00:00:57,390 --> 00:01:01,480
Well, thanks for joining us again on
today's episode of Island Today's Drive.

17
00:01:01,580 --> 00:01:06,360
I'm your host Matt Doley. Today
I am here at Dudas Farm and, uh,

18
00:01:06,670 --> 00:01:11,080
mark has, has given us the opportunity
to talk to him a little bit, uh,

19
00:01:11,170 --> 00:01:14,560
about the farm, about
the history. Um, and,

20
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,560
and I think that's where we'll
start today. So, you know,

21
00:01:17,580 --> 00:01:21,880
can you tell us a little bit about
the history of Dudas Farms and, uh,

22
00:01:21,980 --> 00:01:26,000
how it became a a family
business? Sure. Um,

23
00:01:27,260 --> 00:01:31,440
my dad bought this property
back in the sixties and uh,

24
00:01:32,020 --> 00:01:33,240
my dad actually was, uh,

25
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,960
a microbiologist and ran the
lab uniontown in Dansville

26
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,080
hospitals, and he always had farmin in
his blood and he did it on the side. So,

27
00:01:43,260 --> 00:01:47,400
um, he grow up, you know, daughter's,
we would always put in, uh,

28
00:01:47,460 --> 00:01:49,800
she roses of sweet corn and, uh,

29
00:01:50,260 --> 00:01:52,960
we would pick sweet corn and we literally
took it to the bottom of this road

30
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,640
right here in our Sears lawn there,

31
00:01:55,740 --> 00:02:00,000
and we picked 10 ball and
it's also sweet there.

32
00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:04,720
So that's kinda how it dad was
a native cattle at the time.

33
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:08,520
And so we got into the eighties, uh,

34
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,400
I was in my young teens then we,

35
00:02:12,580 --> 00:02:14,880
we decided to push more
towards vegetables.

36
00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:21,240
It, it's grown to the point now that
where there's no more beef cattle,

37
00:02:21,740 --> 00:02:25,400
the only vegetables. My brother
Andrew, who was, uh, a contractor,

38
00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:29,440
he split homes, came on
board. He knew him and my mom.

39
00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:33,720
My dad was still on the sides
helping as needed. But, uh,

40
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:38,680
we decided to make a goat with vegetables
and we would sell here to farm out in

41
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,680
front of mom and dad's house.
And, uh, then the big move was,

42
00:02:43,740 --> 00:02:46,680
uh, we went down to the
bottom of the road, 1 66 here.

43
00:02:47,420 --> 00:02:48,880
And then from then we decided,

44
00:02:49,780 --> 00:02:54,040
we ended up going by in
Republic and then room tiny.

45
00:02:54,180 --> 00:02:56,080
And then it's just, it just spread on.

46
00:02:56,140 --> 00:03:00,520
And at this point now I'm gonna move
on between eight and 11 markets.

47
00:03:00,610 --> 00:03:05,400
We're still working on the markets
for this year, but, uh, we, uh,

48
00:03:05,660 --> 00:03:09,760
we do sell to John Eagles and shop and
saves 20 to 30 John Eagles and shop and

49
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,720
saves in the area some restaurants
too. So you started to talk about your,

50
00:03:13,790 --> 00:03:18,760
your famous super sweet corn and Yep. My
question is, and I honestly mean this,

51
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,760
it's, it's the best corn when I stop
at one of your roadside, um, tents and,

52
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,360
and bring it up. Um, but what sets
it apart from other varieties?

53
00:03:27,420 --> 00:03:31,480
Is there anything special you guys
do in the, uh, the process of,

54
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:36,000
of growing that corn that adds to the
delicious flavor that it has? Well,

55
00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:40,120
we can't tell you everything,
but, uh, <laugh>, in all honesty,

56
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:43,680
gosh, it seems like it's
nearly 10 years ago,

57
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,760
probably been 15 years ago or more. Uh,

58
00:03:48,580 --> 00:03:51,560
me and my brother made a
decision, like we were trying,

59
00:03:51,580 --> 00:03:53,120
we always tried varies every year.

