Farm Stands
Man, nowadays you see farm stands on nearly any road you travel on. Back in the 1960's in Sag Harbor there were only three. Bee's on Noyac Rd near Brick Kiln. Soah's on the sharp corner of Noyac Road, and the third, Bildzis, at the intersection of Noyac Road and Stony Hill Road. A fourth stand, called the Other Stand did not appear until the late 70's. Noyac Road was still partly undeveloped and there were several hundred acres of corn fields. Slowly houses appeared and by the 1980's all fields were gone. By the later 1990's all the farm stands on Noyac Road had disappeared with the exception of the Noyac Rd. and Stony Hill Road stand. The stand has not been actually used in decades, and is about to fall down, but the owner sells products out of it a few times a year to keep it's status up. A late 1950's shot of the Bildzis stand you can still see standing on Noyac Road and Stony Hill Road intersection is seen below.
