"Trip to Harvest Moon Farm and Orchard" is a Sesame Street story arc told over the course of five episodes in Season 52 (2022).
The episodes were shot on location at the Harvest Moon Farm and Orchard in North Salem, New York over the course of six days in August of 2020.[1] The site was chosen by location scout Marc Auerbach as an alternative to online video conferencing content created during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Matt Vogel commented that the location allowed the crew to work in an environment utilizing a safety protocol team hired during the pandemic.[3]
Characters include Elmo, Rosita, Ernie, Bert, Oscar the Grouch, Abby Cadabby, Grover, Cookie Monster, Gladys the Cow, and Big Bird, as well as Harvest staffer Todd Stevens who appears as a farmer.[1]
