Calverton has a gregarious personality. This refreshing and vast part of Suffolk shows Long Island in its original and best light. Calverton makes a special effort to preserve the glorious agricultural heritage of New York State. It also offers some of the most exhilarating outdoor recreation attractions available in this part of the United States.

Simple farming operations are always joyous for city slickers, and especially important for children raised in cities to learn at first hand. The Fritz Levin Farm and Edmund Hound are two places in Calverton where you can harvest strawberries during the season. Picking the striking fruit from rows of plants in an open field is an absorbing diversion to which families can look forward as an annual ritual.

Calverton and the surrounding parts of Suffolk also have beautiful apple orchards. Some of these offer visitors and their children opportunities to participate in harvests. Farms tend to be exceptionally busy when it is time to pick the delicious fruit, so it is best to call and make an appointment, rather than to drop in unexpectedly.

Skydiving is one of the most unusual pastimes that New Yorkers can enjoy in Calverton. This densely populated and built-up State has almost three thousand acres set aside for airport and landing zone facilities in its county of Suffolk, just for skydiving. Experts and enthusiasts obviously frequent Calverton to enjoy adventure and thrills, but the especially pleasing aspect of this place, is that a person who has never jumped of dived from an aircraft before, can drop in at Calverton and experience the romance with ease and relative safety. You can have your first jump video-recorded, dive with friends and indulge in the pastime to your heart’s content!

Calverton excels in traditional outdoor pursuits, as it does for the more modern and daring genre, such as skydiving. The Nature Conservancy Calverton Ponds Preserve has over three hundred acres of nature trails. The wild biodiversity of vegetation, fish, and birds is truly staggering. Hikers can be driven to distraction in the rich habitat, and hardly want to return to modern civilization!

The city knows that no american home can be complete without a liberal golf available. The Calverton Links is championship grade. All 18 holes are available throughout the year. The clubhouse is big enough to host large business and social events.

Though Calverton has excellent road and rail connections that make day visits possible, the town also has an excellent bed and breakfast option to add to your trip value. The Field of Gold property is conveniently located near Route 25. Set in the midst of verdant countryside, the building has a charmingly rustic atmosphere. The service is exceptionally warm and attentive, and a stay here can be a welcome change from the robotic and business-like efficiency of the rest of New York. Local wines are memorable additions to cookies and other complimentary gifts that you will discover in your room.
