Twice this week I’ve heard stories of people referring to our orchard, Lapacek’s Orchard, as 'my’ orchard.  I can’t even tell you how happy this makes me to hear.

One story was of a shy little boy who is in school for the very first time and he heard his teacher saying they would be taking a field trip to Lapacek’s Orchard.  He blurted right out in front everyone, “That’s MY Orchard!” excited as can be to share the fun with his newly found friends.

The second was a friend of ours was at work and him and his co-workers were discussing apple orchards…  They go to a different orchards than ours and he said, “Oh, you have to check out my orchard!” and proceeded to tell them where we were located and all about what we offer.

These stories make me so happy to hear!  I love that what we’ve created out here on our apple orchard makes our customers feel as if they are a part of it – that’s just what we want!  I also truly believe that’s how we made it through the losses of last year and it’s what makes me happy to go to work everyday.  Without our amazing customers we wouldn’t be what we are.

What about our orchard makes you feel as if it is YOUR orchard? I would love to hear more stories!
