Hick's Orchard - Leveraging Social Media to Help Fulfill Their Mission
Laura McDermott, Team Leader, Small Fruit and Vegetable Specialist
Eastern New York Commercial Horticulture
Hick's Orchard is located in Granville, NY just a few miles from the Vermont border. The slate industry may have first put this little village on the map, but Hick's Orchard is what many people think of when they hear Granville. The orchard opened their gates to U-Pick in 1905 and is recognized as the oldest U-Pick farm in New York State. In its 117 years of operation, the 350-acre farm has been owned and operated by just two families. The Wilson family currently owns Hicks Orchard and Dan Wilson is the 2nd generation of the Wilson family to work towards the farm's mission, 'Grow Food to Build Community'.
