The Best Market was big enough that it needed two tenants to fill its former space. Lidl bought 27 of the grocery stores from Best Market several years ago, including all 24 on Long Island. The German discount retailer opened a 36,000-square-foot space in September.

A century-old farm in Wading River will be remaining in the family after the Peconic Land Trust worked on a $7.9 million deal to preserve John Condzella Jr.’s farm, according to Newsday. The deal involved six parcels, funded by $5.6 million in state grants, $2 million in land discounts on behalf of the sellers and some private donations.

The relatively small farm is known for its hops, asparagus and strawberries. Once the deal is closed, the Condzella farm will own the properties across the 38 acres, while the land trust will own the development rights.
