Years ago, and I am thinking this would be before I was born and then when I was a child, the Eastern End of Long Island was mostly potato farms. I doubt there are any left. Price of land went way up as they built up Suffolk County.
Of course now they do have the East End Fancy Wineries. But potato Farms and Duck Farms are all gone. Probably the Duck Farms stunk so much that no one minded them being gone.
