About Brightwaters Farms

Brightwaters Farms is a working farm operation in Bay Shore that runs a Fall Harvest Festival featuring pumpkin picking, hayrides, and farm animals. Visitors spend time selecting pumpkins directly from the field while enjoying seasonal activities designed for children. The farm offers hayrides that take guests through the property and provides live entertainment throughout the festival period. Farm animals are on-site for visitors to encounter. Seasonal treats are available during visits. The farm grows vegetables, flowers, pumpkins, and perennials across its operations. Brightwaters Farms has been in business since the late 1600s and operates multiple facilities across Long Island and Upstate New York. The Bay Shore location serves as the primary Suffolk County site, welcoming families for weekday visits or weekend outings during the festival season.
