As Passover and Easter approach, Schmitt’s Farm on Sound is ramping up production of their homemade horseradish. The farm, which grows about 17 acres of horseradish year round, has become a local favorite and spring tradition for many families on the North Fork and beyond.
Fourth-generation farmer Matt Schmitt began selling the beloved horseradish around 2010, though his family has grown the root for more than a century. Schmitt first learned the recipe from his grandfather and now sells a variety of creative flavors of the fiery condiment, like BBQ, beet and cranberry.
