Halsey Farms

I’ve always been enamored by this time of year, when the cooler end of the summer backs into the bright, crisp autumn. As a chef, it’s one of the most bountiful periods of the season that offers a host of amazing produce.

On my culinary journeys, I always make regular trips to Halsey Farms on Deerfield Road in Watermill. Dot Halsey offers the sweetest heirloom, cherry, and grape tomatoes, tiny and tender white and red new potatoes, succulant egglants in all varieties, baby green beans and yellow wax beans, squash, and late summer flowers.

Halsey’s selectuon of herbs include: mint, lemon thyme, rosemary, sage, flat leaf parsley, and lavendar–to name a few. I love using them to brighten up any dish.

And if you’re hanging in the city these days and can’t make it out to the farm, don’t worry; just drop by your local farmers market.
