Amber Waves Farm

Top choice in The Hamptons


In a fairy-tale setting under maple trees flanked by blooming hydrangeas, this organic farm-to-table food stand is the reason you come to the Hamptons (besides the beaches and P. Diddy parties). Breakfast brings incredibly fresh and innovative dishes, such as tostadas with crispy mushrooms, potatoes, slaw and picked veggies, and delectable baked goods (herb/cheddar/kale scones, heirloom tomato focaccia).

The market deals in freshly made condiments (ketchup, kimchi, preserves, pickled banana peppers, yellow tomato sauce etc), fresh produce and hip gear. Everything comes from the educational farm, directly behind, which hosts all manner of (mostly) kid-driven events.
