Alfonzo Romero relaxes with his family outside his home at Hudson Valley Foie Gras in Ferndale, New York on October 11, 2008. The company provides free housing to some of its employees, particularly to those who work shifts around the clock force-feeding the ducks. Romero, originally from Puebla, came to the United States walking across the border, arriving in Ferndale to become one of the original four employees who started building the factory farm in 1989. His family has since joined him, the factory now employs about 120 workers (many from Puebla) and thus a small, isolated Mexican community flourishes in the Catskills. After twenty years living in the United States, Romero still does not speak any English.
