A farmer and visionary, Ken Engle, owner/operator of Engle Ridge Farm carries on 60-year old tradition of producing superior fruit products by being one of the first growers in the United States of the delicious Balaton Cherry.

But KenÕs vision is much bigger than protecting the family farm and providing a superior, unique cherry productÉits about connections and community. Reminiscent of thanking your neighbor with a fresh baked cherry pie or bringing homemade preserves to a local farm meeting, Ken Engle wants to help create connections between people to build a greater sense of community.

"WeÕre very excited to bring you a full line of Balaton cherry products," says Ken Engle. "This is part of the thought we had when we planted these unique trees seven years ago. We want to provide people with preserves, pie filling and cherry butter that is full of cherries and tastes homemade Ð just the way Grandma used to make."
