The second experimental farm, "Prosperity Farm" was begun in Medford in 1907 and was operated by Hal B. & Edith Fullerton. These two set out to show Long Island to be a "Garden of Eden", an agricultural paradise. All sorts of produce were grown here.... Fruits, vegetables, shrubs, ornamentals. The site was transformed into a secluded paradise. Before long they were shipping crates of vegetables to New York City and Long Island markets and winning blue ribbons at the county and state fairs. The Long Island Railroad would set up excursions to visit these farms and show the public that the land was not sour or barren.
