Mosher Farms
Mosher Farms LLC is a four generation farm that was founded in 1920 by George and Katie Mosher.
It began as a dairy farm but when the price of milk began to decline George with the persuasion from others began to plant peas.
Along with the peas Katie also developed a speak easy in the farm house basement to keep the family going.
In the 30s the farm began to plant beans as well.
To reduce its labor costs the Mosher’s would drive to Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, Pennsylvania where they would hire polish workers to come and pick the crops for exchange of housing.
The workers lived in the small extra bedrooms in the farm house during the season.
