Tim Field, the second generation in his family to oversee, operate and farm the township-owned orchard, said the new additions are needed.

He, and the community and patrons who come out to carry on the pick-your-own tradition each season, will see the literal fruits of his labor in about three years. Planning is everything at the orchard.

Field has been working to bring new events and offering to Styer Orchard since signing a new operation contract with the township in 2021. He has renovated the store on site and brought other special events in, like last summer's pick-your-own sunflower fields.
