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.

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.
Our kitchen team turns produce into products. This reduces food waste, allows farms to operate year-round and gives foodies more local options to enjoy.
EAST END FOOD HUB WILL SUSTAIN OUR LOCAL FARMS.
Our commercial kitchen is available to small scale entrepreneurs who can rent the space to produce their goods and sell at our year-round indoor market in Riverhead or online.
East End Food offers marketing, sales and distribution support that streamlines connections between farmers, producers and everyone who enjoys local food.
EAST END FOOD HUB WILL LAUNCH HUNDREDS OF LOCAL BUSINESSES.
East End Food buys surplus fruits and vegetables from local farms to support and sustain regional food production. Our kitchen team preserves produce for year-round freshness and availability.
We partner with 15 schools, 7 food pantries and 3 senior centers to aggregate, process and distribute local food to thousands of people across the East End.
EAST END FOOD HUB WILL FEED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN NEED.
