I used to spend hours at the farmers’ market in Union Square talking to farmers about produce. I was a chef in the city for many years with a small garden behind my apartment in Brooklyn, and it was a natural progression for me to decide to farm after that. I started out studying the oboe in music school, and then left for a career in the kitchen when I attended the Natural Gourmet Cookery School in Manhattan. Q: How old were you when you knew that you wanted to be a farmer?Ī: I think I probably always knew I wanted to farm, but it was a long and winding road. Since none of us come from a farming family and land prices are at a premium here on the island, all of our land is rented, and the development rights have been sold. Today, I run the farm with long-time friend and fellow farmer, James Russo, and my wife, Maggie Wood.
I started the Golden Earthworm in 1996 after leaving New York City, where I was working as a natural foods chef. Q: Can you give us an idea of what your farm is?Ī: The Golden Earthworm Organic Farm is a certified organic vegetable farm nestled on 50 acres of pristine farmland protected by a land preservation program on the North Fork of Long Island.
