Each spring, Gabrielsen Farms in Jamesport helps bring a burst of color to neighborhoods across Long Island. The family-run grower has partnered with Lidl grocery stores for several years, supplying garden centers throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties with locally grown plants and flowers.

From annuals and perennials to edible plants and shrubs, the selection available at participating Lidl locations originates in Gabrielsen’s East End greenhouses. The operation spans approximately 300,000 square feet across three locations and produces a wide variety of potted plants, hanging baskets, flats, mixed containers, herbs, and vegetables.

Sustainability is central to Gabrielsen Farms’ growing practices. The greenhouses are fully solar powered and utilize computer-controlled systems along with recycled water to reduce environmental impact. The farm also relies on pesticide-free fertilizers to help protect Long Island’s groundwater, reinforcing its commitment to responsible agriculture.

Beyond production, Gabrielsen Farms plays an active role in the community. The company partners with local schools to provide agricultural education and student tours, helping to introduce the next generation to farming and sustainability on the East End.

By supplying garden centers at multiple Lidl locations across the region, Gabrielsen Farms continues to demonstrate how local agriculture can scale while maintaining environmental responsibility. For shoppers picking up spring plants, it’s an opportunity to support a North Fork grower while adding locally cultivated greenery to their homes and gardens.
