Slow food, sustainable agriculture, organic farming, and farm-to-table are terms that are so ubiquitous in the ever-expanding culinary world that hardly a restaurant opens today that doesn’t tout its use of locally sourced organic ingredients.

Several chefs on the East End were early proponents of those practices before they became commonplace, among them Colin Ambrose, who purchased Estia in Amagansett in 1991 and planted a two-acre organic garden close by, on the property of Lorne Michaels, the producer of “Saturday Night Live,” which provided produce for the restaurant.
