At Briermere Farms, insecticides and fungicides are used only when needed to produce marketable fruit. Long Island is a difficult region for tree fruit production because of the high humidity levels which contribute to fungus disease pressure, and can decimate fruit quality (and sometimes the whole tree). Although Briermere Farms is not certified organic, some of their crops, including raspberries, blueberries and blackberries are grown in a way which would fulfill the organic standards. The farm produces a wide variety of tree fruit and berries. Together, they grow over fifty different vegetables, berries and herbs for a CSA program with 14 local sites and 2 farmers’ markets.īriermere Farms is located just a short drive away from Golden Earthworm Farm on Sound Avenue in Riverhead. Since 2005, the farm has been co-owned and managed by Matthew and long-time friend and fellow farmer James Russo. The farm was startedin 1996 by Matthew Kurek, a chef turned farmer with a passion for growing beautiful, high-quality organic produce for the communities of Long Island.
