In a region celebrated for its wine, one North Fork vineyard stands alone in its approach to farming — and it’s now the subject of an exclusive feature on Long Island Health & Vitality, the area's rising media platform dedicated to wellness, sustainability, and premium local living.

The recently published article spotlights Farm Wines, the only vineyard on Long Island practicing full biodynamic farming — a regenerative method that goes far beyond organic certification. Owned and operated by Rex Farr, a Vietnam veteran turned visionary farmer, the vineyard’s methods are rooted in the holistic teachings of Rudolf Steiner, using herbal preparations, composting, and lunar rhythms to work in harmony with nature.
“We’re about to get Demeter certified,” says Rex, referring to the world’s strictest standard in biodynamic agriculture. “Everything here is done with intention and rhythm — there’s nothing synthetic about what goes on out there.”
With a career that spans organic produce, music, photography, and now elite winemaking, Rex Farr’s story is one of passion, perseverance, and deep respect for the land. The article explores his transformation from artist to farmer, his early role in founding Long Island’s first certified organic farm, and how Farm Wines is now producing biodynamic varietals with distinctive terroir and soul.
“You're drinking wine that's 20,000 years in the making,” Rex explains, referencing the ancient glacial soils that enrich the vineyard’s grapes — and give his wines their signature intensity.
