Jeff Negron is the owner and operator of The Growing Seed, a for profit business that designs, installs, maintains and harvests vegetable gardens for residential and commercial properties. Four years ago, Jeff started The Growing Seed when he felt that his community would benefit from the services of a business dedicated solely to vegetable and edible gardens. Over the past year, his business has transitioned to a focus on the needs of restaurant vegetable gardens. Additionally, Jeff has also worked and volunteered for the Edible School Gardens of the East End, and finally is found on most Saturdays at the Sag Harbor Farmers market, selling produce from Dale and Bette's farm. _______
