From Marilee Foster, of Foster Farms, Sagaponack, NY:
Our soil’s so fertile, things get big. Like a sweet potato the size of a head.
It’s called Bridgehampton Loam — officially recognized by the USDA. Balanced, well-draining, with just enough clay to hold moisture during dry spells.
South of the highway in Sagaponack? That’s 100% pure, rich Bridgehampton Loam.
North of the highway? That’s Riverhead Sand. Not bad — just not the same.
Try our Sagaponack sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and squash. Size, sweetness, and depth of flavor all start in the soil.
