King of Greens | Sky Farm | Chris Regan

March 2nd, 2007 by craigmc

Chris

Chris Regan was schooled as a painter, but the palette he uses nowadays is
various shades of greens. He’s the brains behind Sky Farm near Millerton in
upstate New York. With his small crew he grows 11 acres of gourmet salad mix
including over 30 varieties of greens, herbs, edible flowers, and “wild” plants.

In peak season he produces over eight hundred pounds a week which he
markets directly to over 50 restaurants in the surrounding area. These days
he can be found on Wednesdays offering tasty samples of his salad mixes at
the Woodstock Farm Festival.

Chris has become something of an authority on salad mix composition and its
seasonality. He maintains quality throughout the growing season with his use
of organic methods, cover crops for fertility and weed management and smart
rotations. Doing all that means the produce that comes out of his fields is the
very best it can be.
