He settled on a farm in the town of Gates, west of Rochester, New York in 1849. Harris bought the Genesee Farmer from James Vick in 1856 and had a widely popular column called 'Walks and Talks on the Farm' in which he publicized the results from his experimental / seed farm. In 1863, Harris bought the 141-acre farm in Gates and named it Moreton Farm. In December 1865, Harris sold Genesee Farmer to Orange Judd & Company of New York, who merged it with the American Agriculturist. Harris continued his column. In 1879, he opened the Harris Seed Co. at Moreton Farm, published a 44-page catalog and sent out 30,000 copies. A year later he built his first seed house." - from an article published by the Victory Horticultural Library. Good .
