Who knew? I have been seeking heirloom tomatoes to satiate my appetite for summer tomato sandwiches, tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and basil, and Israeli salad. Disappointed with the quality at regular markets and the ridiculous prices at other North Shore farm stands. Lisa E. asked Erica Marcus for her advice, she asked where we live, and she recommended Rottkamp's. I looked on Yelp and noticed someone posted beautiful specimens yesterday. We called and they said " yeah, we still have heirlooms". Took the Sunday car to the farm and rejoiced I'm not only the abundance of tomatoes but the local fresh bounty of corn, root vegetables, and fresh sprightly greens. Tomatoes - were about 4.50 a pound and so many varieties, I had trouble choosing! Also, grabbed a yellow summer peach in hopes that it will be the place to go for those too! Addendum- dark cherry tomatoes -2 pints $5 bursting with sweet and earthy flavor read more

Rottkamp's is a treasure for those who want farm fresh food at affordable prices. Their selection is great and the staff is very knowledgeable about different things you can make with their produce. It's such a great place to go just for the views alone! read more

The absolute best corn on the planet! Delicious fresh veggies, and amazing beautiful flowers.

Simply the best farm "stand" that we have found in Nassau County. Stunning array of produce, all pristine with little need to pick thru any of the many categories from heirloom tomatoes to beets to garlic, onions, jalapeños. Friendly family business property that could easily become another housing development and we are grateful that they choose to remain, work the land and offer such beautiful items at a very reasonable price. read more

Homegrown vegetables delicious. Drove my dad around and spotted the farm off Glen Cove Road. I was taking back all the vegetables .. The leaves of the salad greens were green from the root to the top.! Beautiful rich color and packed with nutrients. My husband gave it two thumbs up, love the zucchini the eggplant can't wait to make the butternut squash . A must go to. I took some pictures of some of the produce ... read more

We had such a lovely and enjoyable time at the rott camp Brothers farm!!!! everything that I purchased was fresh and absolutely delicious. Can't wait for the weather to get better and we can rush back again. read more

Thank you Yelplandia friend Lisa for introducing me to this hidden gem. Who knew that a 50 acre farm that sold fresh vegetables was located in Glen Head. The farm is quaint with a very welcoming friendly staff. I found the cherry tomatoes and corn to be my favorite choices for now, but I surely intend to return in the near future. read more

Save yourself from the people they have hired to work here. Their employee decided it was a good idea to start hosing down the produce inside without warning while a ton of people were standing next to it, including my 5 month old son in his stroller. Thank God I acted fast to shield my son so he didn't get wet but she did a great job of soaking me and a bunch of other people with the hose. She continued to do this for a good 2-3 minutes with complete disregard for all of us who were now hiding in the corner away from her and her hose. She thought it was absolutely hilarious as did the other employees who told her she did a great job. I felt like I was in another dimension. My stroller got soaked then covered in dirt and gravel which in turn left the inside of my car filthy. This wasted venture ended up costing me my clean clothes and a $40 trip to the car wash. I know times are rough and it's hard to find good workers right now but how several employees could think hosing down an unknowing crowd that included an infant was smart is beyond me. I'll make sure everyone I know saves themselves the frustration of stepping foot on this farm. read more

Usually a very solid place to get farm fresh produce this year was a little off due to the weather. always great produce very nice people only problem is it is cash only. read more

I love when I get to buy stuff fresh from the farm and these guys don't disappoint. I get so sad when they close for the winter.

Open in 2022 season! I was a little worry about particular weather in this year. love,love ! read more

The best freshest produce and the nicest people. I highly recommend trying it. Can't wait for the spring

This place is north of Northern Blvd and is a few miles up from Youngs farm. Good to try both in the same day. An actual farm, bigger than Youngs, and no bakery etc. They have rows of items from the farm around the stand.. Greens, vegetables and flowers. They grow their own tomatoes but bring some in for customers when theirs are not yet ripe. It's nice to have this place - the last big farm in Nassau County. Dusty road to the stand and serious. None of the fancy pies of Youngs in Brookville, or fancy oversized blooms of Meyers in Woodbury. But they have far more customers than you'd expect up here on this quiet road.. in this out of the way place the parking lot was full! and more local cars were dribbling in. Cash only. read more

