Maurina Rowley of Cherry Hills Farms offers a form of agra-tourism. She lets the public come onto her farm and experience actual farm work. Last year, Cherry Hill had a harvest tour, this spring they had a blossom tour. So when the fruit comes on in the fall, people can come out and pick fruit.

“I think a lot of people go to the store and get their produce and they think that’s awesome and they take it home and ya know they eat it and move on with their life,” said Rowley.

 “But, until you come out to the farm you don’t understand what goes into growing an apple or growing a peach or a cherry. And all the stress and worry that goes into it. So this time of year is actually one of those times of year that tough. Because we will get really warm, the weather on the farm, and then it will get really cold and it's not good for our fruit. Especially if we reach a certain temperature.
