“I am the production manager, market manager, owner, broom pusher and cleaner-upper at the end of the day,” Matt Chandler said.
Chandler is the son of Jerry and Vyanne Chandler, the founders of the family owned farm and market in Fillmore.That humble beginning in 1975 has blossomed into a 52-acre operation with a variety of crops including strawberries, pumpkins and of course, apples. We’re talking in the ballpark of 50 varieties.
“Don't ask me to name them off top my head,” Chandler said. “Hands down the most popular apple variety is Honeycrisp. That variety has been out for about 30 years, and it's really taken off.”“Everybody wants a crisp, crunchy, apple,” Chandler said. “EverCrisp was the first apple that has really changed our business. It's a very sweet, well balanced apple that keeps exceptionally well in cold storage without any kind of altercation or additional input on our part.
“The thing I love most about being out here on the farm every day is that I'm in the sunshine, and there's days I'm in the rain, but I'm outside and I'm not stuck in a concrete box all day,” Chandler said. “It's just a dream and a passion and the roots run deep.”
