SHOREWOOD FARM


What's up, down on the farm...

That's right, we've started a local organic farm for the restaurant!!!

As we get more and more into the local food movement we can't help but want to jump right in and get our hands dirty!  So we're starting a little farm of our own in Lake View, NY.

Our intention is to grow our own organic heirloom herbs and vegetables so that throughout the year we can daily we can harvest and bring in unique and specialized elements to add to your dishes here at merge.  We are also growing a large field of wildflowers which will add to the decor on the tables at merge throughout the summer.

Check out Sarah gently tucking soil and compost into the beds -
 

We are starting small, but we will begin keeping chickens in our city home beginning this fall to learn the trials involved in having backyard fresh eggs.

Of course we will still work with many other local organic farms to deliver you the highest quality produce that makes all our dishes exceptional including Oles Farm, Arden Farms, & Thundermountain.
 
Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to catch up with us.  We are so grateful for the amazing community here in Buffalo including you - all our family and friends!
 
Sincerely,
 
Sarah & Eliza Schneider, co-creators
Kate Elliott, chef
& the entire merge team
