The ebony soil is so rich and unique as to be an anomaly. In some areas the soil is comprised of up to 90 percent organic matter, considered by some to be “one great big compost heap,” from both the glacial lake and repeated flooding of the Wallkill River, and can go as deep as 30 feet. More mastodons have been unearthed here than anywhere else on Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough only just over an hour’s drive from Manhattan, the black dirt spans more than 5,500 acres, and produces over half of the onions grown in New York as well as some of the best sod, pumpkins, and corn in the country, not to mention herbs, lettuce, and other greens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/2338\/1151\/files\/Still_spirit_safes-1024x682_480x480.jpg?v=1672947394\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2013 the construction of a 4,000 square foot distillery along with a 60 foot distillation column was completed in Pine Island, NY, and the new distillery will be able to produce twenty times the amount of past production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/2338\/1151\/files\/JK-JGdistillery_byRBreese-682x1024_480x480.jpg?v=1672947424\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Black Dirt Distillery expands upon the years of experience in both distillation and marketing that co-founders and managing partners Jason Grizzanti (right) and Jeremy Kidde (left) have accumulated.
