When my father first bought property in Humphrey in 1965 he chose the Indian name Wa-Tera-Swo which means "a dreamers land." My father loved to garden and planted some blueberries on top of the hill. The blueberries found this piece of heaven on earth and it flourished so well that he planted more so he could retire early (54) and grow and sell blueberries. I was the first to sell blueberries at the farmers market in East Aurora NY in 1981 till 1985 when I finished my MBA from St. Bonaventure University, Olean, NY. The family farm was New York State outstanding tree farm in 1991. In 1986 I bought my own land on Cooper Hill. I planted a blueberry patch (5 acres) and about 10 acres of chestnuts. Now we manage about 367 acres, which we manage as a tree farm under 4 principles (water quality, wildlife, timber and recreation). I was a manufacturer representative and while traveling in Asia met my future wife. In 2002 we got married and started a winery and selling blueberries at the farmers markets. We have 3 wonderful children who we thought would be great blueberry pickers but we found they were best as blueberry eaters :-( or I mean "tasters" :-)
