Description



 

Brought to you by David Cavagnaro


New York City's one and only real farm stand
on New York City's oldest operating farm. One of
the many wonderful treasures at Historic Richmond Town.

Farm

                                    Mr. Cavagnaro

Celebrated restaurateur, David Cavagnaro, known in New York City as the very successful owner of the American Grill and the Charleston Farmer's Market brings his expertise to Historic Richmond Town's Decker Farm.

Mr. Cavagnaro, will manage the Farm in his signature style.  His leadership will cultivate the very best from the earth and prepare it for your table.

Each weekend, Mr. Cavaganaro brings you a specialized menu of gourmet food items and fresh produce. To pre-order or reserve items, email farm manager David Cavagnaro at davidws348@verizon.net

In the winter through March 13, the stand is open from  9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. Look for extended days and hours in spring and summer.

This Saturday!

The Decker Farm is open this Saturday with limited items. Stop by!

We write this to you at the end of quite a storm - the Blizzard 2010. No worries! Our chickens  --- let's not forget roosters Henry and Big Red --- are doing well, with the ladies bringing us beautiful, nutrient-rich brown eggs. The soft, furry bunnies are happy and warm. All is calm.

Great thanks for your support of Decker Farm, an 11-acre treasure at 435 Richmond Hill Road, New Springville. It's a very special part of Historic Richmondtown.  Find a link on where to find us at the end of this email.

To pre-order or reserve items, email farm manager David Cavagnaro at davidws348@verizon.net.  In the winter through March 13, weather permitting, the stand is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. (We might post-pone until Sunday but otherwise we're always open on Saturdays!) Look for extended days and hours in spring and summer.

DECKER FARM STAND WILL DELAY OPENING TO SUNDAY 

The snowy forecast for tomorrow makes us delay the farm stand opening by one day. That means that the following list of items will be available on Sunday, not Saturday.  Therefore, market hours on Sunday will be 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.  Sure, it will be cold! But not like last week (17 degrees) and, you’ll be on time for the game with seriously great food.

 

We’d like to thank you for your enthusiasm and support of Decker Farm, an 11-acre patch of land that is a unique part of Historic Richmondtown.

Decker Farm can be found at 435 Richmond Hill Road in New Springville. Here’s a link to a map:
