I love coming here for my fresh and organic produce! The owner is always so friendly and welcoming. The produce is always fresh, and it's just a great vibe.

Mums at the garden

I have been coming here for years. It is an organic farm that offers fresh seasonal produce, in additional to other items like local honey made at the farm, sauces, jams, fresh baked goods, and dried items such as pastas and soaps. All vegetables are grown right there in the field. You can purchase your fall mums and pumpkins in the autumn, as well as all of your organic seedlings during the spring. I plant a garden at my house every year and use the seedlings from here and the garden always does well. The items are very reasonably priced and you always get quality. The farm offers events such as baking classes or bee keeping tutorials. They also offer hay rides and pumpkin picking during the fall season. Mike is a blast! Be prepared for knowledgable and friendly service, with a lot of dry humor thrown in. Mike is very passionate about what he does and he has built the farm up so much since I have been coming. Ask him anything about the food, how to cook it, how to grow it, he will surely help you. He advises me every year on my garden, how much to plant, where it should go, how far apart to plant, etc. If you buy any type of fruit or vegetable, it is worth supporting a local business and purchase fresh, healthy, organic food rather than at the local supermarket where you don't know what you're getting. Bring your reusable bags!

All the produce is always amazing , fresh ,no pesticides ,delicious and reasonably priced! I really look forward to tomato season and his are the best !The owner Mike is very friendly , he always makes me laugh with has dry sense of humor ! He is very passionate and knowledgeable about organic farming . He even explained to my daughter how to set up her own organic garden! Mike makes and sells his own honey, yummy! He also has fresh eggs ,dairy , baked goods ,flowering plants and a variety of homemade organic items . Also, throughout the year there are many weekend and holiday events along with cooking demonstrations . Check it out , especially if you live in the area !

HIGHLY RECOMMEND, Outstanding farm! My family and I have been on the lookout for a new organic farm and this one popped up. Once we arrived we were greeted & there was a wide variety of plants, veggies, teas, even soaps and candles to pick from, everything was more than reasonably priced and healthy looking. There's a path around the farm to walk, and see some bee keeping. My family and I purchased some herbs, potatoes, onions, kale, and strawberries to plant. The owner even told us how to plant the strawberries and how they'll grow. Very lovely, cannot wait to come back.

Rustic, barn decor

Organics Today, is a great place to go for fresh fruits and vegetables. It's the best kept secret in East Islip! Today, me and my family went pumpkin picking. Although it's a small plot of land, it was perfect and very COVID-19 compliant too. As soon one enters, we are greeted by the polite staff. Customers kept their distance very respectfully, and is also very family-friendly and family-oriented. My niece and nephew enjoyed the brief but pleasant hayride. The decor is very much eith the barn/farmhouse style;which I really liked. The admission is free, all you pay is what you pick from the field, and of course, the hayride is only $3 per person. They have a small shop where one can get seasonal pastries and beverages. My mom got 6 apple cider donuts. We purchased several pumpkins. Overall, I do recommend this place for seasonal fruits and vegetable picking, if you prefer things on a small scale. Next visit, will be either spring or summer. They also produce and sell honey!

Very cool place!!!

This is very nice place. Worth a visit. There is a nice walk around the facility. There is no picking, but stuff on sale mostly from the farm. Friendly staff. Hard to get to the facility, but ain't bad.

Finally, a replacement for the long defunct Emporium Market!…read more We visited on a Saturday evening during their grand opening and were more than pleasantly surprised. Covid precautions were all in place and even better than our local large supermarket! Signs were posted requiring masks to be worn and an employee was posted at the door to take your temp and offer hand sanitizer and a sanitizer wipe for your shopping cart. While shopping we noticed every employee wearing their mask correctly and all were friendly. Aisles were spaced out and lots of room was left by the check out for social distancing to be maintained. Now that we have the Covid stuff is out of the way; this supermarket is a welcome addition to our neighborhood, which so desperately needed a local market again. The store was brightly lit, clean, and organized. The produce section was expansive and featured more than your average fruits and vegetables. The vegetarian/vegan selection located in produce was impressive as was the large cheese section. The deli features a sushi chef (we actually saw two!) and some delicious looking sushi that seemed to be very fairly priced. We were happy to see the meats all looked fresh (which was an issue with the store that held this space prior). Surprisingly enough there is a seafood counter which seemed well stocked and had a few varieties of whole fish. We wish the store and staff the absolute best of luck! Welcome to the community! We picked up a few items while visiting and will absolutely be back!

A bit pricey for some things and very reasonable for others, but overall the store is always…read morebright, clean, and enjoyable. Their freshly made guac is also top tier - you're welcome!

