The boys had the best time wandering around and studying the machinery. I wondered when they were used last, and what they did. Some in use, and some whose tires are deep in weeds. Wilbur seemed hot and tired, and was more interested in staying in the shade than our lettuce offering.Ī plethora of farm machinery and equipment lives on the property. She gave it to Daniel and suggested that perhaps he should use it to feed Wilbur, their very large pig who resides on the property. A worker, restocking the vegetable bins, dropped a piece of lettuce.

We went in search of strawberry picking, which we unfortunately missed by a week, but ended up buying some sugar snap peas, and wandering around the property. The shaded porch of the quaint Farm Shop is inviting and welcomed us in. Entering the long, tree lined drive, you almost feel as though you’ve entered the South of France, or onto some elegant movie set. The fee provides for the cost of production and supports locally grown produce. The Community Supported Agriculture program allows for members who pay an annual fee, to be provided with a weekly share of the organic produce grown there. Located on the border of Riverhead and Jamesport (there were conflicting addresses), the organic farm runs a CSA program. We first made our way to Golden Earthworm Organic Farm. Almost as if the land knows that it will soon be flooded with the excitement and built up energy of the families and solace seekers that will, in the next few days, be coming. Heading out to pick some berries on one of the last days before school lets out for the summer, there is a sense in the area of some slight anticipation.
