Within my Who Bought the Farm? Why Whine? post I say this:

The horseradish is a root essentially. It can grow as deep as two feet into the ground. In Tony Malinauskas’ private garden in Greenport, diggers make a circle around the plant while another drops to his knees and pulls away the loose soil. A big one was lifted. The smaller horseradish root has been dubbed the “hotter” root but others argue that the large roots are the hottest, especially the ones that
reach as far as two feet into the soil. Baskets full of the spicy root start making their way to a power washer as they start to come out of the of ground. Once the root has been cleaned thoroughly, it moves to the cutting block where it is skinned much like a carrot and then chopped by a group of 10 people. The official dicer receives the chopped pieces and chops the root into little pieces using a food processor. Then it’s time for mixing. The finished root is mixed with a small amount of water and run through a blender. And then it is run through a second blender where vinegar is added and the end result is nothing short of a spicy
delicacy.

Schmitt's Farmstand takes care of horseradish.

Schmitt's Farmstand ALSO deals with corn... SO... I just-thought to add this:

I so-honestly had difficulty downloading the Schmitt's Farmstand website link. I THINK that is due to the sound variation of SCHMITT -{ !!! }-

SO... Here's the powers that be of Schmitt's Farmstand's facebook account:
