"Your Kitchen Away from Home" Peter Zorn arrived from Germany in the mid l920's and in l940 purchased 10 acres of farm land to raise and sell poultry. Currently, his son Joseph and four of his children manage the Bethpage and two other stores located in Bellmore and East Meadow. The Bethpage store remains on four of the original ten acres and sells mostly ready-to-eat poultry along with lunches from an expanded deli department. The store employs 60 full and part time workers.
Best remembered by the children for their "farm petting zoo"! It was just there - for all the children to enjoy!
