Family Business
North Star Orchards is more than just a family-owned market. It's a way of life for George Joseph and his children, that began in 1986 with a small roadside stand. Today they specialize in fresh, top-quality, New York State produce along with everything you need for your yard and garden.
Behind the store is an almost 200-acre orchard Joseph bought more than 3 decades ago and turned into fields of fruit, vegetables, and evolving beauty, including tulips, lots, and lots of tulips.
Tiptoe Through Tulips
In May, you can take a walk to remember, through the field of tulips. North Star Orchards opens its property for scenic walks through the blossom-filled apple orchard to the cut-your-own tulip field. "To be in an orchard when it’s in full bloom, it’s illuminating," says George Joseph.
U-Pick
In July, you can pick your own blueberries and the Fall season is all about apples at North Star Orchards. Apple picking season normally begins in Mid-September followed by u-pick pumpkins in October.
North Star Orchards in Westmoreland will be open daily from 8 AM to 6 PM. You can learn more at NorthStarOrchards.com.
