Farmer & the Fish
There’s a new restaurant in Purdy’s that celebrates locally grown food and quality seafood. The Farmer & the Fish is nestled within a 22-acre Land Trust in an 18th century house that is on the National Register of Historic Places. Owners Edward Taylor and Michael Kaphan serve brunch, lunch and dinner with fresh fish from Down East Seafood and fresh produce from the five-acre farm they operate right next to the restaurant. That’s pretty local and pretty fresh if you ask us. And just in time for healthy summer eating. Reservations accepted. 100 Titicus Road, North Salem. 617-8380. www.farmerandthefish.com.
