Happy Spring! Farmstand now open EVERYDAY 9-5!
WHO WE ARE
Regenerative
Our farm has been recognized by the Leopold Conservation award in 2020 for leading the way in sustainability in the environment as a farm due to our complex diversified cover cropping, water conservation, and limited till practices.
Watch the video above to learn more about the details of our deep love and care for the soil, the environment and the food we grow.
Organic
Our farm has been certified organic by NOFA NY for over 15 years! We grow all our produce with organic methods because we believe in it. When Fred was farming in the 90’s, he decided he didn’t want to use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides anymore as a means of preserving the health of the soil, the water, the bees, his family running in the fields, and himself as the primary spray applicator. In 2019, NOFA awarded us with “Farmer’s of the Year” because of our dedication to Organic principles. Read an article and listen to a podcast about it here.
3rd Generation Family Farm
Sang Lee Farms was started in the 1940’s by George Lee and his cousins / brothers further west on Long Island. They grew all Asian veggies for wholesale markets on the east coast. In 1987 when the markets changed and George Lee passed away, Fred Lee (his son) moved the operation to the North Fork from the moriches to its current location. When it was no longer viable to grow wholesale veggies on long island, Fred and Karen diversified and shifted to CSA’s, markets, and the farmstand (direct to consumer). Today, the farm is run by Fred, William Lee (his son) and William’s partner Lucy.
WE GROW VEGETABLES THAT ARE ALWAYS:
The Best Quality
We harvest, wash, and handle our vegetables with love, care and cleanliness. We are committed to food safety practices following FYSSMA protocols and water testing. We take great pride in washing the veggies so they arrive beautiful and alive.
Ultra Fresh
Fresh veggies are selected and harvested from our North Fork farm fields less than 48 hours before we sell them to you at our farmstand, in our CSA, or at our Markets.. No shipping across the country which means your food is still full of life and flavor.
Flavorful
When you grow vegetables in soil that is healthy and harvest them right before eating, the flavor of them is far superior to grocery store veggies. Fresh food tastes better, and we make sure we give you the freshest tastiest veggies you’ve ever had.
Diverse
We grow over 300 different heirloom & organic NON GMO varieties of vegetables so you can taste new flavors, new colors, and new veggies! From the neighborhoods we feed to the staff we employ, we value diversity.
