Anderson’s Farm Stand

Surprisingly this farm stand on the main road in Riverhead (in front of many of the chain stores) represents an actual farm of 200 acres of farm land that is just north of the stores.
The Andersons run the farm, and peaches, nectarines, melons, red & yellow watermelon, green & red tomatoes, red onion, corn & more, are second to none. They also have a few extra buckets of peaches they sell for pies, but they looked just as good.
I had passed this stand by for years when heading east on the north fork, thinking it some retailer. then was surprised when I slowed down, learned there is a big real farm behind Target, and got great feedback from things brought back. Found myself coming back often when near. No credit cards.
Real farmers are so cool to find in Long Island.

Decent destination, as being along 58 is conducive to the proprietors being the beneficiaries a quick impulse produce stop. While I’m uncertain of provenance, as I doubt they harvest anything from the Target/​TSA, we’re typically pretty satisfied with what we score here.
