Mulligan Farm marks centennial year Registration open

By HOLLY WATSON
and CLARA MULLIGAN
In 1920 – practically an-
other world ago – Edward D.
and Nancy Taylor Mulligan
purchased a beautiful farm in
Avon. That was 100 years ago
this year, and what a lot has
taken place in the intervening
time!
Edward D. Mulligan (1894-
1964) grew up in Rochester.
His father had grown up on a
farm in Canada, but did not
take to the lifestyle and instead
had become a prominent phy-
sician; his mother had good
social connections. Edward
studied agriculture at Cornell
University and Nancy also took
agriculture classes, as neither
had farming background. After
spending a year working and
learning on a farm in Phelps,
they decided they wanted
their own farm. Edward’s fa-
ther’s reply was that he could
buy a farm “if he wanted to be
a damn fool.” Undeterred, Ed
and Nancy searched for the
perfect land. They had an of-

fer from Macedon, and they
looked in Caledonia, but it was
Barber Road in Avon that got
their bid in 1920.
The 640-acre farm they
chose was established in 1840
by Aaron Barber and contin-
ued by his son, Aaron Barber Jr.
The Barbers, for which the road
is named, amassed parcels of
choice farmland, cultivated

Ed Mulligan bought his first

from the Markham and Puffer
farm, known as Elm Place, just
down the road. He was one of

among generational farmers.
To many people, long days
of thankless work that corre-
spond with fluctuating costs
of product and a constant
uncertainty of the future
could be enough of a reason
to shy away from the farm-
ing industry. But to farmers,
whom have farmed their land
for a century or more, these
are among the reasons they
continue to push themselves
to produce quality produce,
dairy, meat, grains, and more
within New York State.
It takes loyalty, love,
and grit to maintain family
owned land and farm quali-
ty products all while growing
generations of families.

powered by a gasoline genera-
tor.
During the 1940s and 1950s,
Nancy operated an egg busi-
ness assisted by 700 laying
hens. She crated the eggs, and
took them to the Avon depot
where they were loaded onto a
train, bound for New York City.
She also raised meat chickens,
and always had a vegetable
garden and bottle lambs in the
kitchen.
The Mulligans could never
have run the farm alone. Ma-
ny people from Avon and the
surrounding community were
employed at the farm, includ-
ing traveling thresher George
Benck, farm hands Frank
LaPoma and Jerry Hulbert, and
Don and Dovey Monson, who
worked in the fields and house,
respectively. The Kovals were
hired by Aaron Barber and
even stayed on after the Mulli-
gans bought the operation.
When Ed died in 1964, his
son Mike Mulligan (1926-2011)
was next in line. Mike always
figured he would be a farm-
er. One of his earliest memo-
ries was being 6 years old and
driving a team of horses to pick
up piles of hay. He milked the

mother, Nancy, who worked
to get the farm listed on the
National Register of Historic
Places. Finalized in 1980, this is
a unique designation because
not just the buildings are listed,
but the land is, too, as an exam-
ple of a 19th-century farming
complex.
Eventually, Mike tired of
the everyday work of milking,
so he sold the cows in 1977. It
was a hard day seeing the cows
auctioned off, and it felt like
the end of an era. He stayed in-
volved in farming, but was feel-
ing ready to hand over the reins
to the next generation. Nancy
died in 1983, leaving the farm
to his children, Jeff, Phillip, and
Clara. Jeff had gone to college
for outdoor education, but he,
like his father and grandfather,
knew he wanted to be a farm-
er. So, in 1980, Jeff bought his
first Holstein heifers and be-
gan a new herd, three years
to the day of the auction. Lesa
Sobolewski, Jeff’s wife, became
an indispensable part of the
operation while running a bed-
and-breakfast in the historic

In 2013, the next genera-

enterprise to grow special-

from the Natural Resources

began growing lettuce under
the Pa’s Produce label. In 2016,
they installed a top-dry grain
bin with a grain leg and added
two more tunnels. Today, they
grow leaf lettuce, microgreens
and sunflower sprouts, which
are marketed locally to restau-

November.

NY Ag Society annual forum to explore lessons from pandemic
The New York State Agricul-
tural Society will host its 189th
annual Meeting and Agricultur-
al Forum will focus on building a
resilient food system in the wake
of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event, to be conducted in
a virtual setting on Jan. 7, 2021,
will feature state Agriculture
Commissioner Richard A. Ball
delivering the 2021 State of Agri-
culture Address.
“While we won’t be able to
gather together in person this
year, as has been our annual tra-
dition, I am pleased to still have
the opportunity to come togeth-
er as a community to reflect on
what has undoubtedly been our
most challenging year ever and
to appreciate what has been a
tremendous response to our lo-
cal food system, Ball said.
The forum, which is tradition-
ally the oldest and largest meet-
ing of its kind in the state, will
bring together representatives
from all sectors of the agricultur-
al industry to discuss topics that
are crucial to the future of New
York agriculture.
The forum will also recognize
and honor the contributions of
industry stakeholders in eight
award categories.
“There’s no doubt that the
NYS ag industry has been test-
ed in 2020, and our non-farm
neighbors are certainly more
sensitive to the vulnerabilities of
our food system as a result of the
pandemic,” said Judi Whittaker,
president of the NYS Agricultur-
al Society. “How we navigate the
