A local Wading River farmer is looking to expand and offer her Urban Coyote microgreens at a host of new locations across the East End and beyond. Nicole Petti said she's excited about expanding her wholesale business.
"I want to nourish the most people possible, and that means expanding access," she said. Urban Coyote Farm microgreens will be available on the North Fork at Sang Lee Farms in Peconic, 1760 Homestead in Riverhead, Golden Acres Organic Farm in Riverhead, and on the South Fork at Share the Harvest Farm in East Hampton, and Hen of the Woods in Southampton.
The greens can also be ordered through Zilnicki Farms' weekly, customizable CSA, which has options for delivery or pick-up at their farmstand in Riverhead. "We have a few new partners in the works, as well, so stay tuned," Petti said.
Colorful Urban Coyote Farm microgreens are also featured on the new, all-vegetarian menu at North Fork Chocolate & Eatery in Riverhead; North Fork Chocolate & Eatery Chef Steven Amaral transforms some of the greens into pesto, she said.
Petti celebrated the one-year anniversary of her one-woman operation, Urban Coyote Farm, her home-based microgreenery, last month. One year, she said, translates to planting more than 200 pounds of seeds. Petti said she grows about 4,000 10-inch x 10-inch square trays in a year and produces about 10,000 clamshells full of microgreens.
