Organic Foods in NY State
Interesting article in the
NY Times about the Rockefeller family and their funding of an Organic Farm and research facility. This organization is a non-profit but there is a for-profit restaurant attached to the site.
bq. ...with $30 million in backing from David Rockefeller, the 88-year-old grandson of John D. Rockefeller. The family's 80-acre cattle farm, part of the Rockefeller family's much larger estate, has been turned into a working organic farm and agricultural education center, with an upmarket restaurant, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, attached to it. The restaurant began serving customers on April 14; it opens officially on May 1.
The restaurant is committed to serving local organically raised food.
