EDEN, N.Y. (WKBW) — It takes dozens of helping hands and a positive attitude to pick up the pieces of Mammoser Farms after a tornado swept through Eden.
"A whirlwind, literally," said Catherine Mammoser, whose father runs the farm.
It's a business he's spent years building and it was destroyed in a matter of minutes.
The drone video below shows the destruction of the farm.
"Everything you worked for. We had it pretty good here. Pretty good shape, pretty nice and here it is in shambles, but we'll put it back," said Donald Mammoser.
They're working to remove the pieces of the barn from their equipment and pouring fresh concrete for a new barn.
"Because there was wooden walls here before and they're all destroyed. So we're going the next step with concrete and hopefully this doesn't happen again," said Donald.
With no roofs on their barns, cows are getting wet every time it rains.
When we spoke to Catherine and Donald the day the tornado hit, they told 7 News it would be their second time rebuilding after they lost barns that were damaged from Snowvember in 2014.
All of this, while trying to keep the business running. They're looking at a five-year process to get back to where they were.
"We pull it all together, everybody helps, the community's been great, a lot of friends, family, people I don't even know. A lot of support," said Donald.
People came by offering helping hands, food, water and donations. And they already want to donate that back to first responders and local organizations like 4-H.
"They're all part of it too," said Donald.
The community is still rallying to help, here's how you can support.
