Satur Farms
Owned by chef Eberhard Müller and his wife Paulette Satur, this farm based on the North Fork of Long Island, with land producing in winter in South Florida, is dedicated to growing the finest vegetables and culinary ingredients, most likely turning up on the menu at The Cypress Room. It began when they purchased their original farm in 1997, with the intention of growing some vegetables and herbs for Chef Müller’s restaurant. Colleagues in New York City asked if they might be able to buy their produce, and the farm as a business became a reality.
East End Garden
Bodden Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Owner/grower Patrick Panton is one of the most progressive and passionate farmers on-island, even though his farm is fairly new. We source his little Thai eggplants & tomatoes, even pole beans! Patrick has recently branched out into free range chickens and eggs, which chef Thomas is especially loving. We hear he is thinking about heritage pork, too. Would be huge!
Plantation House
Bodden Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Owner/grower Joel Walton really paved the way for the local agriculture community to emerge on-island. He’s producing tomatoes (many types, sizes and shapes, mostly heirlooms), sweet pepper, malabar spinach, eggplant, calabaza, and all kinds of herbs, and even 200+ types of fruit, nuts and spices.
Hamlin Stephenson
East End, Grand Cayman
As a partner farmer in our first annual Slow Food Day in the Cayman Islands, Hamlin is part of a core group of local growers on the island from whom we source great produce for our menu. On our last visit to the farm, we saw amazing romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, pak choi and more!
Please make a printable list of local food suppliers with their addresses, instead of only links to websites. Also, I was looking for the address of City Market, mentioned in your blog today, but it’s not in the food sources listings.
Thanks!
had a great lunch at Michaels last week.
Hi Julie!
If you’re referring to Roots in the City Farmers Market, it actually is listed in our food sources area under “Roots in the City.” We buy from all the farmers (who happen to vend at the market) directly through our forager, including Roots.
Regarding the addresses, some farms don’t typically list since they don’t open to the public… The best place to find them is at farmers markets like Roots in the City and if you have a specific question about arranging a special visit to their properties, they always have contact info (phone and email) listed on their websites. Best to try to reach them that way rather than showing up
Thanks and I hope I’ve addressed your points!
