Are just days away from October, which means flannels. Halloween, tons of pumpkin and apple flavors in this week's road trip, close to home, photojournalist, Matt Nash and our own Simon Choudhury, take us to a place perfect for the fall. And this week's road trip close to home, we're checking out delicious orchards right here in Monmouth County. It's a place you do not want to miss delicious orchards. It means a lot of things to a lot of different people. I do one big one, but when we say it, it's almost like a grocery store and a farm market had a baby together. We are a 60,000 square foot store and everything is made fresh. We also have a huge produce section. We have a deli cheese meats and we're located on a 40 acre farm that we grow a ton of stuff that we sell here. It's an anomaly nowadays that you have kind of this store. That's the size that we are on a farm. That's the size we are, but we're only one location and we're still just owned by a family orchards is our foundation. Apples are still our foundation and our cider, our doughnuts and in our pies. So obviously, one of the first things you see when you come into delicious orchards is our famous pies. Do we see it first? Or do we smell it first? That is a good point. Usually smell but also say our most popular pie is apple pie, but sometimes pumpkin pie does take the winnings. It's like something out of a dream. I'm looking at my favorite right there. Oh, pecan pecan is a favorite amongst a lot of people. So right across from the pies is our bread department or our bread. This flag just like pies. We make everything from scratch here at the store. No preservatives. September is the start of the new apple crop season. So it is a very fun time of year for us. Fall is go time. I tell folks it's like we build all year towards September 1st post Labor Day is do season apple cider, doughnuts, pumpkin pies or apple cider. We've become a staple for a of folks and a lot of families for decades. Yeah, I'll be here next week. I've been coming here for probably 50 years. I used to come with my mom when she was still alive and that was the one trip she used to love to do is to come to delicious orchards 25 30 years, at least. Yeah, you've been coming here for 25 years. Even when I live in the hell we used to come down here. What are your, the pies and the trolley buns. We love the variety that's here. Whether it's baked goods deli, the produce, you make a whole day out of this place. You can go nuts in this place. No, literally they have nuts. So I think what's always separated us is we're an actual family. I have three siblings. Both my parents work here. All of us work here and we each have a different part of the store that we run. The love and attention and care that goes into everything we do here. And I think that that's why we've seen such great support from the community and our customers. We're able to know and care about the products that a lot of other places are and it's made what we do here different. Well, how do you like them? Apples? Aren't you glad we came? I know I am for a road trip. Close to home at Delicious Orchard. I'm Sima Choudary.

We raise a glass if you knew New Jersey has more than five dozen wineries and vineyards. Wow. Right. That is definitely something in this week's made in New Jersey. New styles. Britney Miller takes us along for the wine tasting. Unlike any other wine country. Isn't it breathtaking? The rigid rows of vines? The sweet smell of growing grapes. Wow. Look at that. And if you're thinking this is Napa, think again. So we have some nice cluster. These wines are made in New Jersey from Lambertville to Robbinsville. The Garden state is home to more than 60 wineries and vineyards. Otto Angelico owns Angelico's winery. You've been doing this for quite a while. You're saying you were fifth generation. I'm trying to do the same thing that uh my ancestor did in the past and when you pick them, you just snapped them here. It's harder than it looks. We grow 13 different grapes on our property. We probably make 17 or 18 different wines from those including Pinot, Grigio Merlot and working dog wineries award winning Cabernet Franc owner Mark Carr started harvesting in early September 1st. You have to grow the grapes. We have bud break in the spring and they quickly become clusters of grapes by June. We're picking in September and October and that's when the work begins. Here we go. It's raining grips. So we, oh, it's so crunchy, stomping on the grapes. We're stomping on the grapes. Get the juice, it's flowing, gonna make wine. It's gonna be so fun as we're stopping the grapes. This is like a workout. Even though technology has changed the smashing grape game, the process is the same, squeeze the juice ferment it in these tanks or barrels and drink up, but it may take a while. It can be anywhere from six months to two years. Madeleine Cozine is a vineyard and says, what makes Jersey wine different is the climate we have South Jersey where they make some amazing bordeaux varietals and then you can go all the way up to North Jersey where they're playing with Austrian varietals like Riesling and Bla Frankish and Gruner liner. These home grown wines have become internationally known and the fastest growing division of agriculture in the state. New Jersey has become a force to be reckoned with. Cheers to New Jersey Wine Miller News. 12.

