The leaves on the North Fork don’t really change until the end of October with colors piquing in November. The farmstands along Routes 25 and 48 are packed with miles of pumpkins of all different types and sizes. I love anything made with pumpkin, especially at breakfast.
If you have a chance to head out to the North Fork, stop at any of our farmstands and pick up a cheese pumpkin for a pumpkin bread to serve in place of coffee cake for breakfast with some delicate Spinach-baked eggs.
