Amagansett Specialty

Katie and Amanda established their Amagansett organic farm in 2009. Among their crops is their wheat, which they harvest and sell in wheat berry form or mill on the spot for their customers at the Montauk farmers' market. They’ve taken it one step further by partnering with a local baker to make their very own bread. Having reintroduced wheat into the East End, they’ve literally reinvented the meaning of “local bread.” They've got a great CSA, plus a sophisticated education program that teaches kids about growing food. If you're not in town long enough for the CSA, pick up their produce at the farmers' market, or from their farm stand.

The Amagansett farmers' market, which occupies a beautiful series of old stalls near downtown, has transferred ownership a few times in the past few years, so we couldn't be more excited that it's finally found a home with Amanda and Katie of Amber Waves Farm. You'll be able to pick up their amazing produce right on-site, and they'll also have dry goods, cheeses, iced coffee, some prepared foods. Don't forget to pick up a bouquet on your way out.

Here, you'll find the best coffees going on the East End, along with a pretty excellent breakfast sandwich. Come early before the lines. There are several outposts of Jack's in the city.

Perfect sandwiches, soups, cookies and snacks. Open 7 days a week at long last. Try the turkey meatloaf sandwich. There's also a location in East Hampton.

Stuart's provides some of the best seafood in the area, plus a fully stocked pantry of dream ingredients (panko, anchovies, San Marzano tomatoes) and the best pre-made cocktail sauce ever. With some notice, they'll also put together a pretty epic clambake or lobster dinner.

The specialty of this South Fork farm is tomatoes (they grow dozens of varieties) but their corn is pretty outstanding as well. They also offer a great CSA program which can be upgraded to include flowers, fresh herbs, and even cheese.

If you're lucky enough to completely relocate to the East End for the summer, Bhumi Farms' CSA box is an easy way to get your hands on some of the best produce local farms have to offer. But if you're a weekends-only person, you can still benefit from their farm stand, which is open every day from 11am to 7pm. Regardless, you won't have to say goodbye to these guys at the end of the summer—Bhumi's fall CSA boxes are delivered in the city.
