Long Island
Regional Varieties
Through our on-farm research, we are evaluating, trialing and actively breeding new varieties for the Long Island region.
Also, part of our initiative will be comprehensively providing historical data and information of Long Island and regional varieties. While some of these varieties are lost forever or on the verge of extinction it is important to have a record of them. We aim to make this compilation of historical ephemera and information available to everyone; from scholars to school gardens. It absolutely critical that a tangible written history be maintained so food culture can be passed on to future generations in addition to being celebrated now, rather than being lost to time. We have partnered with Hallockville Museum Farm in this vital endeavor
