Columbia-Montour Quarterly Vol. 13: July-September 2024

growing practices for the northeast region. Green’s is the only orchard in Pennsylvania to hold this honor. Very im- pressive and Happy 100th Anniversary, Green’s! When I visited the orchards, the peaches were in bloom, farm workers were busy pruning trees, and the bees were very busy! They would be great places for a field trip and to teach kids where their food comes from and how they are grown. The orchards have one magnificent thing in common. That is, the best thing that they grow are their children. Future farmers providing our region with fresh, healthy fruit for years to come. •
