The Winter Growers Podcast

Patty Gentry of Early Girl Farm grows in Brookhaven on Long Island, NY. She has been described as "the Picasso of vegetables" and is featured in a documentary film, The Soul of a Farmer, that follows her farming journey and takes a raw and honest look at the challenges facing small-scale farmers today. As a former chef, Patty loves and understands vegetables, and she is passionate about quality and taste and supplying her customers with beautiful produce year-round. Growing on 2 acres, she sells to seven restaurantes, and a 150 member CSA. She dreams of one day opening a little market garden cafe and book store and gathering space dedicated to all things growing. I loved speaking with Patty, she is a passionate a curious learner who offers so much warmth, humor, and thoughtfullness to our conversation.
