From Mark Bridgen, professor in the Horticulture Section and director of the Long Island Horticultural Research and Extension Center (LIHREC):
Seven plant breeding graduate students came down for a visit June 25 to get a look at Long Island agriculture. Along with other guests, we toured the Koppert Cress USA microgreen production facility in Riverhead, N.Y. (above), Harbes Family Farm, an agritourism destination in Mattituck, the tropical plant greenhouses and gardens of Landcraft Environments in Mattituck, and the vineyards and winery of Bedell Cellars in Cutchogue.
