It was raining on the way home today so I stopped by Nourse Farm to see how Nate was doing. He said business was good, having suffered none of the ill effects of the hurricane and flood waters last fall, the effects of the Halloween snow storm or any of the freezes of budding fruit plants of this spring.  The center of the country has not been so fortunate he says (pictured) and there will be a lack of local apples and peaches especially in the Great Lakes region.
