Peconic Land Trust: New & Returning Farmers Join PLT for the 2024 Season | North & South Forks

New and Returning Farmers

Join Us for the 2024 Season

Through our Farms for the Future Initiative we seek to not only protect farmland, but also support farmers working the land. This year we’re leasing to 33 unique farm operations across 343 acres. These new and returning farmers are growing everything from vegetables and flowers to bees for honey and oysters, snails, and cattle. See the full list of farms below and look out for their products at local markets.

Quail Hill Farm Celebrates 35 Years

Quail Hill Farm (QHF), a stewardship project of the Trust celebrates its 35th season this year. Since 1990, QHF has grown over 500+ varieties of vegetables, herbs and flowers, and mentored over 100 beginning farmers in our apprenticeship program.

Spaces are still available to join the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share for this summer. CSA members harvest twice a week from our fifteen-acre members-only pick-your-own patch in Amagansett. Or members can choose to pick up a box share weekly from the farm or Bridge Gardens in Bridgehampton. Summer shares begin in early June and run through Halloween. Join now!
