How did your business start?
We started another orchard in 2017. There was a small orchard on the property already but not large enough to share commercially. Each year we expand the orchard and get excited when we find a new variety of fruit to try.
What is your favourite part about selling at farmers markets?
Our favourite part about selling at the market is sharing what we have with those who don’t and watching customers try our fruit for their first time. Meeting a diversity of people is awesome and refreshing.
What is one piece of advice you would give to someone considering starting their own small business?
Anyone starting their own business must have a passion for whatever it is. Be patient and always hopeful and the rewards are there. Always ask questions from those already in the field and if possible work for them to get a better feel of how the business is run.
