Geneva, NY – (Oct 14, 2013) – Red Jacket Orchards, a Finger Lakes icon since 1958 announces a Grand Re-opening Celebration for Saturday, November 2 on the farm in Geneva, NY.
Red Jacket Orchards, a third-generation family owned orchard has been farming the surrounding hillsides of Seneca Lake for over 5 decades. Along with signature fruit and award winning fresh juice produced at the orchards, the retail location (on historic routes 5&20) features the largest selection of Finger Lakes specialties.
“We saw a great opportunity to update and enhance the retail experience for our customers,” commented Brian Nicholson, one of the family members. “The food movement has evolved so quickly; our brand has evolved and grown; the Finger Lakes is now a destination -- and we are an integral part.”
The Grand Re-opening festivities will include free events for kids and adults including: face painting, Alpaca petting, coloring contests, wine and hard cider tastings, and live music by family favorite “East Hill Classic Jazz Quartet” with Johnny Russo. Enjoy samplings from local food purveyors and fresh smoked BBQ pork sliders from Bodstrom Farms. Best of all Red Jacket is saying thanks for 55 great years with 10% off of all purchases all day long.
“We’re always adding the best locally made, purest products and quality crafted items from this dynamic area.” commented Tracey Dello Stritto the Direct to Consumer Manager. “Keep an eye out as we constantly add new, seasonal products, online offerings and services including educational tours.”
Red Jacket has garnered national media attention, including Zagat Gourmet Food Guide (“Best-On-The-Planet” rating) and New York Magazine dubbing juices “an uncut jolt to the brain.” Other reviews include Gourmet Magazine, The New York Times, Martha Stewart’s “American Made,” Phil Lempert The Super Market Guru, Café Mom “The Stir” and more.
