North Fork Farmers Heading Upstate

A Wading River couple will be farming on the North Fork no more, as they move their operation upstate to scale down and find cheaper costs.

According to Hamptonburgh, N.Y.'s Times Hearld-Record, Won Doo Mack Farm – which has grown Asian produce in Riverhead for the past two decades – will be moving to Orange County, where the Hong family will be taking its operations.

The article states: 

The plans for Won Doo Mack Farm's property in Hamptonburgh include the construction of four hut-style greenhouses to start, according to documents filed with the Town of Hamptonburgh Planning Board. The greenhouses are specifically for the cucumbers, which need to be protected from wind and kept warm, Hong said.

The Hongs eventually plan to build an additional 20 greenhouses, according to the site plan.
