A Proud Long Island Farm, Fifty Years Strong Deer Run Farms has been growing on the East End of Long Island for over half a century. What started as a small vegetable farm by the Nolan family has grown into a vital part of the Long Island’s food landscape—still family-owned, still hands-on. From the beginning, their goal was simple: feed their neighbors with fresh, local produce they could be proud of. That mission still guides them today. Across generations, the Nolans have stayed grounded in their values: hard work, honesty, and a deep respect for the land they call home.
Farming with Their Neighbors in Mind The Nolan family has always believed that the best produce comes from paying close attention to every little detail, from planting the first seeds to harvesting at just the right time. That care shows up in every cabbage, carrot, and ear of corn they pick. Each vegetable is the result of decades spent listening to what the land needs. It’s this connection to the East End—its soil, its seasons, its people—that has nourished their family and their community for generations.
A Shared Commitment to Local Produce For the Nolans, farming has always been about more than just growing vegetables—it’s about feeding the people around them and staying connected to their community. That’s why their relationship with Nathel & Nathel works so well. It’s rooted in shared values: a commitment to fresh, great-tasting produce, and a deep respect for the land and the people it feeds. Nathel & Nathel has stood by Deer Run Farms, helping make sure the vegetables grown just miles away end up on tables across the region. It’s a partnership built on trust, and strengthened by time—just like the farm it supports.
