ONCE UPON A TIME…

It all started with a date. Justin & Rachel Sonoma County when they first began dating in 2008 & intuitively felt that one day they would return with their family. Eight years later, two kids in tow, they stumbled upon an apple farm. And the rest is history…

Aidan & Adeline (aka: A&A)

We named the apple farm after these two. They're always getting their hands dirty, discovering something new & excited to share it with you. (Disclaimer: It could be anything....) As the farm has been expanding, so have the kids’ interests. See below:

AIDAN (AKA: BEE BOY)

This eight-year-old kid was born to be a beekeeper. Follow him for all his bee adventures here.

Adeline (aka: ADdy)

She is our overall animal whisperer. She seems to have the kitties, pup, & goats wrapped around her cute little finger.

Justin (AKA: Daddy-o)

He doesn't like to admit it, but he's our in-house Chef (capital C, yo). Cooking is his art so he really can't help himself, much to our delight. Come over for dinner, won’t you?

Rachel (AKA : mama Bear)

This Mama Bear has her hands in many honey pots. They call her the family CIO (Chief Inspiration Officer), because she’s always got something new for herself & the gang to do.

2012 visit to Vermont. Inspiration for creating a farm of our own!