This Farmstead & CSA are very centrally located on LI @ The Bethpage Restoration site just South of…read moreLI Ex'way (#495) & more or less on the Nassau/Suffolk line. As a Vegan & Environmentalist I simply can not recommend anything as much as encouraging & eating LOCAL & Organic Produce! Purchase of a CSA is the best way to enjoy fresh & organic produce abundantly & with the least cost. Community Supported Agriculture or CSA is a very old concept where one pays the farmer in advance so s(he) can count on selling the produce s(he) grows. During mostly perfect growing seasons the value here is amazing as you will end up spending a fraction of the amount you would @ the grocery store for produce perfection rather than the sad vegs one usually ends up w'there! During years of farming 'difficulties' such as hurricanes or extremely early/late freezes it ends up costing a bit more but the quality never changes only the abundance! Besides the commitment of a CSA, THIS farm also offers a 'Shopper's Share' where you plan on paying a certain amount ($100 - $???) of produce per season & depending on the amount you get, up to %15 off the cost. This 'Shoppers Share' is a great way to learn how much you really spend on produce during the growing season on LI which now is *almost* throughout the year what w'the increased temps of global warming & the fine storage of late fall crops Restoration Farm is capable of! The initial one time amount of both a CSA &/or Shoppers Share can be 'off-putting' but if one honestly computes their weekly expenses on produce they will see it's a good deal. This is especially true if one is accustomed to paying for Organic produce shipped from 'who-know-where' that was picked 'who-knows-when' and has 'who-knows-what' nutrients left in it! I have been a CSA member for over a decade, though full disclosure @ a different Organic Farm b/c I happened to find them 1st., AND have had a Shopper's Share here for $200 less %10 for the last 3 years! For the first few years I used to go to Whole Foods a few time a year & compare the cost of the same vegs in my CSA to what was available @ that time @WFs. Each time I found the size of a head of lettuce, the per lb. cost of the potatoes, the limpness of the kale to be far bigger or firmer w'less waste in outside leaves, woody stems, 'soft' spots even if sometimes the price was comparable. Admittedly I am Vegan & husband has no choice as it's a Vegan Kitchen, so we eat lots of vegs, but if you are well informed you'll know current medical advice is that the more vegs & less animal products you consume the healthier you will be and THIS is an ideal way to get more vegs into your diet. Farmer Caroline is also very helpful in sharing recipes & giving storage tips. Check out the website above for lots more info. The only negative to eating locally is that you learn about availability....Spring brings BEAUTIFUL greens, which, aside from somewhat heat tolerant lettuces are absent during the heat of Summer when it's ALL about Cukes, Zukes, Tomatoes & Eggplants. Late summer brings the greens back, broccoli & cauliflower along w'lots of crops that are available through Christmas & even well into the New Year, such as many types of squash & the only kind of pumpkin worth eating! In my mind your 'carbon footprint', GREATLY reduced by eating local w'lots of vegs. is WELL worth learning to fully appreciate the value of each & every crop during it's season! BTW though I've shared extensively how one can get the best deal here it's also the best place to stop for that head of lettuce & a few radishes you need for tonight's salad or a place to include on your Sat. shopping to give the 'little ones' something to enjoy & NOT complain about! If you are on the Ex'way on your way home & need only a fresh veg. for dinner, it will take you less time to go a mile South, as long as it's a Tue. or a Thur., pick out a veg., pay for it & drive back to #495, than any grocery store that is not on the roads you will be taking home! Some years back, looking for a way to supplement my own CSA I discovered their Farmstand just off my daily commute south on Rt. #110. On non-school days both Caroline & Dan are usually there along w'their kids and there are quite a few outdoor riding toys like tractors along w'the usual various sized bikes & a large paved & vehicle free area always available for riding around in. Depending on the time of year there is also a large # of products either grown or produced locally, from Beer, to Oysters, to pickled vegs, honey & eggs along w'the occasional fresh chicken & on special occasions various crafts.

What a wonderful little farm!…read more Luckily there's a sign and GPS puts you in the right place, otherwise it looks like private party that is completely closed off. The days it is open a wonderful farmer's market operates inside. Everyone who works here is wonderful and explains the CSA they offer, as well as what is available to those who want to shop here and there. All of their fruits and veggies looked delicious and fresh! I ended up buying some potatoes and carrots. They seemed to be a busy place for their CSA members and while I cannot afford that membership right now, it is something I will absolutely keep in mind for the future. Prices are fair, you can walk the fields, if you have the CSA you can pick your own berries. A wonderful spot if you want fresh produce and want to know exactly where it's coming from.