Uber is here and that means it's time to think. Pumpkins corn mazes and all things fall. That Doug takes us to the east end farm where you'll find plenty to do and eat with the family. My family first came to this area of the country in 16 40. The Ludlow family has evolved a lot over those nearly 400 years. A lot of what they do today is traditional growing seasonal vegetables, setting up a corn maze for fall visitors. But then there's things they do that aren't far from the norm. We've been making Holland now for eight years. You heard right? Halla bread. They make it every day. We do chocolate chip. We just start doing. Pumpkin Christmas comes, we'll do a cranberry walnut inside their farm kitchen. They also make cookies, pies and donuts in their market. You'll find their homemade granola jellies and jams. Even mac and cheese. People are used to going into a store and finding everything they want in one place and it's hard for us to do that. So we expand it and after you eat, you can have some fun farm style. This is a corn cannon. You load it up with field corn and let it fly. They actually won the corny contraption at an event. We had no idea it would be so popular and then we had to get a second one. They also have a pile of pumpkins to choose from, which sits in front of their eight acre corn maze, which will probably take you a while to navigate. Generally it's 45 minutes or so. Some people get out in 25. Some people go over an hour, some fun, some food, some funky stuff. There's a lot here. I don't know. This is the model that is universal, but given the land, we have the location, the neighbors, the clientele, we have a system that helps us and it helps them. You might say what they do is right on target for more information about Fairview Farm, other fun spots in the area to visit and to see more of my east end segments, go to news 12 dot com slash east end in Bridgehampton, Doug Geed News. 12 Long Island.

All right. Well, let's give you a check of your weather. Now with storm watch team, meteorologist, Alan. No, Alan, you would tell me a little bit about how I should plan out my weekend. What are we working with this week? Oh, yeah, it's going to be a 5050 weekend. And unfortunately that a negative side of the 5050 might be a biggie. But before we get to that, let's continue to talk about this cold because it's that December cold that out the door this morning this morning, you felt it tomorrow morning especially. You will want that winter jack. It'll actually be near freezing for northern parts of our borough. 32 for Riverdale. A bit milder. The farther south you go. So th 35 City Island, 37. But hat and scarf. I would recommend that for tomorrow morning and into the afternoon, the clouds will keep us chilly all day long. Honestly, me, we might touch that 40 degree mark briefly there at around two or three o'clock. But most of the day will be in the thirties. Should generally be dry. Can't roll out an isolated Sprinkle, but we have a chance for a couple of snowflakes heading into Hanukkah, especially during the afternoon and evening as the sun sets, a couple of flakes are possible. Again, it's not gonna stick, it's just going to add to the festive feel here into the evening hours, it'll still stay chilly. And then the weekend ahead, this is where it's going to be a potential problem. We have an area of low pressure, warm air ahead of it. So Saturday is actually going to be pretty nice. But on Sunday, there's going to be plenty of moisture and rain and the possibility of a couple of thunderstorm are out there. That's why I got that yellow highlight on the 10 day forecast. Those high temperatures well into the sixties, in fact, but it's not a day where you want to spend time outdoors as it stands now. Ok. Is it going to be an all day storm? We're expecting, we're still working out the details on that. Today's Tuesday. This is for Sunday, but the potential is there for the second half of the day, especially for significant rain. Ok. So we still have a lot to go. Keep it here with news 12 will be on top of it all.

Today's weather looks good. Another calm day Hoboken, you'll notice temperatures into the forties. Much more seasonal feel. The clouds also passing and not much expected as far as things coming out from the sky that will change come tomorrow with some windswept flurries also heading into Thursday as well, but significant sharp cold front with the potential for some widespread rain. Late Sunday is also on tap for us this week, gust forecast tomorrow look like this out of the north. That's going to continue to filter in that colder drier air across the region for tomorrow at times, gusting upwards of 2030 mile per hour range. It's just going to add on to that cold feel, especially for Thursday morning. Some clouds right now, that's what we're noticing and far off to our west. We're tracking this system here that's bringing a lot of snow across Pittsburgh, eventually our neighbors in Pennsylvania and that will be adding on to the woods, swept flurries for tomorrow. Wednesday. As far as today goes, it's nice. It's calm, the potential for the flurry start up as early as six o'clock in the morning. Feels like temperatures dropping down to the twenties, you need all the layers, it will feel significantly colder tomorrow. Waking up as we progress throughout the day, we'll notice a mixture of sun and clouds, more clouds than sun and the temperature staying stuck in the forties. The potential for a Sprinkle is also there Wednesday afternoon. We clear out nicely heading Thursday. We get a repeat and do over. I think this day is a bit more likely for us to notice those snowflakes lingering about with a seasonal feel and that festive look overall tying in that colder air along with that look as well. Here's an exclusive look at our extended attend day here, forties as we say hello and happy Hanukkah and heading into the afternoon and evening time frame into the fifties. But a cold front approaches on Sunday.

All the best of luck on the big stage. Some amazing voices there, Matt putting you in the, the feel of the season, right? And if that doesn't do it, maybe a flurry in spots tomorrow or Thursday can do it as well. The rest of today staying dry, it's mostly cloudy outside right now. A hyperlocal planet for White Plains going from the low forties this afternoon to early this evening, gradually through the thirties. Let's head to the map right now and talk about where we go from here really as we go into tonight and over the next couple of days. So tonight we'll stay kind of mostly cloudy all throughout the Hudson Valley. Temperatures will bottom out into early tomorrow morning in the upper twenties and low thirties. It'll be a night. You want the winter coat, the gloves and the hat, all of that. Now, tomorrow there can be a spotty flurry at any point in the morning into the early afternoon. Temperatures again, close to around 40 degrees all throughout the Hudson Valley. Any little snowflake activity you see will not be anything significant, but you could just see a few of those in the sky. 42 was where the high has been today but dressed warmly. It's chilly this afternoon, of course, turning colder later on tonight with lows after midnight in the upper twenties to low thirties. Here's the extended 10 day tomorrow and Thursday still chilly right around 40 degrees each day could have a flurry in spots but a lot of dry time as well. Friday. Sunning clouds a bit warmer. Upper forties, fifties over the weekend, Saturday is still the pick of the week before some rain and breezy conditions move in on Sunday next week. Looking dry Monday through Thursday with highs in the forties.

