Why is it so important for you all to kind of stick together in this region as a whole?

You know, with us being this close-knit community of growers up here, we all work together.

And, you know, to the point where every single orchard on this strip and even on the other side of the county, they all help me plant these apple trees I just planted in March.

And so we kind of all have an understanding.

You know, what's good for other orchards is good for the entire community.

And so we work to help each other to make sure that... you know, things are as high quality as possible for the people that are coming to visit LLJ.

And we kind of sometimes plant our orchards looking at what the other orchards are growing so we can kind of supplement each other.

Tell me about all that was going on here.
