Reason #10

Why I enjoy running the blueberry farm
My customers become my friends.

One of my favorite you-pick customers was at the farm this morning with his wife and granddaughter. Here's how his greeting goes. 

Customer: Hi Amy. How are you today?
Amy: Fine. How about you?
Customer: It's too early in the day. I haven't decided yet.

At least, that's how the conversation went the first year. After he visited the farm a few times, I remembered his line and no longer inquired about his health. This morning he asked me twice how I was. I suppose I should have been polite and asked him how he was doing--but I already knew the answer. 

A berry as big as a quarter
