This is Lynndon, the cheerful foreman of Lakelee Orchards…so nice to see him again
“MARJORIE, here is some good news on this dark day”
“We need good news…the world is desperate for it.”
“We’ll pull over at the Jordan exit…we’ll take the South Service Road … get a load of peaches…the free stone kind.”
“Hi…how much are the peaches this year?”
“$25 a box for the Number 1 kind”
“How heavy is the box? “
“Too heavy for you to carry….I’ll take them to the car from the cold room.”
“:What else is ready for us?”
“Nectarenes at $5 a plastic pack…ready to eat now.”
“Any plums?”
“Sure…$5 as well .”
I do not know how much money we saved…probably a few bucks on the peaches. But the greeting was sincere
and it was nice to get fruit directly from the source. And nice to see Linnden once again.
(Directions… Take QEW from Toronto to Jordan exit…then South Service Road which weaves a bit for a couple of miles
until you see the Lakelee Orchard buildings up a hill on your right…make immediate right
turn then drive in the lane and park where it seems reasonable. Do it now. Peach season
is short.)
