Before the opening of its 71st season, Butler’s made several renovations, including paving its gravel parking lot.  “After decades of thought, the farm market was finally paved to create a better experience for our customers.  Delicate peaches and bumpy grocery carts just don’t go well together,” said Butler’s. Butler’s also rebuilt and completely replaced the north end of the market, which now matches the original build from 1960.

About the Farm Market, courtesy butlersorchard.com:
Our Farm Market started under an apple tree behind the log house selling peaches. Later, it moved to a former chicken house that still stands on the property as a garage. The red barn was built in 1964 and over the years we increased the variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables we grew and sold. In the 1970’s, we began selling additional products in our Farm Market, including preserves, local honey, gourmet condiments, seasonal decorative items, cider, and more! In 1993, we outgrew our original red barn and expanded the Farm Market to the current facility that you can visit today.

In January, Susan Butler, daughter of Butler’s founders George and Shirley Butler, passed away.
