Just in time for me to wish all a Happy Thanksgiving the inspiration for a little something to go along with flowers comes winging in from Charlie Ruddell in Southern Oregon. While our wildly popular ‘Thanksgiving Bouquets’ are making their way to your table you can see that his hard work might well be gracing your dinner plate. Charlie and I met years ago in Chile as we scouted that country for agricultural opportunities. On the long drives back up the California/Oregon coastline from visiting flower farms I have stopped in to see how life in the bogs has been.
Having always promised myself a visit when the bogs are delivering their riches to Charlie…it has yet to happen, the visit that is. I think the riches may finally be arriving on the berry front given years of hard work and marketing efforts that culminated in artificial bogs in Manhattan on morning TV shows this past month. On the other hand he might just look happy because his harvest is completed and if he should only step out of his bogs he finds himself on Bandon Dunes…one of the top golf courses in the entire US. Enjoy your winter Charlie!
Hola Mark-
Here I am at midnight learning that I am now known in the Blog community. If I get a chance to get your way soon I’ll give you a call and I’ll stop by for a moment.
Thanks for the write up.
