## Resource

Happy Apple Farm in Penrose is opening this Saturday—no apples to pick, thanks to a brutal early April freeze that killed the blossoms. It’s the second straight year of total apple crop loss in 42 years under the Ferrara family. Though financially tough, the farm’s diversified offerings like hayrides, pet-friendly events, and a country store keep it running—and they’re already planning for pumpkins in September. Insurance doesn’t cover everything, and smudge pots couldn’t save the blossoms that night. Still, Tony Ferrara stays hopeful, driven by the joy he brings families—even without apples.
