Apple Tree Farms Named a "Legacy Farm" By Harlan County Farm Bureau

Harlan County Farm Bureau (HCFB) recently announced that Apple Tree Farms has been named a “Legacy Farm” by Harlan County Farm Bureau. Apple Tree Farms was recognized as a “Legacy Farm” for their long-standing commitment to farming, contributions to the local community, and involvement in HCFB. The Legacy Farm designation created by Kentucky Farm Bureau is awarded to farm families who have demonstrated a commitment to agriculture and the strengthening of rural communities. Apple Tree Farms has been active in production agriculture since 1989. Today, the farm is run by Terry and Gwen Creech and Marcus and Whitney Creech and produces apples. “We want to show farmers across Harlan County that we appreciate their hard work and dedication. Without Harlan farmers, we would not be where we are today,” said Dustin Miniard, President of Harlan County Farm Bureau. “Apple Tree Farms is certainly worthy of this designation. Thank you, Apple Tree Farms, for your many years of commitment to Harlan County Farm Bureau and Kentucky agriculture.
