Ghent apple farm almost back from fire

Sep 02, 2015 12:03 am
Bob Gardinier in the Albany Times-Union tracks the return of Ghent's Love Apple Farm, after it was devasted by a barn fire in 2013. A fire-gutted produce stand and refrigerated storage facility with hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of destroyed apples has now led to a metal framework for a new structure to replace the 44-year-old former building. "We are pushing for a soft opening, hopefully later this year, and a ribbon-cutting maybe in the spring," manager Keith Bogdanovich said. Right now they don't have a kitchen to make cider doughnuts and pies, nor refrigriation for vegetables. The 80-acre farm has fields and orchards of apples, peaches, plums, strawberries, raspberries, melons, and tomatoes. They also have a small petting zoo. Read the full story in the Albany Times-Union.
