Photos: Crates of onions on fields of muck

By Howard B. Owens

My father just left after a two-day visit to Batavia. Wednesday, we visited the Holland Land Office Museum, Oliver's and the Batavia Cemetery and then drove down to Letchworth State Park. Yesterday, I gave him a Genesee County ag tour that started at Post Farms, then the mucklands, then Mortellaro Brothers in Elba then Baskin Livestock in Bethany.  

The only pictures I took yesterday were of crates of onions on the mucklands at Torrey Farms property. These, I thought worth sharing.

I remember those days all too well, my grandfather started parts he owned of the muckland which eventually grew to 600 acres before we sold it all to torreys in 1999.
