New Haven, CT (WTNH) – When you think of Bishop’s Orchards Farm in Guilford, you usually think of kids picking apples or choosing pumpkins and buying great things to eat.

But, don’t worry – it’s fine to bring the kids along, too.
CT Style Host Natasha Lubczenko met with Bishop’s Farms Chief Operating Officer, and 6th generation “Bishop,” Sarah DellaVentura, who had lots to share about all of the activities taking place, in celebration of 151 years of serving the community.
