Makinajian Poultry Farm

I purchased two ducks for my family
Christmas dinner and was pleased with the quality. The ducks were gutted and cleaned well prior to my arrival. I am no chef but the meat and skin were moist and tasty. I used the bones for a broth which also turned out great. As I waited in line to purchase I noted that they had an extensive selection of organic produce (shitake, bock choy, apples, etc.). I did not purchase any but it was good to see such a wide variety and not have to be in a whole foods. The owner seemed nice enough and included a free oven mitt with my purchase. If you are looking for fresh/​organic meats/​produce I would recommend stopping by. For ducks/​chickens, call in advance to have your order prepared.

I was visiting my Mom and decided to drive to Makinajian Poultry Farm to buy one of their fresh turkeys for our Christmas dinner. It was amazing! Tender, juicy and delicious! I will make sure to purchase all of our future turkeys from the Makinajian Poultry Farm. Also, even in December, they had some home grown vegetables (baby broccoli, bean sprouts) and fresh eggs that were equally delicious. Love this place!

I agree with the others, the turkey i purchased was gamey tasting and the meat was overall not very good. I like purchasing from local shops, ill have to try another next year. So sorry, i like the whole atmosphere of the farm. Nice people.

Not sure what happened this year, but I agree with the reviewer who said that the turkey tasted very gamey, the meat was not succulent at all, it was very stringy, the breast was tough, despite the fact that we followed the same recipe as we did last year, not sure if I am going to be trekking here again, an hour drive, an hour wait, 5 bucks per pound and a huge disappointment this year. I probably would have been better off picking up the fresh bird from the supermarket.

Purchased a turkey for the first time… paid $ 4.99 lb… very disappointed… tasted very «gamy». No one else (there were 6 of us) cared for it. What a waste of $ 70. Thank goodness for all the side dishes we made. Don’t waste your money!!!

Made the trek out here on a Sunday for the sole purpose of getting duck breasts. A friend had told me a high end restaurant in Manhattan uses them for their duck supply.
When you pull up you see their future product in the pond. They looked happy and healthy. And if the quality of what I cooked tonight is any indication, they are loving life.
The whole breast is split into 2 connected lobes. Really butchered properly. Skin and fat were a perfect pale yellow and the breast were a rich red. Scored and cooked in skillet. Released a fair amount of fat but not as much as I expected. Skin crisped nicely and cooked to a nice medium. Super tender and flavorful without a hint of gaminess.
I am curing the other two breasts for duck prosciutto. Will see how that turns out in a few weeks.
Also picked up some chicken. Lots of greens and organic products. Some hard to find herbs and roots as well.
Nice woman at the register. I will be back in the very near future.

i love that i found a farm 2.5miles from my house, with livestock and grow their own vegetables. There are all organic with the prices to match it. I would recommend the fresh eggs, rotisserie chicken it is expensive but you can tell how fresh it is… the fire wood is the only good deal at 8 bucks for 15 pieces…

This was a spectacular shopping experience for me. Entering the parking lot I felt like I was in a different state. There were these sheep, geese, ducks, and lambs kept in the pen in the front. There was also a horse. You just don’t see that very often on Long Island. The store itself is very neat and clean. There are things like fresh produce and pantry items for sale, but more importantly Makinajian’s sells the meat of the animals in the pen (save for the horse). They do not butcher these same animals on the premises, however. I purchased a pound of duck breast for a little over $ 13. That may seem pricey to some but this does not compare to duck you’ve had at a Chinese restaurant or even a French restaurant. There were only a few breasts out, so I believe the duck must have been cleaned within the past 2 days.
I was tempted to purchase the medjool dates and Makinajian’s very large asparagus they had for sale but I resisted and kept to my original intention. When I arrived home I was so excited to prepare duck for lunch. I can say this meat is very nutritious. There must be half a day’s intake of iron in one breast alone. I will certainly be back, I can’t think of a better place to obtain my future duck, Cornish hen, lamb, and turkey meals. Makinajian’s earns the rating.

stopped in here to get some local cider – saw they had a lot ot gluten free items and since if was the week before Thanksgiving they seemed to be getting a constant stream of orders for turkey so people must think they’re good. I did try a blueberry pie which was DELICIOUS! I will definately be back for more of that!

I have bought their eggs, and they are not farm fresh, but they do cost one dollar more than the grocery store. Nothing special.

great farm. my 3 year old niece loves it. the produce and eggs are great. the owner showed me around when I wanted to see how the chickens were raised, what they were fed, etc. really special place.

