SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FARM AND UNITED WAY – ON LINE!

Final Scoring - Everyone Wins!

The farmers came through in a big way!!

Jones Family Farms of Shelton won the ‘friendly Facebook challenge’ by signing up 1,195 more Facebook fans than Bishop’s Orchards of Guilford during the month long contest.  

As a result, Keith Bishop, owner of Bishop’s Orchard, joined the crew of Jones Tree Farm to work with their staff in bailing beautiful Christmas trees.  He was ‘allowed’ to take a break from his work and join Terry and Jamie Jones to present the Guilford Community Fund, Valley United Way and Working Lands Alliance their share of the bounty!

Keith Padin, Terry Jones, and Jamie Jones  - a high tech group of farmers with many new friends!

Keith Padin, marketing manager for Jones, announced the breakdown of the tally:

·        Jones had 1,119 fans when the competition began and got 4,687 new people to sign up, for a total of 5,806 fans.

·        Bishop’s started with 1,437 people and got 3,492 new fans, for a total of 4,929.