60
00:03:53,770 --> 00:03:56,960
There was a few new varieties out we
tried and they're like, oh my gosh,

61
00:03:56,990 --> 00:04:00,760
this is just unbelievable how
sweet this variety is saying,

62
00:04:00,910 --> 00:04:04,480
talking to the seed cells, men of
different reps serve Penn State,

63
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:07,600
extension people, whatnot. You know,

64
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,720
sometimes the best variety is
don't always produce the most.

65
00:04:11,220 --> 00:04:16,200
And so a lot of people want to
grow varieties can produce the

66
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,880
most. We made the decision we wanna grow
something that's gonna face the best.

67
00:04:21,380 --> 00:04:25,720
So every year we literally, we
try new varieties every year,

68
00:04:25,940 --> 00:04:28,240
but that was our goal. We,

69
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,000
we were gonna try just define
the best varieties out there.

70
00:04:32,540 --> 00:04:36,960
We pick it fresh every day. Uh, there's
certain lines of varieties that we like,

71
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,080
certain, certain ones that have
just been really good, but we're,

72
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,720
even after we pick them, if we do,

73
00:04:42,820 --> 00:04:46,120
if we do have it in refrigerator
for a day or two or three, you know,

74
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,960
let's just say sometimes we
have some corn out there that

75
00:04:49,550 --> 00:04:52,400
it's not going to lose
its sweetness. It's,

76
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,800
it's not gonna change the star aspas
on the older variety of the word.

77
00:04:56,260 --> 00:05:00,800
So we try really hard to get the best
varieties that hold the banana that stay

78
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,600
sweetest to longest. Um, that's
the biggest part of it. One of,

79
00:05:05,780 --> 00:05:10,440
one of our really good friends,
uh, her name's Becky. Her, uh,

80
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,480
her sister Corey works in the
office here. Very bad Bob.

81
00:05:14,220 --> 00:05:17,880
He was the one that said, uh,
man, what's that dude to doing?

82
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:21,600
Is he putting sugar in this soil? So
it's kind of common hole like, you know,

83
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,640
and the corn's about a foot tall. We,
we go out, we put on nitrogen over the,

84
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:29,960
the corn, help get it green and get
it to get the next extra shot. Well,

85
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,560
it looks like sugar. And
I joke with my brother,

86
00:05:32,580 --> 00:05:36,320
we should write on the spreader sugar
spreader in really good people's eye.

87
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,600
I was raised glad that we've been talking
about it. We're putting the sugar out.

88
00:05:42,060 --> 00:05:43,080
But that's the really main thing.

89
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,280
You're just tried really hard to find
the best out there that's gonna hold

90
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:48,120
longer and be sweet right off the ground.

91
00:05:48,940 --> 00:05:52,080
Now let's talk a little bit
about the other types of, uh,

92
00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:56,160
vegetables and fruits that
you guys grow. Um, you know,

93
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,120
I found this great graphic on your
website that has the different, uh,

94
00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:05,840
varieties and things that you can,
you can pick up. But, uh, you know,

95
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:10,720
my my question is how do you decide
which ones to plant each season? And,

96
00:06:11,180 --> 00:06:14,200
uh, you know, maybe what are some
of your best sellers? Yep. Uh,

97
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,880
that people come back year after
year to buy. Sure. You know,

98
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:21,280
and what we decide the plant is pretty
much good is the sellers, you know,

99
00:06:21,420 --> 00:06:25,920
the other people, other people
wanting, uh, I mean after Sweet Corn,

100
00:06:25,980 --> 00:06:28,960
the most important crop is it
has to be tomatoes. I mean,

101
00:06:29,030 --> 00:06:33,240
everybody loves a good, good freshly
picked tomato, a garden tomato.

102
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:37,840
And we try really hard and
get good varieties that are
gonna hold up. You know,

103
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:41,040
we do like barely. If you
want the best taste in tomato,

104
00:06:41,070 --> 00:06:42,520
like your old brandy wine,

105
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,800
pink brandy wine is your probably
doesn't get much better than that.

106
00:06:46,420 --> 00:06:50,120
And that's what I like to
eat on my sandwiches. It
doesn't have the shelf life.

