Thera Farms is producing produce in the suburbs

Thera Farms in Brentwood is one of a handful of produce-growing farms left in western Suffolk County that are 10 acres or larger, said owner Teddy Bolkas. Farm preservationists believe that farms such as Thera, now in its third year of operation, could possibly revive produce-growing farms in suburbia on Long Island.
