Orange County Operation Is One of the Largest in New York State

摘要

Here's an interesting fact: half of the onions grown in New York State come from therich farmlands of southeastern New York State's Orange County.One of the farms responsible for the agricultural dominance of this tiny corner of New York is Minkus Family Farms, located in the town of New Hampton. It is the largest onion producer in the county by a fair margin.Rick Minkus, along with his wife Geri, and grown sons, Tom and Joe, own and operate Minkus Family Farms. Rick naturally takes some of the credit for the farm's success. But he's also quick to point out that the unusual richness of the muck soil he farmscertainly helps.