107
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,320
It's gonna get, you know, you gotta be
careful how you handle it and how you,

108
00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:57,280
and how you store it and whatnot.
Even have varieties like everybody,

109
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:00,760
almost other growers in the area, they
don't like to grow. One called Red De.

110
00:07:00,780 --> 00:07:05,680
And we actually sell that variety to the
public if you wanna grow Red De. But,

111
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:09,600
um, it produces a nice big
tomato. It, it's got good flavor,

112
00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:14,080
it has good shelf life. But, you
know, going down from men, you know,

113
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:14,720
zucchini's,

114
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,680
extremely popper green zucchini got
hot banana peppers are so important.

115
00:07:19,140 --> 00:07:24,040
The green peppers are so pick could
buy a lot of egg green beans, uh,

116
00:07:24,180 --> 00:07:27,960
can, you know, try to grow to
Beth's canop. We pick 'em out,

117
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,160
they're sweetest from the,
you know, full slip and they,

118
00:07:31,550 --> 00:07:35,760
they got any of their sugars
in them. Um, lot of, and,

119
00:07:36,420 --> 00:07:41,040
and, uh, gosh, what I'm I forgetting?
There's so many different things that, um,

120
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:46,240
on this build the sweet candy on
another variety similar to it.

121
00:07:46,460 --> 00:07:48,640
And, uh, and they can get me ness,

122
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,370
I mean bigger the softballs and
they're so sweet and they popular.

123
00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:58,290
Um, so Mike, that's what we, we may be
able to try a little bit more. We'll try,

124
00:07:58,870 --> 00:08:01,970
we may try something different.
Every I, we've grown some carrots,

125
00:08:03,340 --> 00:08:06,970
these big bump bins that we used to
pick crops and I've been growing some

126
00:08:06,970 --> 00:08:10,370
carrots in there. Uh, just cuz I
can get the soil right in there.

127
00:08:11,030 --> 00:08:13,250
We don't have the right soil
in the fields to grow carrots,

128
00:08:13,250 --> 00:08:16,650
but I could add some meat loss ornot
in it so it could be a little more

129
00:08:16,850 --> 00:08:18,650
learning. But little things like that,

130
00:08:18,650 --> 00:08:21,690
we try a few things every year if
we have time to do it, you know,

131
00:08:21,690 --> 00:08:25,930
if we afford we can do a better job on
the crop. We try, you know, you know,

132
00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:31,370
always, there's always customers out
recommending things and, you know, some,

133
00:08:31,370 --> 00:08:35,490
some years of trust that day running,
you know, but, you know, sweet corn,

134
00:08:35,490 --> 00:08:39,290
tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, cucumbers,
pickles, those are all really,

135
00:08:39,290 --> 00:08:41,890
really important crops. Those are
people wanna use in their salads.

136
00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:46,930
Now we're sitting here amongst,
uh, some beautiful flowers and, uh,

137
00:08:46,930 --> 00:08:50,650
in my line of sight right in front of
me or, or some gorgeous hanging baskets.

138
00:08:51,190 --> 00:08:52,970
Um, but I, I'll be honest with you,

139
00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:57,560
as much as I've stopped at at your
tents in the past and picked up produce,

140
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,160
I never really thought of Dudoss
Farms as a place to go pick up my,

141
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:06,560
my flowers that I'm gonna landscape
with or my hanging basket. Sure.

142
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,040
I wanna hang outside. So why don't
we talk a little bit about, uh,

143
00:09:10,290 --> 00:09:13,560
about the flower production
and uh, sure. Where,

144
00:09:13,650 --> 00:09:18,600
where you can get those or flowers
only available here or We do have some

145
00:09:18,700 --> 00:09:19,680
at inside markets,

146
00:09:19,740 --> 00:09:22,120
but obviously we're still limited
that we can take there every day,

147
00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:26,760
but we don't like leave anything
there at overnight just because of

148
00:09:27,060 --> 00:09:30,920
the safety of it and theft
and whatnot. So, so we bring,

149
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,040
everything's gotta be brought home,
uh, every single night. So we could,

