Long Island’s agreeable weather, clean waters and fertile soil have made this narrow island the heart of New York’s agriculture industry. As a result, Long Island farmers are proud to offer residents a bounty of fresh fruits, vegetables, poultry, fish, herbs, flowers and wine.

To increase the public’s awareness of Long Island’s unique agricultural offerings, the Long Island Farm Bureau is inviting residents to celebrate the local harvest at “Grown on Long Island Day” in Yaphank, L.I. on Aug. 5.
