A Trip to Satur Farm
June 28th, 2007 by dgritzer
I took a field trip three days ago to Satur Farms on the North Fork of Long Island. They mostly grow specialty herbs and lettuces plus a handful of other vegetables, and are a popular supplier to many of New York’s restaurants.
The tour was led by Paulette Satur, who owns the farm with her husband, chef Eberhard Müller. They started Satur Farms in 1997, with the plan to grow specialty produce for chef Müller’s NYC restaurant, and the project quickly ballooned as other chefs sought their products. While not certified organic, they do follow organic practices.
Aside from being a great excuse to get out of the city for a few hours, it was a pleasure to meet the people behind this well-known farm.
Paulette shows us her rows of celery root, a vegetable they grow less for market demand than their love for it.
