Notability
[edit]- It's one of the largest farms in New York; it's larger than every other New York farm with an article. Category:Farms in New York
- It is the largest area of muckland in the world.
- It is highly sourced and covered in the media Daniel Christensen (talk) 15:56, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Also consider how few articles have pictures
[edit]That picture was on Wikipedia by coincidence as it was part of the muckland article. In a way that means something, too. Over 10,000 acres is a lot of land and muck is special stuff. It's all people-food crops, too, so it's not like a giant dirt farm. Daniel Christensen (talk) 16:23, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Torrey "history"
[edit]"In 1626, the Torrey family left England due to disagreement with the church." Unlikely. No Torreys were at Plymouth. Boston was not settled til 1630. The four brothers Torrey arrived in Massachusetts Bay in 1640. See Frederic C. Torrey, The Torrey Families and Their Children in America, vol. 1 (1924). I have dropped the former reference to this as an "11-generatio" farm-- that was bought in 1948!--Wetman (talk) 15:51, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
