“What a wonderful multi-generational small business hidden back off the road! The sign is warn and a testament to how long they have been in business. Knowledgeable and wonderful people own and run this business. No fuss location with apples, pears, honey, cider, pumpkins, squash and other goodies. Don't let it's comfortably time worn appearance hide what goodies wait inside. Many wonderful types of apples to purchase, from honeycrisp to cortlands. Buy by the bag or 1/2 bushel, etc. Smaller parking area so pull back with caution and please be courageous when you park so as many cars as possible can park as well. Bring cash. Definitely worth stopping in!”
