Briermere Farm


Briermere Farm, originally uploaded by Chris S Thorpe.

Long Island's agricultural North Fork is prepared for the onslaught of suburbanites in search of all those decorative corn stalks, apple cider and the "perfect pumpkin". The weekend day trippers clog the areas country roads AND put a large smile on the area's economy. Known to locals as the Pumpkin People, the invasion continues on weekends throughout the fall. This image is of Briermere Farms home of locally renown Briermere Pies. Most Long Island residents ( or friends and family of residents) have, at one time or another, tasted a Briermere fruit pie. Orders are being taken now (seriously!) for Thanksgiving.