LIFORECAST

I'm meteorologist Rich Hoffman. You're a hyper local weather forecast, heading throughout the rest of our day. We do have the cloudy skies with us. A temperature around 44 degrees for the high and then this evening going out for dinner, you're looking at temperatures in the low forties and then by tomorrow morning, mostly cloudy skies, temperature around 32 degrees. Waking up on your Wednesday morning, there is a slight chance of a Sprinkle or a flurry overnight as war warm air comes in from the west. So you're seeing the clouds here and some moisture we have what we call an Alberta Clipper kind of screaming on by here and it's gonna go to the south and there's gonna be some clouds. And as it moves south of Long Island, there will be the chance overnight of a quick little rain, snow shower or Sprinkle or flurry overnight into the first part of our Wednesday hour by hour, the rest of today, 42 degrees five o'clock in Bay Shore at 38 at 8 p.m. There's the clouds and again, slight chance of a Sprinkle of flurry into your Wednesday morning. You can see here on our weather maps. Then by Wednesday afternoon, mostly cloudy skies and Wednesday has a chill to the air. A high of only 41 and there will be a slight chance even Wednesday afternoon of a quick little rain or snow shower. You see that right here at around five 45 with temperatures in the thirties. Another reinforcing shot of cold air coming in towards Thursday morning, temperatures are going to be in the upper twenties and low thirties. Then mostly cloudy skies, Thursday afternoon, a slight chance of a quick little Sprinkle moving on through and then the warm air comes in going towards your weekend and wet. Here you go Sunday. This is towards Sunday evening. It's raining. There could be some moderate to heavy rain, Sunday afternoon through Sunday evening and some strong gusty winds. We could be looking at Sunday afternoon with winds gusting near 40 MPH. So we need to be weather aware for that Sunday time frame a high near 44 today with mostly cloudy skies thirties tonight, mostly cloudy chance of a rain or snow shower through tomorrow. Cold disorder of Hanukkah. And there's the rain Sunday into Monday morning.

Let's take a look outside through a community camera overlooking Stanford. We see those clouds moving in. Let's get an update on your forecast with meteorologist Jonathan Cuban John. Hey, what's going on, Becky? Now, listen, we're going to work with this chill over the next couple of days. Thirds is going to be the coldest day. You're going to need those hand warmers for sure as you're stepping out the door with it, feeling like the twenties for a lot of us to open up that morning and then we're going to see a nice warm up heading into the weekend, but unfortunately, it does come a little bit of some rain and we could see some strong damaging winds for your Sunday. We're gonna wait through the rest of this afternoon. Numbers well into the thirties, maybe a 40 degree reading here here or there, but notice it's mainly gray. A lot of cloud cover won't rule out a poke of some sunshine for some spots. But again, most of that bright sky that we saw was earlier this morning. We fast forward into tonight, still sitting pretty quiet, but it's gonna be a little bit more on the chillier side and a touch colder as stepping out the door for your tomorrow morning numbers, upper twenties, lower thirties. That's what it'll feel like with just a little bit of some wind and then we'll try to get into some clearing for your tomorrow evening and into your tomorrow night. And that's gonna open door for some colder air to start off your Thursday again. Thursday is gonna be the coldest day from start to finish daytime highs. It's not making it out of the thirties. 34 for Redding, 36 for West 37 from Greenwich all the way up to Bridgeport. And again, that looks like it's gonna be the best that we do. We fast forward into your weekend Saturday again, we're gonna watch the system pushing in from west to east as this front really is gonna push out that clear sky, which we're gonna really work with for your Saturday. Saturday looks a little bit better than last week. Last Friday wasn't too bad. Right. We had those milder temperatures but it was very gray. We're gonna work with sunshine for this, this weekend, at least for the first half before we're gonna find clouds fill in late Saturday night into your sun. And then yes, we're watching some rain as we're pushing into the later part of your Sunday morning for right now. Timing, of course, can definitely, you know, move out and about, we can give things maybe an hour or two early or later as we're pushing forward into again the late morning. So do expect that if you do have plans for the second half of the week and that commute home back into the area as we can see, steady to heavy rain, really picking up into your Sunday night. Not to mention some strong damaging winds. Uh, again, could cause for a little bit of some tricky travel. But do you notice mild temperatures continue to stick around as we head into the start of next week, Becky John. Thank you. And just a reminder this weekend.
