Around the Farm - April 28th 2009
Spring has sprung and Fifer Orchards is diligently working to provide the highest quality fruits and veggies. This season we are celebrating 90 years as a family farming business.
Our "Around the Farm" Blog is designed to give you a sneak peak at the "behind the scenes" of our operation. Enjoy!
We are harvesting asparagus twice daily with the recent heat.
