Expansion 2005
|
|
After three years of planning, Bishop’s Orchards has broken ground for the new addition and renovation that will add a total of 7000 square feet to the existing building, 2000 Sq. ft. to be dedicated directly to the retail market sales area. The construction started in late February and we are anticipating completion of the main retail area by late summer 2005. The addition will ease the shortage of space in many different areas of our growing company. The addition includes expanded bakery, retail, refrigeration, freezer and office space. Over the past 10 years Bishop’s has increased product lines and selections to better serve their customers. With the new health and diet trends, and increasing requests for certain products by customers, this new space will allow Bishop’s to provide for and address these new demands. The changes will not alter the emphasis on the products we grow. We are here, because of our roots, and the crops we grow. Our ability to keep 300 acres in farming, in Connecticut, is because of our ability to market direct to the consumer. Bishop’s is dedicated to serving their customers with the highest satisfaction and quality that they always have since 1871. The goal through this entire project is to accommodate the customers first. You are encouraged to stop by often during this construction to see the changes that will be occurring over the next several months. Your questions and comments are encouraged. Architectural plans are on display near the checkouts for your review. Efforts are being made by all our staff to keep daily operations flowing smoothly, with minimal customer disruptions. Bishop’s is pleased to support two local businesses during this
expansion. The architects who have designed this beautiful building
plan for Bishop’s are from John A. Matthews A.I.A. Architecture
and Planning in Madison, CT. The Munger Construction Company in Branford,
CT is building the addition and renovation. We look forward to your continued support and patronage as "We
Grow so You Grow." Thank you. |

Our farm market in Guilford is open year-round with one or more of our crops available each month of the year. Our "big red apple" is a landmark known to many from near and far. We grow many crops our 320 acres farm, 300 acres of which is owned by our family farm corporation. |
