Good morning from Comet, Star and Delilah. Excited to welcome you back to the farm 🍏🍎🫐
On behalf of my entire family, we want to thank everybody for the tremendous amount of support we have received since taking over Willowbrook Apple Farm in January of 2019. It has been an amazing adventure and we could not be more grateful that we got to be a part of this community. Oak Glen is a truly magical place and will always hold a special place in our hearts. We will miss all of you, our neighbors and friends, and the community that supported us along this journey.
We have made the decision to move on to our next adventure, and are so excited to be turning over Willowbrook Apple Farm to extremely capable hands. Goodie farm is a certified organic farm currently growing for the community on 6-acres of land in cherry valley. Their mission is to establish a rhythm with the land through a commitment to the organic process, sustainability, conservation, and biodiversity. Growing healthy, organic, diversified vegetables and herbs for the community and chefs has been the foundation of Goodie Farm, since its establishment in 2018 and remains their primary objective. They are an amazing family with big plans for Willowbrook Apple Farm, and I can’t wait to see everything they bring to the community. Thank you again for 4 wonderful years at Willowbrook! Love, The Driscolls
