What Would you like to see...

Spring is here, or at least it feels like it here today in Michigan! That means we are starting the planning for new ideas for around the farm. What would you like to see? New attractions? Changes to Existing? Shows? Games? The sky is the limit and we want to know what our customers are looking for!!! Send us an email to tours@westvieworchards.com with your ideas!

Also, do not forget we are now accepting reservations for school tours, birthday parties, corporate events, company parties, and any other reason to celebrate! Please email tours@westvieworchards.com for pricing and information. OR as always visit us on our website at WestviewOrchards.com!

Here are some pictures from our trip to the North American Farmers Direct Marketing Association visit to the wonderful state of Georgia!

This was one of our stops around historic Savannah Georgia, they had a mix of all sorts of Fruits and Vegetables and Boiled Peanuts!

Here is Panorama Farm Market, an orchard in Northern Georgia that has breath taking views and a great place to get new ideas to help us make our markets more customer friendly!

A trip to Atlanta would not be complete without a visit to the Aquarium the largest in the World!!! This here is Nico showing off his dance moves for us at the Beluga whale exhibit!

Looking forward to see what you all want to see this year at the Orchard and until next time, keep warm and enjoy the spring time feelings we have today outside!!

Gearing Up for Spring!

Hope Everyone is enjoying the winter weather we have been dealt here in Michigan!
It has been a while since we have posted here to let you know what is going on, but we have had alot of things going on with the family and around the farm.

Abby was elected to the Washington Township Board as a trustee, she looks forward to working with the community and creating a better relationship between the residence and the board.

Grandma Kay passed away in December and we will all miss her dearly, we know she is in a better place watching over her orchards. We appreciate all the support the family received during this very difficult time.

The trees so far are braving all the cold rather well and hope to continue with that. We are looking for new ideas to add to Westview this season, so let us know what you want to see! Lots of ideas floating around our heads but we have to narrow it down to what our friends want to see. We just returned from a trip to the North American Farmers Direct Marketing Association Convention and Bus Tour, so we are bursting at the seams with new ideas! I will fill you in with pictures on our next post of the tour!
