One of the very best parts of the spring and summer seasons being upon us here in New York is the fact that you can head to your local grocery store or farmers market and find them flourishing with fresh fruit. While it’s certainly exciting to walk into the market and see all your favorite fruits in abundance ready for you, if you’ve never experienced what it’s like to go and pick your own fruit at one of the Empire State’s small-town farms – then i’ts time you cross off this tasty adventure from your bucket list this year!
Close enough to the city to have a Syracuse address, yet far away enough from Downtown that you’ll find yourself closer to Otisco Lake than Onondaga - it’s time to pay Navarino Orchard a visit.
Bringing you out to Central New York’s famous apple country, Navarino Family has been a family operated farm for several generations and is known as the area’s best u-pick farm.
