ANTOSZ
Michael Antosz Jr. was 13 years old when he started his farm in 1967
Michael's parents, Michael Sr. and Aline Antosz, emigrated to Hatfield, MA, from Paris, France, with their two daughters Renee and Laura in 1951. Michael Jr. was born in 1958. During the 1950s, Michael Sr. worked two jobs (one of them at the Porter-McLeod Machine Tools Co.) and did farming on the side. The family raised cucumbers and vegetables, and everyone helped.
In the 1970s, Michael Jr. and his wife Liz took over the farm at 8 South St., where they raised their two children, Jason and Becky. Michael’s Dad encouraged his interest in farming from a young age. He and Liz passed that interest along to their son Jason, who now farms the land. |