If you want to buy fruits and vegetables at an authentic farmstand and don't feel like driving upstate or far out East, give this place a shot. Tremendous variety and atmosphere and extremely friendly service. I'll definitely be back in the spring. read more

The best farmers market in the area. All vegetables and flowers are fresh, and all are kindly priced. The market people are very nice and friendly. I just love to stop by here whenever I am around. read more

This farmstand is amazing! Full of the freshest produce I have ever seen, it took all I had to control myself from touching everything in site. Tomatoes as big as my head, eggplant fresh off the vine, and doughnut peaches as darling and cute as a kitten. This place is heaven! The farmstand is set back from the road and surrounded by fields of corn and bright zinnia. It's bustling with locals and workers that partake in a constant dance of depleating and replenishing the myriad of goods that surround them. The family that runs the stand (the Rottkamps) are there to assist in selecting the perfect melon, zucchini or cheese peppers - just delightful. The Rottkamp farmstand has certainly raised the bar for all other fatmstands in my book - being greated with a bursting crate of just-picked watermelon and over-flowing barrells of corn was oddly thrilling. Gorgeous, locally-grown produce from a family-run farm is just too perfect for me. Love it! read more

Great selection of farm fresh produce. Had no idea they existed until I saw the sign on the road. A little pain in the @ss that they do not take credit cards. Old school in a new economy. read more

It's so amazing here. Thanks for the tip Yelp! One of the reviewers had a bad experience with taking pictures, but as I exited the car, there was a family taking a picture of their kid on a tractor. The attached photo was also taken without problems, so maybe they've lightened up. I was at first confused as to why a farm stand need shopping carts, but upon entering and seeing all the goodies...ooooh boy. The watermelons and bountiful amounts of corn (delicious, by the way)! AMAZING! The tomatoes, onions, peppers, leafy greens, garlic...*sigh* amazing. All reasonably priced too. They also sell various types of flowers (actually saw bouquets being freshly fathered from the field as I entered), but someone ahead of me bought all the beauties! I was jealous. Definitely coming back! read more

Rottcamp Brothers Farm - Great placeThey weren't happy I snapped this outdoor photo. Followed me around and asked why I took 1 photo.Goenjoy but no pix - Farmers Market Near Me - Glen Head, New York

I'm glad I found this place on Yelp. They sell fresh vegetables, fruits and some in season flowers inside a big shed. The McIntosh apples were delicious and juicy with the perfect amount of sweet and tart. I kept the seeds from the heirloom tomatoes to see if they can grow. Can't wait to go back for fresh spring vegetables. read more

Stumbled upon this farm. The selection of veggies are always good. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Worth the stop for farm fresh veggies. read more

Terrific vegetable farm with seasonal produce grown on site. Delicious corn, spinach, potatoes and other items. It's a true gem!

Very fresh fruits and vegetables sold from one of the buildings on the farm. It's not like a fancy market with apple pies, etc, but there are lots of vegetables and fruits. I would say for fruits and vegetables 5 stars, for other ammeneties not real any. We found it a little odd that they weighed our apples after putting them in a plastic carry-out bag first. We'd never seen anyone do that before. We greatly enjoyed the fresh apples which are $2-3/pound. Also, there no credit cards accepted. Cash or check only. But very fresh stuff if you like to cook. read more

This is the closest farm stand to us. Has just about everything you could want. They will reopen on June 28. 2019

Amazingly fresh vegetables and excellent customer service. My first impression is that I'll be going back as much as possible. Much closer than going out to suffolk County and the quality was just as good if not better. read more

