pm can get crowded, so it’s best to come early to avoid traffic outside the farm.

It’s perfect for a quick visit to enjoy apple picking, delicious food, live music, and the well-organized pumpkin picking for the kids, but it’s not ideal for long playdates with friends or family. Also, seating tables are scarce, so be mindful if you're visiting with a large group.

An area for kids to run around and relieve their sensory needs would be a great addition. Strollers are okay, but be prepared for the hill climb from the parking lot—though the path lined with sunflowers makes it worth it.

The food is amazing! Cheesecakes, pizza, chicken wings, huge turkey legs, cider smash, and fresh lemonades are all must-tries.

Overall, it’s a beautiful place, but planning is key for a smooth experience. Enjoy!

So much fun to go apple picking here! They are running a great operation and although crowded, they make it nice. We loved the live band and cheeseburger! The hard apple cider was okay, and regular cider tasted like what you would get at a grocery store. However, the apple cider donuts were out of this world and we would go back just for those!! Apple picking itself was great because they have so many trees and types of apples to choose from. Would definitely recommend this place for dates and people with families!

Great place to go with the family to enjoy a few hours of joy and connect with nature, you can also go to the apple area and buy and not forgetting the pumpkins on these dates.. they also have excellent music and good food, do not forget to buy your tickets online is the best option.. I have been visiting this beautiful place for more than 10 years and I love it. The employees are very helpful and attentive. I recommend it to you.

We came tonight for the Lumina lights display. It was magical. The lights are gorgeous and the trails are wide with plenty of room to enjoy and take photos. The characters were awesome! The food and drinks were tasty and fresh. One of the men who was working, told me that they change these lights every year so that people always have more magical experiences when they come back. Well, we will be adding this to our list of traditions that we will partake in each year, much like our apple picking. Thank you Harvest Moon <3

Off the bat friendly and understanding staff so easily earning them 2 stars.

Orchard is relatively large so get ready to march and walk for a pretty long time. The orchard offers incredible apple cider donuts and drinks. This spot was on my list after seeing the cider drink with ice cream and wow was it delicious.

The location is kid friendly and family friendly. The farm isn’t great for the elderly and seniors because of the heavy inclines and declines throughout the property.

This is a great spot during the week when there are less crowds. Make sure to lock in your reservations online or call them before arrival.

I’ve added this orchard in my top favorite orchards in New York State.

Magical! But bring CASH! Most vendors do not accept cards.

Wear comfy shoes (you’ll be walking in grass & dirt) & cute fall outfits! Can bring a small blanket to sit in the Apple field for short breaks since the fields are large with a lot of hills.

There are porter potties, no sink to wash hands, and only hand sanitizer. Bring wet wipes. Umbrella for sun protection.

There’s apple and pumpkin picking, farm raised beef burgers, candy apples, cider, coffee, hay ride, build your own bouquets, BBQ ribs, pizza, market (pies, donuts, breakfast menu, local honey, pottery, etc.), free pumpkin cheesecake samples, live band, chickens and goats, fam friendly, and photo ops for days!

Love love love but it can use some improvements specifically with payment options, seating near vendors, and restrooms. Otherwise you can troop it and still have a wonderful time.

PS Be ready to push strollers up and down hills, grass, dirt, rocks.

We went to see the holiday light show, which was nice but not worth the ticket price. My biggest complaint though, is with the horrible apple cider doughnuts we bought at the end. They were stale, hard, terrible tasting, and looked like they were previously fed to the lone goat wandering nearby.

Great place to go with the family.
There are plenty of activities like apple picking, apple cannons, etc.

There is also a great selection of food and beverages.
