Growing up on Long Island, making the trip out to Briermere Farms for Thanksgiving pies is one of my favorite traditions, and clearly, I'm not alone. Briermere is a true Long Island favorite! Every year, my family and I brave the drive and it's always 100% worth it. We always make sure to pick up three pies: the classic apple, the pumpkin, and our absolute must have, the apple crumb. The apple crumb is a personal favorite, the topping has the perfect amount of crumb, and try it warm with vanilla ice cream .. chefs kiss.We also never leave without a box of their chocolate chip cookies with pecans, and if you haven't tried their apple butter, you're missing out. Spread it on toast or pastries and it's absolutely delicious.
The farm stand itself is so cute, especially around the holidays. They have fresh breads, jams, and seasonal produce! Whether you're grabbing corn, tomatoes or berries, they have it all. Even though Briermere gets extremely busy, especially right before Thanksgiving, the staff have the whole system down to a science. The traffic can get crazy with so many people picking up their pies, but there are always people out there directing cars, guiding people safely across the parking lot, directing the lines, and keeping everything organized and moving smoothly. It's clear how much they value their customers, even during the rush! Briermere Farms is as much about the memories as it is the pies and treats. If you're anywhere near Riverhead or just looking for the best pies on Long Island, a trip to Briermere should absolutely be on your holiday to-do list!
