Calverton, Long Island - 90 minutes from Midtown

If you spent a summer WWOOFing in Oregon or Chile, Lewin Farms will probably be up your alley. Unlike some places that are essentially just autumnal amusement parks, this is an all-season farm. There’s a whole field dedicated to pick-your-own eggplants, peppers, and tomatoes that’s open until late October. Grab some nightshades (and pumpkins), check out the farm stand, and then wander through their five-acre corn maze. Lewin Farms’ “U-Pick” fields are open until 4:30pm every day but Tuesday, and you can find more details here.