150
00:09:35,260 --> 00:09:37,320
in middle of how much
we could take, you know,

151
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,440
some people know what we
have and they'll ask us,

152
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,560
we get special orders to send
phones or, or you know, the,

153
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:45,480
the million bells or whatnot. You know,

154
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,200
they know we're gonna try to send 'em the
best. But obviously if they come here,

155
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,160
there's just so much more selection
can get. And uh, if we're honest,

156
00:09:52,260 --> 00:09:54,960
we always try to be upfront with our
customers. We don't grow missing flowers,

157
00:09:55,060 --> 00:09:56,960
we do grow some, uh,

158
00:09:58,550 --> 00:10:01,920
it's just easier for us to buy them from
somebody who's really good at growing

159
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,600
them and then we resell them here. Um,

160
00:10:04,740 --> 00:10:06,280
so that's what we've been
doing over the years.

161
00:10:06,740 --> 00:10:09,960
My Uncle Frank has have the great hands
down in Republican and grew so much.

162
00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:11,800
But, uh, you know,

163
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,040
our main forte is growing the vegetables
and all the vegetable plants. We grow,

164
00:10:16,260 --> 00:10:19,040
we start, those are all waters.
We grow, 'em all grew, uh,

165
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,800
and a lot of more varieties that
we use in the field. Most people,

166
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,400
like if you go to, and I'm not trying
to pick on other nurses or greenhouses,

167
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,240
but they're growing the cheapest
seat available just because it's,

168
00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:32,240
it's cost effective.
And I understand and my,

169
00:10:32,660 --> 00:10:35,720
and even Uncle Frank will
get you that and, and,

170
00:10:35,860 --> 00:10:40,160
and we'd grow the same varieties you
grew out in the field, a lot of times,

171
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,640
like when you're looking at almost
anything, you still grow some of the,

172
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,560
the better boil tomatoes. But in
all honesty, the the red juice and,

173
00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:51,200
and the other ones that we grow, they
gonna produce such a better tomato than,

174
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:54,280
you know, some of the older
varieties. But even like peppers,

175
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,720
like we use the same varieties.

176
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,360
We grow the Red Bell peppers and the
other peppers, we have more right now.

177
00:10:58,510 --> 00:10:59,720
Siemens, as you grow in the fridge,

178
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,360
you have a higher chance
of getting better quality.

179
00:11:02,780 --> 00:11:05,120
And I've had so many
customers come up to us,

180
00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:09,400
the best plants I've ever grown and like
what we using the best seed we can get,

181
00:11:09,660 --> 00:11:12,520
you know, so we'd rather
have quality, you know,

182
00:11:12,750 --> 00:11:16,520
quality is the number one in in in our
books. That's what we try to strive find.

183
00:11:17,420 --> 00:11:22,000
So, uh, we're here at your, uh,
the market at Dudas Farm. Your,

184
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,760
your main location, which is
on Creek Road, Brownsville. Um,

185
00:11:26,860 --> 00:11:30,800
but let's talk a little bit about
your summer stands. Sure. And uh,

186
00:11:31,180 --> 00:11:33,000
and if you could tell
me where each one is,

187
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,360
I didn't pull them up on your website,

188
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,440
but where can people find to It's so
it's a little bit of a work in progress

189
00:11:38,470 --> 00:11:42,400
like Wema Barbara Outstanding and West
yesterday for a new location. And I,

190
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:46,680
in conversations with a few property
owners as we skip, uh, this morning.

191
00:11:47,340 --> 00:11:48,560
But uh, sure.

192
00:11:48,690 --> 00:11:52,440
Right now we are currently open at the
room time location of Matthew Drive.

193
00:11:52,470 --> 00:11:56,440
It's right in in the Big Lots parking
lot. It's one of our best locations. Um,

194
00:11:57,180 --> 00:12:01,840
one location we're at
is in Washington Mall.

195
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,320
It's now called Crown Center Mall. Um,

196
00:12:05,060 --> 00:12:09,720
we Rio King last year
and now that was by car

197
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:10,120
dealership.

