Farms and Farmstands
The North Fork is Farm Country. Before we enjoyed vistas of vineyards, there were potato fields as far as the eye could see. Local farmers don't grow as many potatoes as they once did, but there are still plenty of farms, and farmstands, where you can find your favorite fresh vegetables, fruits and flowers grown locally by locals. In fact, many growers are a great direct resource for an event that showcases farm to fork sensibilities-and you won't find fresher flowers than those grown in your backyard.

If you have envisioned informal floral design for your wedding, consider perennials from Elijah Blue & Company. They are affiliated with The Plantage, Inc., a perennial farm, to offer a bounty of seasonal blooms. From cut flowers for the bouquets and boutonnieres to live plants for greenery scenery, you will love the variety available! This is a great option for the do-it-yourselfer, but a floral designer also can work wonders with the flowers, plants and greens sourced from Elijah Blue. Since each flower has its own season, be sure to contact them early in your planning so you can set your date to coincide with your favorites.
