Hello,

 My name is Farmer Joe and at Great Lakes Farms I am "The Apple Guy".

 My family and I  grow 13 delicious varieties of apples on our farm.

 I know it is a lot of fun to pick apples in the fall time, but apple farmers are busy in the orchard all year. Right now we are counting baby apples to make sure each tree has the right amount. If there are to many we need to take some off otherwise they wont grow properly.

We will not have a 2014 peach crop this year. The winter was so cold it killed all the peach buds at our farm and surrounding area. The trees are a bit hurt from the cold as well. I hope a little TLC will put them on the right path to a great 2015 crop.

 Below is a list of our exciting events for 2014. We are also brainstorming ideas for a new attraction. If you have any ideas please send them to us through e-mail, facebook or twitter.

Thanks,

Farmer Joe
