We wrapped up the U pick operation for this season with a great weekend. Perfect weather, great picking. πππ©
Michelle and I wanted to thank our great customers, the old and the new, for making memories in our orchard. π»ππ We're grateful for your support.
I took note this season of the many dads bringing their kids here for an orchard visit, often just dad alone with the kids. It's nice to see the dads show up.
β€οΈ I'm lucky to have a Dad like that. He shows up. For the past 20 years, since we turned the first dirt over on this ground, he's shown up. Planting trees, pounding fence posts, prying out rocks, putting up buildings, cleaning up brush, pond constructing, mowing, picking apples, manning the sales counter, and all the other stuff that goes with this little operation. Like I said, he shows up. Even when I say I don't need the help, he shows up. Then I realize I did need the help after all. At 85, he still showed up every day. Never late. Never Γ complaint. As usual. Thanks Dad! Take next weekend off!
πApples to continue on the stand as we pick the tops of the trees over the next week or two! π
