A Fresh Take on the North Fork 🍷

North Fork Sights, Bites & Flights isn’t your typical wine tour, and honestly, that’s the point. This is a curated, small-group experience (2–10 people) that blends vineyards, oysters, farms, and local producers into one seamless, fully planned day, complete with pickup, drop-off, and a guide who actually knows the people behind the places.

Yes, visitors love it. But locals might appreciate it even more.

Because it’s not about where you go, it’s how you experience it. Behind the scenes tastings, conversations with owners, perfectly timed stops, zero planning, zero driving.

Perfect for hosting friends, entertaining clients, or just treating yourself to a version of the North Fork that feels a little more VIP than routine.

Greenport’s Farmers Market 🥬

Greenport’s Farmers Market is heading back to Mitchell Park on May 23.

The biggest change this season: the market is officially moving from Friday afternoons to Saturdays from 9 AM to 12:30 PM Market manager Paul Livesey says the shift is aimed at making the market easier for locals with weekday jobs and weekenders rolling into town Friday night.

The vendor lineup is stacked with returning favorites like Treiber Farms, Deep Dive Farm, Alpina Bakery, Consider Bardwell cheeses, Horman’s Best Pickles, Greenport Jerky, Eastward Lavender and Disset Chocolate.

New additions this year include Sweet Melissa 1932 Farmhouse, Turturici & Sons olive oil, NoFo Flour Shoppe, The Crumb & The Kettle and Lily Pad Acres flowers. Basically, the tote bag is going to fill up fast.

The market will also bring back live music and community programming funded by Friends of Mitchell Park, including performances from the Roth and Fuhr Men and creative workshops with VEME Studios.

Fleece & Fiber Festival 🧶

Hallockville Museum Farm is turning into a fiber arts playground on May 16 as the annual Fleece & Fiber Festival returns with weaving demos, artisan vendors, and live music.

The one day festival runs from 10 AM to 5 PM and packs in more than 20 vendors selling handmade goods alongside sheep shearing, spinning and weaving demonstrations, food trucks and live music from Old Time Jam.

One of the biggest draws this year is nationally known knitting instructor Patty Lyons, who’ll lead two advanced workshops during the festival.

There’s also a full slate of hands on workshops for every skill level, including basket weaving, beginner weaving and needle felting classes where participants can create rustic wool landscapes.

Headlines Into Folk Songs 🎶

David Roth likes to describe himself as “the most famous songwriter you’ve never heard of,” which sounds modest until you realize one of his songs literally orbited Earth aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis.

Ahead of his May 16 performance at the Jamesport Meeting House, Roth reflected on a career that somehow includes NASA, Carnegie Hall, Chicago Bulls games and English textbooks in India.

Roth calls himself a “musical reporter,” pulling songs from overlooked human moments and real life stories. One of his best known songs, “Nine Gold Medals,” tells the true story of Special Olympics runners stopping mid-race to help a fallen competitor. Another was inspired by a Florida police officer quietly paying for groceries for a struggling mother caught shoplifting food.
