Redwood
Orchards
Sunday June 26th found us at James and RuthAnne Krause's Redwood Orchards in Reedley, California. It was a wonderful turn out of customers and vendors that were treated to a delightful educational tour of Redwood Orchards. Jim's philosophy of only picking the most perfect of fruit pays off for his loyal customers. Look for Jim next to Olympia Baking Company on the southwest end of the market! |
