Long Island: Farmstay: That's how down-to-earth is America's Sylt
On the island before the gates of New York City, the beautiful and rich people spend their time, the beaches are excellent, life is glamorous and expensive. But there is also another side.
On Long Island, New York, oyster farming is underway with companies like Southold Bay Oysters cultivating Crassostrea virginica, or American oysters, in the Southold Bay. According to Billy Wellman, president of the company, a single oyster can filter around 50 gallons of water in 24 hours. The state of New York has a program to re-establish oyster populations, as they were once abundant and a common food source for all, but are now scarce and expensive.
Long Island, known as the "Sylt of America" or "Hollywood East", has a contrasting landscape, with the southern part, the Hamptons, being a hub for the wealthy and glamorous, while the northern part, the North Fork, is characterized by farms, vineyards, and a more rural atmosphere. The North Fork is home to several successful wineries, including Paumanok and Wölffer Estate, which produce high-quality wines using sustainable practices.
Local chefs, such as Jerry Dicecco, prioritize using ingredients from the island, including seafood from Braun Seafood, to create a unique and regional cuisine.
