Blooming Hill Farm

Just an hour from NYC is one of my favorite farms ever—Blooming Hill. It's about 5 miles off or Highway 17, just past the Woodbury Commons Outlets. Besides growing the most beautiful organic produce, they also serve a nice breakfast and lunch. You can eat indoors or outdoors, weather depending, and there's a nice creek that all the kids gravitate towards. While you're waiting for lunch, they grill up whatever is in season and offer endless amounts of samples.

Blooming Hill Farm, NY

One of the most idyllic farms I have ever been to is Blooming Hill Farm, which is pretty close to the Woodbury Commons Premium Outlets in New York, off of Highway 17, 60 miles north of Manhattan. They are open on Saturdays and Sundays, and not only do they sell the most beautiful organic produce you have ever seen in your life, they also serve a couple of brunch-ish options -- usually a delicious waffle, a frittata, or a quiche, sometimes a chili. They also have Gorilla Coffee (my favorite), delicious ice teas, and amazing desserts.  If it is warm enough, you can sit at tables by the stream, and sometimes if it is really cold, they make a bonfire outside, so you can still hang out there without totally freezing. They also sell Balthazar bread, and lots of local cheeses, yogurts, and milk.
