WE WILL NOT OPEN ON FRIDAY, MAY 15th,
as previously posted on FB.

Our donut machine won't run without a small unique spring that has failed.

We expect the arrival of the part next week in time for us to open on Friday, the 22nd.

We're sorry for any inconvenience that this delay may have caused.

The Winnebago county Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) is scheduled to hear arguments on a proposed solar cell farm adjacent to our orchard.

We strongly oppose such a land use next to our orchard. An 8’ cyclone fence with thousands of solar cells next to our property would destroy the warm, welcoming rural atmosphere of our orchard that our friends & customers have come to appreciate. It would have a devastating impact on our orchard.

If you feel the same, and your schedule permits, you are welcome to show your support by attending the ZBA meeting on Wednesday, May 13, at 5:30 in Room 303, County Administration Building, 404 Elm St, Rockford. Thank you!
