FROM PRODUCE
Many farms grow more produce than they can sell before it goes bad. Over the last five years, East End Food has developed a team to address the need for year-round food production.
Water Main is Next Milestone to Move Farmers Market Indoors
East End Food raised nearly $1.5 million in donations, grants and sponsorships to begin construction in June 2023 on an estimated $3 million renovation and site infrastructure project.
Our long term goal is to purchase the property and build out a campus-style food hub in Riverhead to serve the region and sustain local farming and food businesses.
East End Food is now turning to the community for support in meeting its next milestone -- installing a water main extension that will allow the building to obtain a certificate of occupancy for the year-round farmers market. Future plans include installation of a shared commercial kitchen.
All donors will be invited to attend a ribbon cutting and grand reopening. Donors who contribute $5,000 or more will be invited to a special tour and tasting to be scheduled. For more information, email info@eastendfood.org.
Thank you so much for your support!