198
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:15,080
So us and behind the mile a little bit
kinda where the Sears and Bonton backside

199
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,720
entrance is. But we'll signage up
there, it's another big location. Uh,

200
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,560
my brother is currently setting up
the Westover location as we speak. Um,

201
00:12:24,620 --> 00:12:27,240
so we're building the tent
today and putting up, uh,

202
00:12:27,540 --> 00:12:29,320
we be open tomorrow at
that location. It's in,

203
00:12:30,230 --> 00:12:34,880
it's in Westover at Bridge Shop and
Save, it's, we were there last year. Um,

204
00:12:36,250 --> 00:12:40,510
so it's some location there. We do
have a new location in Connorsville.

205
00:12:40,620 --> 00:12:44,310
It's at the Village Plaza if, uh,
if you're coming from Carnesville,

206
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:49,230
it's right where one 19 comes back
together about maybe a hundred yard

207
00:12:49,290 --> 00:12:52,470
before the Walmart that you be on your
right if you're heading towards Walmart.

208
00:12:52,930 --> 00:12:55,350
So it's right, I think
there's a Pizza Canyons there.

209
00:12:56,170 --> 00:12:58,110
So that is a new location here.

210
00:12:58,110 --> 00:12:59,950
We're really excited about
that cause we're closer.

211
00:12:59,970 --> 00:13:04,510
The car really b location speed
limit was 55 along there and

212
00:13:04,510 --> 00:13:07,790
obviously people are going full fast and
that it was hard for people to get to

213
00:13:07,790 --> 00:13:07,950
us.

214
00:13:07,950 --> 00:13:12,070
I think they didn't wanna stop but really
are optimistic about this new location

215
00:13:12,090 --> 00:13:16,550
in Con as well. Um, the another location,

216
00:13:16,610 --> 00:13:19,550
is it Val Strip in Delvin? Um,

217
00:13:20,010 --> 00:13:23,390
we able for a construction to be finished
and I was told that I'd just finished

218
00:13:23,450 --> 00:13:25,270
and that vehicle was,
that bridge is reopened.

219
00:13:25,610 --> 00:13:29,470
So looked for that market
going here the next few weeks,

220
00:13:29,890 --> 00:13:34,420
if not sooner. Are you
looking for uh, Greensburg

221
00:13:36,990 --> 00:13:38,100
right at the airport now?

222
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,860
So if you're going
Greensburg from like, say on,

223
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,420
on 21 sheets should be on your
left, right turn on the right,

224
00:13:46,420 --> 00:13:50,500
you'll see us on the right
red tight, uh, entrance.

225
00:13:50,580 --> 00:13:54,500
I guess you could say Red 10
surveillance sign Instagram, um,

226
00:13:55,780 --> 00:14:00,680
ms. We are trying to find an invitation
Smith. I think our a vacation,

227
00:14:01,790 --> 00:14:06,280
it's too hard to, we're not, uh,
in the traffic. It's so bad though.

228
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:10,000
We were by the neighbors
at the gas station.

229
00:14:10,260 --> 00:14:15,120
We right down from the GetGo so we're
going conversation right now with the

230
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,600
GetGo. We'd love to get in to get there,

231
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,680
but I don't know if the policies are
gonna let us get into the parking lot. Uh,

232
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,880
conversation right now
with Century Plaza who has,

233
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,810
and if you go closer
to Century three Mall,

234
00:14:28,190 --> 00:14:32,210
go Garden Zone, just go keep going
up and the century plaza's there.

235
00:14:32,750 --> 00:14:35,530
We may have issues because the shop and
Save is there and there might be, uh,

236
00:14:35,660 --> 00:14:37,810
terms with their contracts
that have in another farm,

237
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,770
another products being sold, they
completed with Shop and Save, we'll see.

238
00:14:42,030 --> 00:14:46,810
But they, they've been unbelievably
polite, nice to talk to,

239
00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:47,730
trying to work,

240
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,000
work out media location there somewhere
maybe the Big Lots parking lot or

241
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,800
something else. So we're still
working out on that one. Uh,

242
00:14:57,180 --> 00:14:59,480
am I missing you were
not the Christmas shop,

243
00:14:59,740 --> 00:15:01,960
so you not closing that one this year?

