Woodbury Farm Market Celebrates 50th Anniversary

November 17, 2008

WOODBURY - Woodbury Farm Market, 717 Main Street South, is celebrating its 50-year anniversary.

Owner Sue Donato told Voices she remembers her parents, Eugene and the late Eleanor Cozzolino, working very hard, building their business and enjoying what they did.

In 1958, Woodbury Farm Market was located across the street from the current site of the business. The family moved the business across the street in 1976 where they sold fruits, vegetables and plants.

The Touch of Holly gift shop, long a popular stop, is run by Sue’s sister, Wendy Linholm.

Sue and her husband, Joe Donato, expanded Woodbury Farm Market’s offering in July, adding Donato’s Hydroponic House of Greens to the garden center greenhouse.

Joe Donato told Voices his interest in hydroponics came from, “our passion for growing, creating organic and pesticide-free greens, helping to preserve our earth, working green, extending our seasons, creating high quality products with the best taste and preserving the earth for future generations. This is a dream come true for us.”
