The farm Festival Committee appointed 2017 Grand Marshals

Denis and Carol Willebrandt, the harvest owner of the greenhouses, said they were approached by the Organizing Committee of the farm Festival, and they gladly accepted the forty-ninth Year Festival by the emcee. Denis’s daughter Ashley and nephew Joshua will represent the harvest landscape greenhouse on this eventful weekend.

At the Fredonia farm Festival, the emcee is selected from the relevant agricultural standards, solid business practices and community involvement. Their business started 33 years ago in the 4936 Avenue West, fredonia.

The farm where grapes and fruit trees were planted was bought in 1984. Denis and Carol started farming land and vineyards, the farm came to life. At that time, Denis was in Dunkirk to buy steel as well as the new family farm. Over the years, he planted a lot of crops for his own fruit and vegetable market, on the side of highway 20. Tomatoes, pumpkins, zucchini, peppers, corn, and so forth, and strawberries, are harvested on farms every year. The new crop is still in operation in his market and in the Clinton Bailey Farmers market in buffalo.

One year, Denis decided to plant some flowers for the ladies working on the farm. It wasn’t long before Denis realized he had so many plants that he didn’t know what to do. So he put them on farm stalls for sale.

They’re all sold out, and that’s where it all started.

For more than 30 years, the harvest landscape has served upscale garden centers and popular road stands in Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania. Dedicated, hardworking family members turn to small fruit and vegetable stands to a four acre greenhouse; 3.5 acres of outdoor autumn chrysanthemums, which are a little closer to 50000 mum; and eight acres of pumpkins and gourds decorated. The family is really the main force and heart surgery rhythm, without them, these two branches will not succeed, this is today.

“Many of our different garden centers are a middleman we haven’t dealt with,” says Willebrandts. “Our entire production line, wholesale or retail, is developed on premise, so that we can maintain competitive costs for our customers.”The wholesale department is made up of annuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs, potted plants, baskets, flower bags, decorative containers and autumn chrysanthemums. The retail department is a combination of annuals, perennials, herbs, potted crops, baskets, flower bags and decorative containers. It also offers autumn moms, hay / straw packs, corn stalks, apples, unique garden accessories, topsoil, potting soil and more.

In the past five years, the Grand Admirals have promoted the “taste of spring” in March by working with other local companies, displaying unique marketing methods. The event is selling fast, and is limited to the first 150 tickets purchased. Activities include tastings, desserts, appetizers, and, of course, plants. The guests provide plant varieties for the upcoming spring season. Harvest views will be planted in containers until mother’s day a week, when guests will take home their custom containers to enjoy the whole summer. The community was invited to wholesale halloween costumes for the special event.

Harvest views are active in community participation. This is the lake on the retirement home in the summer holiday of St. Columban long-term writer. It works in the beautification of Freedonia, every spring is also very active. Provide fundraising opportunities for local schools, for-profit and not-for-profit clubs, and Rotary Club fundraising events.

Local participation is not only good for sales, but it can also invest money in local businesses.

The harvest concept focuses on the future. Keeping and maintaining quality products has always been the motto of Denis.

“If we continue to do so, business will grow,” he said. “Over the past few years, we have increased affordable indoor and outdoor fall events for families of all ages.”The new event to autumn we include weekend hay antenna wagon to pumpkin patch to pick their own pumpkin, pumpkin painting, Halloween Costume Contest in Pyramid, hay and slides, indoor haunted hay maze and more.

The staff have been busy building and painting this summer, so we are excited about the fall.  We want you to come out and see what we’ve been doing.”

Harvest ideas look forward to years of community partners, and thank you for the opportunity to organize the Fredonia farm festival in 2017 major groups.
