Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Farm adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) which recognizes the tax benefit associated with tax taken for tax return purposes when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained. The implementation of these standards had no impact on the Farm's financial statements. The Farm does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly, it will not recognize any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no interest or penalties recorded or included in its financial statements. Returns filed for tax years ended on or after December 31, 2012, are subject to examination by federal and State authorities.”

IRS990/Desc0Farm - The Farm has a deep farm history dating back to its original development as a provisioning plantation in 1652. Development and an over-population of deer wiped out the last active Shelter Island farm in the 1980s. The Farms efforts to re-establish local agriculture has over 70 acres in agricultural use. The Farm distributes the produce through a Community Supported Agriculture program to approximately 125 families. The families pre-pay for farm produce, volunteer on the farm and pick-up harvested food every Saturday morning from Memorial Day to Columbus Day. The Farm also sells retail produce at a farm stand and at local farmers markets. The Farm hosts open farm days and agricultural education programs on the farm, including a residential apprentice farmer training program. The Farm donates excess products to other local charities. It collaborates with Amagansett Food Institute, Edible East End, Edible School Gardens, FoodLab at Stony Brook and Slow Food East End to promote and support sustainable agriculture practices and programs. The organization also has an annual membership drive. In 2015 this accounted for $9,435 in public support. In addition, the Farm has an active group of year round volunteers who assist with events, house tours, farm and garden work, and many other activities.
