Local Ingredients
At Hamersley’s Bistro we attempt to use local ingredients whenever possible. Right now we are buying lettuces, herbs (basil, tarragon, chives, parsley, scallions) beets, leeks, cucumbers, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, squash, eggplants, onions, fennel, swiss chard, radishes and peppers from some of our long-time friends whose produce we showcase in the delicious dishes on our
summer menu.
Steve, Joan and Jennifer Verrill grow most of our vegetables during the summer. Verrill Farms is located in Concord.
Ellery Kimball is a young farmer who works a small number of organic acres in Lincoln called Blue Heron Farm.
Pat and Barb Woodbury own Woodbury’s Clams in Wellfleet. They have been growing clams for us for 20 years.
Stu Cohen forages for wild mushrooms in western Massachusetts.
Pio Angellini grows the best berries in the state.
During the summer season, Massachusetts fishermen are allowed to harvest 750,000 pounds of beautiful striped bass from our shores.
