5 North Fork Properties That Will Make You a Farmer

Long Island’s North Fork bears little resemblance to its twin the South Fork—you might say they’re fraternal twins. While the South Fork is infamous for the posh summer beach scene of the Hamptons, the North Fork maintains a much lower profile as an agricultural community. From Riverhead to Orient Point the agrarian landscape is interspersed with quaint towns, bed and breakfasts, and some of the best restaurants on the East End, including the tried and true North Fork Table and Inn . The area’s mostly family-run farms produce everything from lavender to livestock. While some North Fork farms have a history dating back to colonial times, newcomers and start-up farms are added every year. If you want to get your hands dirty, winter is the perfect time to look at North Fork properties so you’re ready for the planting season when spring arrives. 535 Lighthouse Road Southold, New York Price: $1,295,000 4 Bedrooms | 2.5 Bathrooms This custom-built Post Modern home stands at the end of a tree-lined drive.
