Satur Farms LLC

What Satur Farms LLC does

Satur Farms LLC is a privately-held, vertically-integrated specialty crop farm founded in 1997 by Paulette Satur and chef Eberhard Müller on the North Fork of Long Island, New York. The farm grows baby leaf salads (mesclun, wild and baby arugula, spinach, Asian greens, kale, romaine, butter lettuce, frisée, treviso, hemp baby leaf), specialty vegetables (baby carrots, beets, turnips, radishes, romanesco, leeks, Brussels sprouts, Swiss chard, Tuscan kale, baby bok choi), culinary herbs (chervil, cilantro, parsley), edible flowers, and a line of premium organic single-serve salad dressings launched in 2019. Core technical capabilities include vacuum cooling that drops field temperatures to ~35°F within 15 minutes, integrated pest management using biological controls, mechanical cultivation, peroxide-based wash systems, cover crop-driven soil regeneration, and proprietary light-excluding blanching caps for chicories that are now sold commercially to other growers.

The business operates a dual-channel go-to-market centered on direct sales to fine dining restaurants in Manhattan (hundreds of accounts including Daniel, Jean Georges, Le Bernardin, Four Seasons, Gramercy Tavern, Le Cirque) and retail distribution through upscale grocers (Whole Foods, King Kullen, Gourmet Garage, Dean & DeLuca) plus FreshDirect online grocery and Baldor Specialty Foods distribution. The company runs ~180 acres in Cutchogue, NY and ~150 acres in Florida for year-round supply, growing 50–60 crop varieties. Revenue derives from one-time wholesale and retail produce sales, value-added packaged dressings, and ancillary farm-equipment sales (blanching caps). Operations are founder-led with no external funding rounds disclosed, and the company holds a portfolio of food-safety certifications (Primus GFS, HACCP, Global GAP, FSMA, PCQUI, NY State Grown & Certified) plus a Women-Owned Business Enterprise designation.
