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

 

Remember that note we sent you last week about the pleasant quaff of fresh earth? Well, there's lots of that going on at Decker Farm! Finally, the snow is melting and garlic shoots are peeking through the soil. And the happy chickens have been laying eggs prolifically --- guess they're sensing spring is on its way.


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!

Thanks 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.
