The Youngs Farm features its own 15 acres as well as greenhouses where they harvest 50 varieties of fruits and vegetables, and the produce is certified organic.
OLD BROOKVILLE, NY -- A family-run farm on Long Island that has been around for five generations is serving more customers than ever due to its increased customer base during the pandemic.Tim Dooley, the farm's director, said the farm already had a large group of loyal customers pre-pandemic, but that more people have started shopping there since the pandemic and sales have skyrocketed.
Dooley said they have not had a problem retaining workers during the pandemic and sales were so good last year that they decided to stay open throughout the winter and are doing the same this winter. In years prior, the farm closed for six weeks during the winter. The farm hasn't been immune, however, to issues caused by the pandemic, like the supply chain issues.
