HISTORY
A little about our history . . . owner Michael Beneduce is a third generation grower who learned the business
at his grandfather's farm stand, "Amato's", on Shunpike Road in Madison. Barely twenty years old, Michael purchased
the property here in Meyersville in 1978 and began to build the first quarter of the existing greenhouse, selling
both wholesale and retail to customers who followed from Amato's. Today, our operation is 100% retail and we service
customers from Staten Island, Connecticut and New York in addition to the locals. We have two employees who have been
with us since 1980-- Julie and Roseanne, and others who have been here for more than ten years-- Jay and Shawn. Don't
see Shawn around any more? He runs our Pittstown location, growing annuals and perennials in our 10 greenhouses there,
five of which we just added in 2006. Our daughter is studying horticulture at Rutgers/Cook College and our son attends
Cornell University studying plant science. So we plan to be here for a while!
