We are Tgrateful every fall for the twenty-plus varieties that are provided during the peak of apple sea- son for our customers’ enjoyment! It was the cold wet winter of 1984 when Tim Bates and Karen Schmitt began taming the wild property that is now their apple farm. Today, more than 3 genera- tions join together to care for The Apple Farm and this family affair is one that is enjoyed by all! “Our years of working the farm led us from conventional practices, through transi- tion, and on to many years of being certified organic. We want to continue to evolve and have chosen biodynamic farming as a framework in which we can further de- velop our relationship with our farm. It is an endlessly fascinating endeavor and we are all energized by the new and old ideas that we unearth.” - from www.philoapplefarm.com Tim, Karen and family produce a wide variety of products beyond their apples. The delicious, delec- table apples that they grow later become apple syrup, apple cider vinegar and hard apple cider, to name a few.
