Jerry Allen, of Calverton, remembers when there were lots of farms on Long Island. But now, only one duck farm remains. The farm had to get rid of all its ducks because of a bird flu outbreak. This made many people lose their jobs. To help the farm, people came to a fundraiser at a brewery. They raised $20,000 to support the farm and its employees. The farm has been around since 1908. The owner, Doug Corwin, wants to help his employees. He says the money raised will go directly to them. The farm hopes to start again by hatching new ducklings. There are some eggs waiting to hatch off-site. If they hatch, the farm can start over. But it will be a challenge. The future of the farm is uncertain. People like Fred and Lauren Pignataro came to support the farm. They want to keep Long Island's heritage alive. Long ago, there were many duck farms on Long Island. But over time, they disappeared. The farm owner is hopeful for the future. He believes he can restart the business. But for now, they are waiting for the eggs to hatch. The community is supporting the farm to keep a Long Island tradition alive. They want the duck farm to thrive again.
