About Bill
Bill grows apples, cherries, and peaches (some of the best mother nature has to offer), Bill is committed to providing customers with a great product, preserving the land for others and adhering to the principles of integrated pest managment (a strategy that focuses on long-term prevention or suppression of pest problems with minimum impact on human health, the environment, and non-target organisms).
About the Farm
As someone who is always “looking make it better”, Bill expanded his fruit growing sales a few years ago by selling fresh fruit at a small roadside stand. The stand has grown a bit in size and moved from its original location. He has added some fresh from the garden vegetables as well as peach or cherry based products – chocolate and yogurt covered dried cherries, distinctive jams and salsas to the offerings at the roadside stand. The next, natural step has been to add a website and offer some of those same products to customers year round via the Internet.
Please feel free to drop Bill a note: how can we improve your shopping experience? how can we serve you better at the fruit stand?
