In 2012, married couple Brianne and Thomas Hart started farming on leased land in Orient. One year later, they purchased a farmhouse on an 8-acre lot in Southold.

After he settled on the name Deep Roots Farm, he later found out it was the same name as a former North Fork farm.
“We want to put down roots in this community,” he said. “I’m not going anywhere and our families are not. We are trying to figure out how to make a living and stay in Southold.”

And you can probably guess where the arugula was sourced from. (more…)
