UPDATE: ST. JOHNS - As told by the owner of Andy T's farm, Andy Todosciuk:

"I grew up on a little farm, my dad owns a machine shop so I worked there too. But we always farmed this 20 acre field.

Then we bought this property that we are at now in 1986 and the rest is history.

The produce doesn't get picked by a machine, its' got to be picked by hand. Then, the quality of the picking is very important.

We're a vegetable farm, so picking sweet corn, we pick that every morning. And basically we have a harvest aide which is a conveyer belt. And we walk behind the harvest aide and we throw corn in the belt. It goes up to the wagon and we bag it, we put 60 ears in a bag.

Today is a normal picking day, we're finishing one patch and tomorrow morning we'll start a new patch of corn. And we'll be in that for ten days to two weeks.

We branded our corn. So, the smart retailers are calling it Andy T's gourmet sweet corn. And when they see that they know that it's going to taste good and that it's going to be fresh.

Now I can't control all my retailers but we're selling from Grand Rapids to Flint and from Mount Pleasant to Howell. So we have quite an area to cover.

But the Andy T name, what we're trying to drive with it is quality, freshness and good service.

It's been quite a year, but I still worry just as much today as I did 20 years ago."
