(V is for) Victory Farms

A foray into home farming in Huntington Station, New York, Victory Farms, founded in early 2008, is named in honor of Vincent, a young man who lost his life in WWII (and whose family lived at and farmed this land in the 1940s) and the so-called victory gardens that Americans grew to supplement their rations during wartime. Vincent's family left a makeshift cement monument of sorts to him ("Our Boys") and his friend Pat that remains embedded in our patio.