244
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,000
Unfortunately the sales during
the week have been so bad. They,

245
00:15:05,910 --> 00:15:07,000
they were making pay bad,

246
00:15:07,620 --> 00:15:10,680
so it was really good on a
Friday and Saturday and Sundays.

247
00:15:12,420 --> 00:15:17,240
Uh, we just start this as
a business decision. We had
to unfortunately close it.

248
00:15:17,710 --> 00:15:18,600
It's only like,

249
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,640
I think maybe six or eight miles
away from the Uniontown location.

250
00:15:21,700 --> 00:15:23,040
So it's not that bad of a drive.

251
00:15:23,660 --> 00:15:27,800
So unfortunately might be at the
Christmas shop this year and in that area

252
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:28,720
there, you know,

253
00:15:29,190 --> 00:15:33,480
I've just relocated to to there and
I do a lot of work for the winery and

254
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,680
distillery. Um, you know,
but on Mondays and Tuesdays,

255
00:15:37,750 --> 00:15:42,000
sometimes even on Wednesdays it's
hard to order a sandwich or you know,

256
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,640
just the mountain closed down, closes
down for, uh, a few days because it,

257
00:15:47,540 --> 00:15:50,240
it is a limited population
that it really is.

258
00:15:50,500 --> 00:15:54,600
I'm granted on a beautiful summer week,
week when people are taking vacations,

259
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,320
you might get more business, but
when you look at the whole season,

260
00:15:58,270 --> 00:16:02,760
this as much as we still wanna be
there and it's beautiful spot, it just,

261
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,520
it just does, unfortunately this
doesn't work out. I mean, and I,

262
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,880
I don't know if I missed it whenever
we were talking, uh, earlier, but, um,

263
00:16:11,050 --> 00:16:15,800
route 40 in Brownsville at the sweet
piece. Yep. So that is still on the table.

264
00:16:16,980 --> 00:16:18,160
So our biggest thing and,

265
00:16:18,180 --> 00:16:22,920
and we try to educate Republic
that is only 2.6 miles that way

266
00:16:23,070 --> 00:16:23,903
from here,

267
00:16:25,950 --> 00:16:29,000
it's really hard to justify
paying rent, pay insurance,

268
00:16:29,060 --> 00:16:31,520
paying one person to be
two foot six miles away.

269
00:16:31,860 --> 00:16:34,560
And that market still does pretty
good in the middle of the summer.

270
00:16:34,740 --> 00:16:39,160
So they're trying to get customers to
come here. That's the biggest thing. Uh,

271
00:16:39,180 --> 00:16:43,080
if that market does open and
I give that one a 60% chance,

272
00:16:43,750 --> 00:16:48,000
that would be closer to what we have on
Sweet Corner, which would be late June.

273
00:16:48,780 --> 00:16:53,120
And we'll see. I mean, sometimes it's
hard to staff that it's, it's um,

274
00:16:53,820 --> 00:16:57,240
you know, getting employees to run these
markets cuz it's challenging, you know,

275
00:16:57,420 --> 00:17:00,640
so good, good employees
that are in consistently.

276
00:17:00,780 --> 00:17:04,240
So that's the last open,
typically in the last to close.

277
00:17:04,260 --> 00:17:07,520
And if we can't fulfill all our
markets for a day, someone calls us.

278
00:17:07,620 --> 00:17:11,640
That's the first market to close just
cause it's only 2.6 miles away. Sure.

279
00:17:11,780 --> 00:17:14,400
So that one's still on the
table. We'll see how things go.

280
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,440
I mean obviously if you come 2.6 miles,

281
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,920
there's so much more here to offer inside
the store and out here and everything,

282
00:17:21,660 --> 00:17:25,040
so, so let's talk a little
bit about the pandemic.

283
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,880
I know the pandemic hurt
small businesses no. On, uh,

284
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,360
kind of with no regard for what industry
they're in. Yep. But, uh, you know, it,

285
00:17:33,380 --> 00:17:38,080
it couldn't have been easy on,
um, on you guys without, uh,

286
00:17:38,180 --> 00:17:42,560
you know, in, in the fall you have
a, a lot of kind of community events.

