We here at northforker urge every son and daughter to celebrate their moms this May 11.

But maybe your wallet is feeling a little light, or perhaps your mother doesn’t like extravagant gifts. That doesn’t mean you can’t take your her out on the fork and give her a little something special. Here are four ways to spend the day on the North Fork with the woman who raised you without breaking the bank.

If your mom loves the smell of fresh flowers, but you don’t want to shell out for a pricey bouquet then stop on by Garden of Eve organic farm and market for a free pot of tulips and other colorful flowers.  Stay for the veggie stand and the $25 prix fixe brunch, featuring baked french toast with local maple syrup and an organic salad bar.

Mom is perfect just the way she is.