Rottcamp Brothers Farm - Farmers Market Near Me - Glen Head, New York

I have been a patron of the Rottkamp Bros farm for years. I live in the West Village, but always stop there when I am out on LI because they have the best produce. I don't know if the other Karen S has ever been there, but they clearly grow there own produce. It is a family run company and the owners have even taken me to see some of the fields, and let my cousin's son on the tractor. They have the staple items (tomatoes, greens, etc), but they also have unique items that makes this farm truly special. It is not often you see yellow watermelon (which is fabulous btw), white eggplant, and golden beets to name a few. You can go to a Wholefoods, where they fly produce in and further pollute the plant by supporting the transportation of produce from around the world, or you can come here, support what i believe is the last farm in Nassau and a small, family business at the same time. Try the corn - it is alwasy amazing!!! I bring it back to the city in bunches because it is so great. Or better yet, don't, so there is more for me read more

60 years ago there were a number of farms in Nassau. Today there are but a few. We are so lucky to have RottkampBrothersFarm for quality homegrown vegetables with friendly service. Each June we can't wait for the farm to open and each November we are so sad when the last crops are harvested.. Like many others, our weekly trips to the farm show nature at its best and the beautiful farmland that the Rottkamp brothers Richard and Ray still farm. read more

Since discovering the incredible fresh veggies grown and sold at Rottkamp Bros. Farm last year, I was sad to see them close for the winter and eagerly anticipated their reopening this summer. The difference between supermarket produce and that found at Rottkamps is amazing! The vegetables taste so good and and the environment is food for the soul - a throwback to a simpler life.

What a great surprise, I have lived on the North Shore most of my life and never came across this gem. Phenomenal seasonal fruits and vegetables picked twice daily. You would never know it's there, but if you can find it, you will never forget it. Cash only !! read more

The best!!!! I await the opening each year and look forward to seeking an actual working farm in busy Nassau county. The produce is simply the freshest anywhere and the owners are all delightful to chat with. I am disheartened to read the negative review by Karen. The produce that doesn't come from the farm is clearly marked, and all the veggies are grown on site. As for the help, I have seen the same people working there for years and years. I feel lucky having it in my "neighborhood. " Andee K. read more

Love this place! Great variety....friendly staff. Nice to see a farm where I can buy fresh picked veggies unlike grocery stores where the produce is months old before you buy it. I will be buying all my produce here from now on. read more

OK this is pretty funny after reading the other reviews. I went there for the first time last week. I just found it while driving in the neighborhood. I drove down the long lane to explore and ended up filling my wagon with the lovely produce here. It was a weekday, empty. I pulled out my phone and took a photo to send my kids and a woman with an accent (french?) said oh are you going to put that on yelp? I said no. But she clearly had no problem with the photo, and was super friendly. Somebody must have realized yelp is good for business as they've changed their policy! Very helpful. Had a nice time shopping. read more

One star removed for the odd "no photography" policy. Farms and farmstands are a natural for photography, and photos also serve as great publicity. A friend of mine was chastised for attempting to take photos there just yesterday. Otherwise, the usual positive comments about Rottkamp apply. As a note, one other farm and stand in Nassau County is nearby, with a good selection (produce, baked goods, pies, soups): Young's Farm (Hegemans Lane in Glen Head, just north of Northern Blvd and Rte 107). read more

Best local farmers market in the area.Big variety of fresh veggies.My favorites are potatoes, corn and tomatoes.

Produce is good but woman at front register (dark-rimmed glasses, heavy German accent) is problematic, watch your change, gets in fluff when busy, highly objects to correction, shortchanged on two occasions, neighbor advised same - and her next visit charged twice for item, farm rumored to close, glad it did not - but this employee, no matter part owner, should be removed. read more

Vegetables are fresh and plentiful. Everyone is pleasant and friendly. I am there every week. Thank you a who work there and always being so helpful. read more

we have been coming to Rottkamp's for many years to get the freshest vegs and fruits possible-just short of growing them yourself.We look forward every summer to the freshest and sweetest corn-a rite of summer! Other just picked vegs are tremendous! The people working at the farm stand have always been helpful and friendly.Neighbors are forcing the farm to close by legal action. It seems that one neighbor has built on their property and refused to install drainage pipes-causing pools of water to form. These selfish nasty people took legal action to force the closing of the farm unless something is done to stop this.Perhaps this is the concern of picture takers.Let s support this local farm-it's the last one of it s type in Nassau. Self centered neighbors have to realize the importance of this farm to the local community.! read more
