What is really rude in the Hamptons is the audacity of the prices charged at Round Swamp Farm in East Hampton.
For $ 66.08, I bought 3 tomatoes, 3 small containers of chicken salad, a bouquet of local flowers, and 5 cookies.
Never again !!!!!

It’s widely accepted that Round Swamp isn’t the cheapest place to shop, but much of the product is local - The Editor
What’s rude is disparaging a local institution because you didn’t look at the prices of your items beforehand. I guess Citarella’s prices are ok because you expect them to be high?
The people at Round Swamp Farm are amazing! They are nice and courteous—even when screaming kids and their super-rude parents are dilly-ing around maveling at the freshly-baked pies, cookies and muffins.
The prices at Round Swamp are reasonable…given everything is made with fresh ingredients in small batches.
If the writer wants food made in a commissary, the he or she should shop at Citarella.
round swamp is a rip off of every asshole in the hamptons, no prices posted anywhere. the sweet ladies who bake the pies are thieves. i made 2 pounds of chicken salad for 10 dollars not 40. fuck you ladies
Round Swamp Farm is a great place, run by local families and the food is absolutely delicious.
That being said, they will charge what people will pay for their goods. If people are willing to pay 10 bucks for a pastry, then heck yeah, I would charge that much. I do not blame them one bit, and I am happy their business is so successful. But that is why local people do not shop there.
Round Swamp Farm is a staple in East Hampton & the women who work there are fabulous. There’s an IGA down the road & Waldbaums is practically around the corner, there’s no reason to complain about Round Swamp.
