  • Choosing the Perfect Apple

    Sixty Seconds with Judi Okay I must admit it, I am an apple snob! Yup, that’s right- I have said it out loud for all to hear “I am an apple Snob”!  With so many fresh apple varieties to choose from here on the farm, I can honestly say I will snub the generic bagged

  • It’s here!

    Sixty Seconds with Judi I want to scream it from the hill tops- “Pumpkinland opens this Saturday”! My friends ask me all the time if I am ready for this, as if it were something to fear. I should tell you Pumpkinland is what we live for here at Linvilla Orchards! Nothing excites us more.

    Sixty Seconds with Judi As summer comes to her final weeks, we are blessed with what I think may be the best, most versatile fruit of all; the tomato! You can pluck them off the vine and eat them warm in the summer sun. Grab some good bread, a little mayo and salt and pepper

  • What do I do with those Kids?

    Sixty Seconds with Judi Yes, summer has arrived! The kids are out of school and now it’s up to you to become their social organizer, their camp councilor and their cruise director!

  • Feeling Buggy

    Sixty Seconds with Judi This weekend I went down the shore with my husband. We sat outside by a beautiful campfire enjoying the evening. It was a comfortable temperature not too hot, perfect little breeze, just a lovely evening; until I became a banquet for every bug in existence. Can someone please explain to me
