Farlow's Apple Orchard

Farlow's Apple Orchard

Fall is the busiest time of year on their farm.

New this morning, i'm sharing the inspiring story of my distant relatives who are continuing a family tradition... no matter the circumstances.

(it'll be eight dollars, cash register opens( every day during the fall season, this... (nat sound( is what you'll hear.

It's the sound of bob taylor and his wife debra running their family apple orchard, debbie- "in 1848 my great grandfather, lindy farlow, bought this 80 acres" the original 80 acres had no apple trees on the property.

But the farlow family decided to plant some.... now, 172 years later, (this is what the property looks likes.

Open land full of a pple trees and there's event a pumpkin patch... and if you step inside... bob- "we don't t no rotten apples go in our cider" you'll see their homemade apple cider that bob makes at the farm.

Bob- "our cider is 100% natural.

There's no preservatives and no pasteurization.

We can only sell it here" and exactly what the taylor's do.

They sell cider.

However, this year the family was given some devastating news..

Bob "i've bee very fortunate.

I haven't been sick, but i've been weak, but i haven't been sick" bob was diagnosed with cancer and has been under going chemo while continuing to run the family apple orchard.

It was news nobody was ready to hear... debbie "right now he's doing really well.

The chemo is working but he's awfully tired.... but he's still working" (nat of bob on tractor( bob - "i really love the business."

While bob continues to battle cancer, he plans to keep doing what he loves...... and that's running his family apple orchard for everyone to enjoy.

Bob- "i love the people that come out here... all of them are very nice.

Loving people."

So until bob and debra decide what's next for the family apple orchardcontinue to hear this.... (nat sound( "thank you, take care" every fall season.
