Latham’s Farmstand is one of the classic farm stops on the North Fork. The Latham family has been farming in Orient for generations, and the stand still has the simple, old-school feeling that makes the far east end of the North Fork special.

Why people go
The produce is the reason to stop, especially when tomatoes are in season. Latham’s is known for excellent heirloom tomatoes, and that alone can make it worth pulling over.

NoFo Times note
Latham’s is one of our favorite farm stands because it feels like an older version of the North Fork in the best way. It is simple, seasonal, and real. The heirloom tomatoes are the thing we always look for. When they are good, they are really good — the kind of tomatoes that can carry a whole meal with almost nothing else.
