delivery area Boreum Hill, Brooklyn. The Green Thumb Farm, located in Water
Mill, Long Island, consists of 90 acres and has been farmed by the Halsey family
since the 1640s. Due to development in the area and more competition from other
potato growing states, spuds were becoming less profitable to grow. Realizing
that he had to put his four children through college, Ray Halsey diversified his
crop allotting 35 acres to raising tomatoes, corn, peppers, and eggplants. The
yield was sold at a roadside stand on Montauk Highway and the venture became so
successful that he stopped growing potatoes altogether.
