Founded in 2003 by Alex Balsam, Balsam Farms is located on the South Fork of the East End of Long Island. We started farming with ten rented acres, one tractor, and a small roadside farm stand. We’ve learned and grown a lot since then, and today we farm several fields between the villages of Amagansett and Sagaponack.

Our roots go back to a young boy and his love of tractors. Alex Balsam got behind the wheel of his first tractor, our 1939 Farmall A, on his thirteenth birthday. Shortly after, he began farming a small one acre plot in Amagansett. Several years after that, on his first day of freshman year at Cornell University, he met philosophy major Ian Calder-Piedmonte, and the two became good friends.
