 IN THE EARLY 1900'S THE IRONS FAMILY DID GENERAL FARMING. THE SECOND GENERATION BEGAN GROWING POTATOES & APPLES. THE FIRST ORCHARDS WERE PLANTED IN THE LATE 1930'S; THE FIRST APPLE CROP WAS SOLD IN THE EARLY 40'S. CIDER WAS MADE & SOLD ALSO. SOON, A LARGE COLD STORAGE WAS BUILT, & A LARGE HORSE BARN WAS TRANSFORMED INTO A SALESROOM (WHICH IS STILL IN USE TODAY).

 THE THIRD GENERATION BEGAN GROWING STRAWBERRIES, TART CHERRIES, PEACHES, PUMPKINS, & VEGETABLES, LATER FOLLOWED BY BLUEBERRIES, BLACKBERRIES, & RASPBERRIES. A SEASONAL BAKERY & A GIFT ROOM HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE MARKET. THE FOURTH GENERATION MAKES CIDER IN A MODERN MILL, WHICH IS ALSO USED AS A CANNERY FOR OUR APPLE BUTTER, JAMS, & JELLIES

 A GREENHOUSE WAS BUILT IN '99 ALLOWING US TO GROW & SELL BEDDING & VEGETABLE PLANTS IN THE SPRING.
