USA Today catches up with Torch Lake Views
Unless you stumbled in here for the first time today, you know King’s is a great place to pick apples. (And cherries and raspberries and peaches and nectarines but I digress.) Last Thursday a story in the travel section of USA Today confirmed this wisdom, and even mentioned drumlins. This is all excellent news. We […]
Market report: Corn’s in! Done shakin’ cherries. Time to roast a peach.
August 21, 2009
Some people get tweets from their commodities traders. You get the FAQs board from King’s and the news heard at the Eastport Market. You are fortunate indeed. Local corn is coming in, and is it good. Bolts corn at the Eastport Market, Shooks corn at the little roadside stand on M-88, King corn at the […]
Business development is where you find it
August 2, 2009
A couple of weeks ago my friend Carol Park came up to visit. We had lunch at the Blue Pelican and then meandered back to Eastport along M-88, taking in the sights—and some apricots from King’s. In mid-July the markets are humming, and we contributed our share of buzz. Those are my cherries and raspberries […]
Goin’ for a ride, part 2: Update on U-pick at King Farm
July 9, 2009
One of the things I like about living here is that there is lots of good food and much of it grows where I am allowed to pick it. I am lazy, so I stopped off at King’s to buy some fruit that was already picked and washed. Betsy thought I should see what’s going […]
You never know what you’ll find in an old barn
May 25, 2009
While I was wandering around the King family’s orchards taking pictures of spring blossoms and swarming bees I ran into Betsy King, who was, as always, busy doing something. (If we could bottle Betsy we would have no need for imported oil.) On this particular occasion, she was clearing out the odds and ends that had accumulated […]
Didjenos and bank robbers – Mondays in Eastport are full of surprises
May 14, 2009
The Wilkinson Homestead Historical Society isn’t your average local history bunch. For one thing, it sponsors a summer lecture series that covers an amazing amount of local ground in very entertaining ways. Norton Bretz recruits the speakers, which probably explains the breadth of subject matter and the penchant for the piquant. This year’s lineup: June […]
