Mrs. Metzgar and Ms. Ahearn's Class will be moseying on down to Windy Brow Farms on September 26th.
Windy Brow, named for its windy location on the brow of a ridge, was originally operated as a dairy farm in the late 1800s. The first fruit trees were planted by the Inslee family in 1920. When the original dairy barn was destroyed by fire in the 1940s, the Inslee’s decided to concentrate on fruit growing, and establish one of the first retail fruit farms in Sussex County. Many of the original trees are still bearing fruit today, and while the farm itself is smaller in size, we still grow over 50 varieties of apples, 15 varieties of peaches, sweet and tart cherries and a full array of vegetables.
