Maude Bell (1880 - 1975) and husband William Bell (1875 - 1941) married in the late 1800's. They became parents to a son Norman and adopted daughter Fanny. They lived along the tow path of the Genesee Valley Canal just off of Fay Hollow Road in Hinsdale, New York. In the first part of the 1900's they grew a variety of vegetables in their garden and sold them at the local farmer's market. One of Maude's best known products was her prepared horseradish that she sold to the locals in Hinsdale and Olean. It has been said that her horseradish was so popular she could not keep up with the demand. After her death, there was no longer locally grown and processed horseradish in the area. Keeping with Maude's tradition, Fat Root, LLC began operations in 2014. The company now is growing horseradish along the historic Genesee Valley Canal in Hinsdale. We are producing prepared horseradish known as "Maude Bell's Prepared Horseradish". We also have root stock available that horseradish lovers can grown and process at home.

Some of Maude Bell's descendants stopped by the Hinsdale Horseradish Festival last year to visit and share some history with us, and snap a quick picture with the Fat Root guys.
