PUMPKIN SEASON LEADING TO HALLOWEEN
IS NOW IN BLOOM. ALTHOUGH PEACHES AND
OTHER PRODUCE ARE OUT OF SEASON, YOU
CAN FULFILL YOUR HALLOWEEN WHIMS WITH
JACK O"LANTERN PUMPKINS, GOURDS AND
NECK PUMPKINS.
HOURS OF SERVICE WILL BE FROM
9:00AM T0 5:00PM OVER THE NEXT
FOUR WEEKENDS STARTING WITH
SAT. SEPT. 29TH AND SUN. SEPT. 30
WE ALSO HEARD THAT
MRS. ROGER GOGLE Jr.
HAS GIVEN OUT TIPS AND RECIPES ON THE
PRODUCTS THEY SELL IN SEASON.
GOGLE FARMS IS LOCATED AT 5017 MULBERRY St., IN NORTH WHITEHALL TWSP., WITH POSTAL SERVICE FROM COPLAY, PA 18037. IT IS 1.8 MILES WEST OF ROUTE 145 ON CLEARVIEW ROAD WHERE IT MEETS MULBERRY St. TURN RIGHT ON MULBERRY TO DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE. WE STOPPED BY IN AUGUST AND ENJOYED LARGE AND DELICIOUS PEACHES. SORRY TO SAY THAT WHEN WE VISITED AGAIN ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND, THEY HAD SOLD OUT ON EVERYTHING. GREAT FOR THEM, BUT A SAD DAY FOR US. WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR. WE PLAN ON SHOPPING EARLY AND WON'T GET CAUGHT WITH OUR PANTS DOWN AT THE END OF THE SEASON.
TO REACH FARM FROM ROUTE 329 AT
BALLIETSVILLE AND NUSS TRAILER COURT;
TURN ONTO COURT St. FOR .2 MILE, MERGE
ONTO CLEARVIEW TO THE RIGHT AND
CONTINUE FOR 1.5 MILES TO MULBERRY St.
TURN LEFT TO DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE.
BACK IN 1969, OCT. 29th TO BE EXACT, WE ENTERED THE POSTAL SERVICE AT COPLAY AND BECAME ACQUAINTED WITH ALLEN GOGLE. HE WAS THE SUBSTITUTE RURAL CARRIER FOR EARL LYNN. HE IS A GREAT GRANDFATHER, GRANDFATHER AND FATHER TO THE GOGLE CLAN THAT NOW IS OPERATIMG THE GOGLE FARMS BUSINESS. HE WAS A HARD WORKING, RELIABLE INDIVIDUAL THAT I WAS PRIVILEGED TO WORK WITH UNTIL ABOUT 1970. HE LOVED TO TALK AND I LOVED TO LISTEN TO HIM. GOOD OLD PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH LOGIC. AT LEAST I STILL HAVE MEMORIES OF THE SOUND OF HIS VOICE. I HOPE HIS FAMILY SHARES THE SAME VALUES THAT I DO WHEN I SPEAK OF HIM. HE NOW RESTS IN PEACE IN A BETTER PLACE.
WE BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL FIND THE FOLKS AT GOGLE FARMS FRIENDLY AND ACCOMMODATING. VISIT THEM BEFORE ALL THE PUMPKINS ARE GONE AND TARGET NEXT JULY OR SO FOR PEACHES, APRICOTS, PLUMS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF APPLES BEING AVAILABLE ALSO.
WE ARE POSTING THIS IN MEMORY OF ALLEN GOGLE AND AS A PUBLIC SERVICE. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
GOD BLESS,
FRANK AND ANN D.
