Having grown up in Guilford, there are just some things that have always been there, and you just associate with the town. The Green,The Stone House, Faulkner’s Island, and Bishop’s Orchards. Since 1871, the Bishop family has been providing the town with best, and freshest produce available. Reason being, if it’s in season, it is grown by the Bishops. Six generations of Bishop’s have and will be involved with the business. This is remarkable in itself, as very few family businesses make past the second generation, let alone a third.
But, when it’s fall, you mind thinks of apples, pumpkins and pies. Lots of pies. Not only can you get all of this at Bishop’s, but many other gourmet items such as breads, meats, prepared dishes, cheese,and desserts are also available. And since it’s fall, Bishop’s make sure that it is not just another trip to any farm market. As has been the tradition, they have set up the giant hay bale maze, make your own scarecrow, and of course, the pumpkin patch. For the next two weeks, Bishop’s will also have special Halloween events
The first will be a Haunted Halloween Storytelling hour featuring special guest reader, and local childrens book author Laura Vescovi. this event will be at 4Pm, and will run til 5PM. Just show up at the pumpkin patch in the Hay Pen.
Then, on October 28th, from 4PM til 5PM, the Halloween parade will be what’s going on. This is open to kids, and those adventurous adults to. Over $500 in prizes are to be had. From such great area merchants as The Purple Bear,Yolo Boutique, Comfort Keepers,Xtreme Fitness, and of course, Bishop’s Orchards. Snacks and goodies will be served to participants. And don’t forget to pick up the apple cider, and of course, an apple pie for dessert. Make it two pies. One for you, and a peach pie for the crew at Shorelineoutandabout.com. You can drop it off at 87 Whitfield Street, 2nd floor…….
