Following winter success, Riverhead Farmers Market to head outdoors

Linda’s Baking Company is one of several Farmers Market vendors who operate out of the Stony Brook Business Incubator in Calverton. Ms. Carey, who lives in Wading River, has been at the incubator since last July, when she started the business.

Steven Price of Brooklyn-based Papa Pasquale Ravioli and Pasta said the farmers market has been “very good” for his business, and he will be following it outdoors next Saturday.

“I don’t even want to be indoors in the winter time,” he said.

Mr. Price, who lives in East Quogue and used to run Dora’s Restaurant in Westhampton, said he heard about the Riverhead market from a friend and has participated in it since the first week.

“We do a lot of markets,” he said. “We do maybe 15 to 20 markets and this one is very good. They are nice.”

“I’d have to say that the Riverhead Farmers Market was one of the best farmers markets that I’ve ever been at and it was really wonderful to experience it in the winter,” said Grace Marie Longinetti of Copia Granola Bars, which makes all-natural, gluten free granola bars with no genetically modified ingredients.

“We’re going to go outdoors next week and will be back in the winter if they have it again,” said Ms. Longinetti, who has been a vendor at the Riverhead market since it started on Feb. 1.
