Description



 

Brought to you by David Cavagnaro


New York City's genuine farm stand

located on New York City's oldest continuously operated farm.

Decker Farm is one of the many wonderful treasures at …

Farm

                                    Mr. Cavagnaro

Celebrated restaurateur, David Cavagnaro, respected in New York food circles 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.  This year, Mr. Cavagnaro will manage the Farm in his own signature style.  His depth of knowledge will cultivate the very best from the earth and prepare it for your table.
Each weekend, Mr. Cavagnaro will bring 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.  During the winter, through March 13, the stand is open on Saturdays from  9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Look for extended days and hours in spring and summer.
THIS SATURDAY!

Staten Island will push 50 degrees this Saturday.  Yeah, Mother Nature is letting up a bit --- for now, at least. So get a gulp of spring and stop at the Decker Farm where the eggs are just-laid and the air has that pleasant quaff of fresh earth.

As always, thank you for your enthusiasm and support of Decker Farm, an 11-acre patch of land that is a unique part of Historic Richmondtown. Many thanks for forwarding this email to a friend who might be excited about farm-fresh items from our borough when in season.

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.
