Visit To The Farm Yields Educational Experience For Students

While touring the farm students were able to pick, wash and sample items such as specialty baby greens, herbs, flowers and seasonal veggies.

From Three Village Central School District: Three Village Central School District’s gourmet food classes run at the secondary level had the chance to experience the agricultural business and discover where the food on their plates is coming from during a recent visit to Sang Lee Farms.

Sang Lee Farms opened in the 1940s and began in the farming industry with Asian produce and continues to grow in the moderate climate offered by the location between the Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay. Now, the farm has expanded and includes a larger variety of locally grown, organic produce that has gained an excellent reputation.

While touring the farm, students were able to pick, wash and sample items such as specialty baby greens, herbs, flowers and seasonal vegetables. They also got to purchase items such as salads, spreads and dips made fresh utilizing produce from the farms available at the farm stand. The students were excited to pick vegetables right from the ground, apples from the trees and bring home the “fruits of their labor” to enjoy with family and friends.
