Practices

Corwith’s Farmstand is known for its unique blend of agricultural heritage and community engagement. The farmstand hosts regular goat yoga classes outdoors, emphasizing the importance of bringing a water bottle, athletic clothing, and a yoga mat or towel. These sessions are part of a broader commitment to outdoor activities and animal-assisted therapy. In addition to yoga, the farm offers a farm camp for children aged 3–8, focusing on hands-on learning and nature exploration. The Corwith family’s long-standing connection to the land is evident in their family-run business model, which has operated since the 1660s.

Offerings

The farmstand provides a variety of local products, including fresh produce, homemade baked goods, jams, ice cream, dairy, and meats. These items are available seasonally, with the farmstand opening in May for the summer season and expanding to a pumpkin patch with fall activities. The focus on farm-to-table goods reflects the Corwiths’ dedication to local sourcing and sustainability.

History

The Corwith family established roots in Southampton, NY, in the 1660s. Over generations, they expanded their operations from general store management to farming, purchasing land in the "Head of the Pond" area in the early 1900s. The farm has been passed down through multiple generations, with James Hervey Corwith, James Carlton, and later Pete, Paul, Dicky, Mark, and Rich Corwith playing pivotal roles. Today, Rich Corwith and Ryan Corwith continue the legacy, operating the self-serve farmstand and pumpkin patch.

Visiting

Located at 851 Head of Pond Rd, Water Mill, NY 11976, the farmstand is accessible to visitors interested in exploring local agriculture.
