Biodynamic Garden on Staten Island
Something exciting and unexpected is growing on old Pavilion Hill, in Staten Island. Joe Scaravella, proprieter of Enoteca Maria, along with a group of like-minded friends, is developing a biodynamic micro-farm, located on a terraced hillside, a few short blocks from his restaurant. Responding to that same inner drive that inspired him to open the Enoteca, Joe is striving to bring his food to the next level.
The grandmothers of Enoteca Maria will reap the benefits of the harvest and use this bounty of herbs, vegetables, and fruits in their time-honored recipes. They have already begun using select herbs at the Enoteca.
This is the very first biodynamic garden in the five boroughs of New York City!
Visit Numina Biodynamics to see how the seeds are being sown.

Hey Joe!
I grew up on “the Island” and will be there in July visiting family. We plan to dine at Enoteca Maria and I’m thrilled to read that you are a biodynamic farmer. These days I live in Utah where I write, paint, and grow as much of my food as possible - would love to see your garden and chat with a fellow farmer. Are you up for a little tour?

The food experience at Enoteca is simply AMAZING! It tastes wonderful and is good for you too. I am so thrilled about the expansion of this biodynamic garden. Where do I sign up to volunteer and help with the garden?

The whole Enoteca experience is wonderful and shows not only deep love and knowledge of food, but also profound enjoyment and fondness for creating a congenial, informative, warm atmosphere for fine dining, friends, and great wine. My husband and I brought friends to Enoteca for Valentine’s Day and had an unforgettable time. Love the garden idea and am sure you will take your concept higher and higher, to all our benefit!
