Two North Fork locations with different rules — Aquebogue picks weekdays and takes cards, Jamesport is weekends-only and cash-only — so know which site you're headed to before you leave.
$23 per peck-sized bag (10-12 lbs), per site.
Woodside Orchards operates at 729 Route 25 in Aquebogue, Suffolk County, on Long Island’s North Fork, with a second location in Jamesport. Phone is 631-722-5770. Pricing is confirmed and specific: $23 per peck-sized bag, roughly 10 to 12 pounds, at the Aquebogue site. Beyond picking, the farm runs a hard cider tasting room, picnic areas, baked goods, and a cider mill — a solid North Fork day-trip combination.
The most operationally important detail here is that Woodside runs two locations with genuinely different rules. The Aquebogue location, the address this record centers on, is open on weekdays and accepts cards. The Jamesport location is weekends-only and cash-only. Those aren’t minor differences — showing up at Jamesport on a Tuesday, or at Aquebogue on a Saturday expecting cash-only rules, could mean a wasted trip or an awkward payment situation.
Most orchards in this research operate a single site with a single set of hours and payment rules. Woodside’s split model means the usual assumption — “I checked the orchard’s hours, I’m set” — doesn’t fully apply here unless you’ve also confirmed which specific location you’re visiting. If you’re planning a weekday trip, Aquebogue is your option and cards are fine. If a weekend is all you have, Jamesport is available, but bring cash, since the record is specific that no card payment is confirmed there.
Rather than a fixed list, the site describes apple varieties as rotating weekly based on ripeness, and is upfront that it can’t guarantee a specific variety will be available on any given visit. That’s a more honest approach than posting a static list that might not reflect what’s actually ripe, but it does mean you shouldn’t drive out specifically chasing one variety without calling first to ask what’s currently in the rotation.
As with a few other North Fork and Hudson Valley listings in this research, the only season-start date found on Woodside’s site was tied to 2025 — “U-Pick starts September 20th 2025” — rather than a current 2026 figure. That’s a signal the page may not have been fully refreshed yet for this season. Don’t assume September 20 is this year’s start date; treat it as roughly indicative of when the farm has opened in past years, and confirm the actual 2026 date with a call.
A hard cider tasting room and picnic areas make Woodside a reasonable stop for a slower, more leisurely visit rather than a quick in-and-out pick. If you’re building a North Fork day around multiple stops, factoring in time to sit down with a cider and enjoy the picnic area is a real option here that isn’t confirmed at every orchard in this research.
Woodside Orchards offers confirmed, specific pricing ($23/peck bag) and a genuine cider and picnic experience, but the two-location split with different days and payment rules is the detail most likely to trip up a visitor who doesn’t check carefully. Confirm which site you’re headed to, bring cash if it’s Jamesport, and don’t assume the 2025 season-start date carries over to this year without a call to 631-722-5770 first.
The only season-start date found was 'U-Pick starts September 20th 2025' — a 2025 date, so no 2026 date is confirmed. Apple varieties rotate weekly based on ripeness rather than being fixed, per the site.