When in Huntington, we like to swing by to grab some of the freshest brown eggs and duck eggs, turkey and sometimes a pie. All so so good.

Went today for first time. Great place. Butterflied chicken and grilled with some apple wood smoke. Basically like a out of body experience.
Don’t see myself buying supermarket bird again anytime soon.
Fine work.

Is the chicken local? Yes it is. Does the chickens diet includes hazelnuts? I have no clue. I do know this place is a gem. You feel like your on a farm upstate. I come here to get the fresh eggs, herbs, and poultry. Your food just tastes better when you use their products. Thanksgiving everyone in town flocks to this place to get their turkeys. This is a local business that I will continue to support.

My family has ordered turkeys from Makinajians for 25 years. Nothing tastes as good. Plus the staff is really friendly. Not a huge fan or organic food, but they have everything you could imagine.

Not that I ever do ANYTHING on schedule (wanna know how YOUNG I was when I tied the knot this summer?!?) but whyyyyyy did I wait til YEARS after leaving Huntington to FINALLY decide to drop in on this place?!? I didn’t have the, ummmmm, pleasure of going to the elementary school right next door (which, according to my sister, often had to have indoor recess when the «farm breeze» got a little too strong!!!) but this place truly deserves all the praise it’s been receiving. You can probably find just about everything here in larger, more corporate organic markets, but gems like this, ESPECIALLY in the middle of the ‘burbs, are NOT a dime a dozen, and hopefully will continue to stay afloat for years to come!
Now, off to search out and shop in all the local farmer’s markets here in Ohiooooo that hopefully also will endure for years to come!

I moved to Huntington recently and one of my most very favoritest local finds is Makinajian Farm! See I love it so much, I’m writing colloquially! Having lived in a tiny town in the hills with only a church, post office, and a General Store, Makinajian made me feel like I was really home, even in a big town like Huntington. I love driving up and seeing the chickens and ducks walking around, enjoying the day. I love knowing where my food comes from.
They’re well known for their amazing fresh eggs and poultry, and with good reason. Nothing beats fresh, organic, wholesome food and when you cook with ingredients from places like this, you can really taste the difference. What people may not know is that they have packed a lot of stuff into this tiny place — not only do they sell eggs and poultry and fresh local produce (or California produce, when they need to fill in some staple gaps), but they’ve also got fresh baked pies and quiches, local honey (great for combatting allergies!), bread from the Hudson Valley, pantry staples like flour, sugar, butter, milk, yogurt, and even dressings, sauces, gluten free foods, and a freezer full of frozen veggies, and more. If you wanted to, you could pretty much make Makinajian your one and only grocery stop. On top of that, the folks that work there are sweet as pie. (Did I mention they have pie?)
Yes, you can find veggies, eggs, and chicken for cheaper at big chain grocery stores, but they won’t hold a candle to what you find here. It is so worth it. People, you vote with your dollar and I’m voting local, organic, and DELICIOUS! I’m voting Makinajian.

Great farm in the East Northport/​Huntington area.
My family has been coming here for ages — since I was a kid. We get a soup chicken here for some homemade organic chicken soup goodness.
Now that I am (slightly) grown up, I come here for an attempt to recreate Grandma’s secret recipe. As you pull in, you’ll see animals (ducks, sheep) and you’ll see a cute little stand that houses groceries and other neat things.
If you want something specific, ie. a soup chicken, order it in advance — about a day before. They’ll cut it for you if you want (which is what I prefer). They have all kinds of organic stuff here, farm fresh eggs, herbs, veggies, yum.
The soup is on the stove as I type this. I hope I do my nonna and my momma some justice — never made this completely on my own before!
Visit this place — you won’t be disappointed.

Best place on Long Island. Beautiful ORGANIC farm. Very friendly owner. Working animals outside you can see. Their baked goods are fantastic. They have delicious unhomoginized milk and fresh chicken and eggs. I am very happy this place is so close to home! It is a local must :)
EDIT! Holy Hell their roasted chickens are the best thing I have EVER put into my mouth. Incredibly succulent, the perfect rub… wow.
I love this place SO MUCH!!!

Excellent fresh food! We get our Thanksgiving turkey here and our family raves about it every year! There’s nothing like a fresh turkey!!!
Their rotisserie chickens are delicious!!! And don’t even get me started on their baked goods. I’m getting hungry writing up this review!
Definitely worth a visit if you live in the area. You won’t regret it.
