"This project will help local family farmers expand their operations while providing neighboring businesses with locally grown produce,” Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy said in a statement Friday." Many small farms and wineries lack specialized processing, packaging and cold storage facilities, officials said. It is also expected to save local farmers some overhead costs.

The facility is a public-private partnership between local farmers, wineries, commercial fishing companies and J. Kings Inc., a food shipping company. It came to fruition after a $500,000 seed grant from New York State’s regional economic development initiative.

East End-grown produce, wines and seafood will be opened up to new markets beyond Long Island thanks to a new “agri-park” processing plant established in Riverhead.
