Dad as New Dad: Pure Joy One of many snapshots of old family photos I digitized the lazy way (with my mobile phone camera). As yesterday was the day my brother David passed away (1987) I am compelled to share this joyful photo of my Dad with his first child, likely in 1953 or 1954.

20231209-USDA-OSEC-CDP-0531 The Butler's Orchard Farm Market started under an apple tree behind the log house selling peaches. Later, it moved to a former chicken house that still stands on the property as a garage. The red barn was built in 1964 and over the years they increased the variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables they grew and sold. In the 1970’s, they began selling additional products in their Farm Market, including preserves, local honey, gourmet condiments, seasonal decorative items, cider, and more! In 1993, they outgrew their original red barn and expanded the Farm Market to the current facility that you can visit today. (USDA photo by Christophe Paul)
