Their hard work and dedication to the land built a farming legacy that has spanned generationsCurrent owner Avard Bishop and his wife Sandy took over the farm in 1955. 20 years later, he brought his two eldest sons, Andrew and Stirling into the family business. The family has worked hard to perfect the art of apple growing, which continues to be their main crop. Over the years, production has expanded to include numerous other fruits and crops, a farm market, a dairy unit and modern storage facilities.
