In 1978, Ed Harbes began working with his father in a multi-generational potato and cabbage farming business on Long Island (Mattituck, New York). The 1980's were a transitioning period for farming. An increasingly global economy made it difficult for smaller "Mom and Pop" type operations to thrive. After several disappointing years in the potato business the Harbes Family Farm shifted focus to retail farming.
In 1989, they planted a new type of Super Sweet Corn, built a 14' by 14' gazebo and started retailing directly to the public. The farm now has two locations, and all eight of the Harbes children have taken an active part in farm operations, from plowing and harvesting the fields to running the farm stands.
