Sorbello and Sons

Our Story began when Mariano Sorbello left Catania, Italy and arrived at Ellis Island, New York City , in 1923 after serving in WWI. He married Rose Greco and moved upstate to the beautiful rolling countryside of Granby; situated near Lake Ontario on the Oswego River. Mario began his new life share-cropping 15 acres of low-lying, dark, rich, organi... c muck soil. Muck is the soil left behind from receding waters that formed Lake Ontario after the Ice Age. He grew hardy, pungent, northern yellow onions that could store all winter. Mario handed the business to his son Morris in 1971. Morris, with his young twin sons, David and Dana, increased the farm to approximately 70 acres. In 1987, Morris, David and Dana formed the corporation of Sorbello and Sons, Inc. Through much hard work and determination, David and Dana have grown the business together. Currently, Davids sons, Dylan and Rane, are 4th generation farmers (and 5th growing strong). With as much enthusiasm as past generations, theyve helped their father and uncle advance technologically to meet their high standards. Sorbello and Sons has expanded to 60,000 square feet of onion storage and packing facility to handle 375 acres of onions. All onions are stored in 20-bushel wooden boxes and are available from September 1st through April 15th. In addition, 400 acres of soybeans are grown.Read More
