“Hi, my name is Jill Werner. I live in Oroville, Washington and we grow apples, cherries, and pears. So I was born into this. I am the fourth generation. Things fall apart, I can get on a forklift. I can run the cherry train, I can load a semi. So growing up on the farm we always had jobs to do. Back when we were growing up we didn’t have permanent irrigation like we had now it was hoses. And we used to with my sisters and I, we used to change irrigation on the old Honda 90. One of us would drive it and the other one would sit behind and we grabbed the loop and we count one two three trees and drop the hose and make a loop round. So it made a chore a really fun job because we got to drive the Honda 90 and it was awesome.”

“Hi, my name is Jill Werner, I live in Oroville, Washington and we grow apples, cherries, and pears. So when I was at WSU back in the day when we just had red and golden delicious, I would take apples, golden delicious, which are the best cooking apple out there, even still. I had a hot pad and a big old pot that I got out of the dorm kitchen and I made myself a big old pot of applesauce and it’s cooking away in the dorm and and by the time it was done I literally had a line of ladies out my door with bowls waiting for fresh applesauce and it like was gone like that! The whole pot!”
