It's fall on Martha's farm! As the Northeast's foliage continues to transition from lush green to hues of crimson, burnt orange, and deep brown, our founder took some time to celebrate the many shades of autumn in a recent post on the Martha Blog.

"Here at my Bedford, New York farm, we're still waiting for a hard frost, but the colors across the landscape are beautiful—various shades of orange, yellow, brown, red, and evergreen," she writes.

Our founder has planted many different types of trees on her farm in the hopes that they'll provide shade and climate control. Come fall, the evergreens serve a new purpose by adding a variety of color to the landscape. "I photographed this maple earlier this month when it was just starting to turn," Martha writes. "Now, its golden leaves are falling off its branches."

In addition to her maple, there are several other trees on Martha's grounds that are lush with transitional foliage. Of course, there's her giant sycamore tree—the symbol of our founder's farm. "The foliage of American sycamore trees is a vast crown of large leaves," she writes. "In autumn, sycamore tree leaves turn shades of yellow and brown."

Fall foliage is also abundant on one of Martha's favorite trees: a weeping katsura that sits just outside her kitchen on the terrace parterre. "Caramel-scented foliage emerges bronze or purple-red, turns blue-green, then fades to golden-apricot in autumn," she writes.

But perhaps one of the most stunning leaf-peeping views on the lifestyle mogul's property can be spotted on the drive out of the woodland to the back hayfield. A myriad of autumn's best colors, a melding of ochre, rust, and vermillion, are currently putting on a show along the carriage path.
