Last of the snow...
The last snow in Glen Arbor. We have put a bucket of it in the freezer. Come up this summer and ask for a fresh cherry snow cone from the last of this winter's snow.
| Rain Orchard Crunch As the snow relinquishes to the rains of spring, celebrate! Think of a bear running through last year's leaves, and you'll hear why we named it Rain Orchard CRUNCH! When you taste this carmel corn with dried cherries, roasted almonds, and pecans you'll be reminded of all of the rejuvenating aspects of rain.... Rain Orchard Crunch, normally $8.50 on special for $7.50! |

Talking Small Town!
Next Wednesday, I am speaking to the Small Town and Rural Development Conference put on by the State of Michigan. I am speaking on internet sales. Any advice? I think that I was a little over eager on my acceptance when asked. I have to speak for 40 minutes, I don't know a thing about building web sites, eCommerce, or generating hits... It sure would help if I invite Jon, the web/art director who puts this Orchard Report together to join me. "Jon, while you are editing this OR, can I ask you a question-- do you want to come and speak with me? I'll buy lunch."
Edited to add: Sure Bob, I'd love for you to buy me lunch, but you'll have to do better than Chili Chocolate Covered Cherries....

What's happening in Glen Arbor? Here's some news that's right off the press:
My brother Mike is putting a very fun and lively putt putt golf course, called The River at Crystal Bend. More to come on that. Our mail order and winery manager Katy Wiesen and her husband Matt are opening a paint your own pottery business, Camp Fire Pottery. And finally, a new building. It will be the first new commercial construction in GA since the grandiose LeBear. Well, this is going to be LeBudget. It's right in the art district of GA, between the Glen Arbor Art Association building and Leelanau Coffee Roasters. Here is a peek---->