287
00:17:42,620 --> 00:17:46,680
I'm sure it heard that. So tell
us a little bit about how, um,

288
00:17:47,180 --> 00:17:50,440
how Covid 19 affected your business and,

289
00:17:51,020 --> 00:17:54,840
and there are some good changes
that Covid brought around, uh,

290
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,040
for some businesses. So let's
just kind of jump off shore and,

291
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,240
and talk about some of
those issues. There was,

292
00:18:00,370 --> 00:18:04,600
there was particularly good and it was
more that was bad. I mean, there was,

293
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:05,560
we did have a spurt.

294
00:18:06,020 --> 00:18:10,080
We ourselves were better for a short
period of time because people were scared

295
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,560
to go into a store and so they came
to the open air market, you know,

296
00:18:13,580 --> 00:18:14,560
our tents outside,

297
00:18:14,910 --> 00:18:19,120
unfortunately that was short lived and
we wish we were so excited and hopeful

298
00:18:19,590 --> 00:18:24,080
that maybe this will continue down,
but it didn't, you know, so we, um,

299
00:18:24,540 --> 00:18:26,560
it was gay. I mean like, we refused,

300
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,520
remember when we first opened we were so
nervous because we were limited on how

301
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,040
many people we could have
in the store and, you know,

302
00:18:32,060 --> 00:18:36,760
if people would get sick and, and
I mean it's just, I mean everybody,

303
00:18:36,860 --> 00:18:41,680
we all lived here, you know, I mean it
was, it was unbelievable. Um, we built,

304
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,000
we had an outside register here
so people wouldn't go inside,

305
00:18:46,380 --> 00:18:49,040
try to be careful and as possible,

306
00:18:50,980 --> 00:18:53,160
the hay ride, gosh, I remember
the first hay ride behind.

307
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,720
We were like trying to remember how
many people be on the hay ride and

308
00:18:57,260 --> 00:18:59,640
we were all nervous. I mean,
it was really a scary time.

309
00:19:01,810 --> 00:19:03,160
We're still here, thank
goodness, you know,

310
00:19:03,460 --> 00:19:06,640
we all got through it and we have limit
how many people were on the wagons and

311
00:19:06,660 --> 00:19:11,400
how many people were here. Um, so I mean,

312
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,240
it was tough, you know, some people
were more stressed about it than others.

313
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,480
Some people we're still more stressed
about it than others and further health

314
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,280
reasons and whatnot.

315
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,240
We tried to be respectful to everybody's
views and opinions on it and see it

316
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,160
was, it was really challenging and
it still is. You're still, you know,

317
00:19:29,310 --> 00:19:31,800
feeling from it. I think
everybody is, you know,

318
00:19:32,460 --> 00:19:36,520
so I don't know if that answers the
question good enough. Sure, sure. So, um,

319
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:40,360
we have to get our first break
in here on the program today. Uh,

320
00:19:40,530 --> 00:19:44,120
we'll stick around here and discuss
things, uh, a little bit more.

321
00:19:44,140 --> 00:19:48,000
One of the things on the, the
top of my agenda here is, uh,

322
00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:50,400
is what you do for the
fall and, and those things.

323

Kelly is a woman with
many hats. She's a wife,

414
00:26:01,070 --> 00:26:05,970
mother of two and a speech language
pathologist hailing from southwestern

415
00:26:06,010 --> 00:26:06,843
Pennsylvania.

416
00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:11,130
She moved away for a few years before
returning home to start her family.

417
00:26:11,590 --> 00:26:16,290
And boy did she explore the United
States during that time from sea

418
00:26:16,630 --> 00:26:21,490
to shining sea. Kelly's adventures
were nothing short of spectacular,

419
00:26:22,150 --> 00:26:22,983
but you know what?

420
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:27,650
Since returning home Kelly's perspective
on her hometown and the surrounding

421
00:26:27,740 --> 00:26:29,330
areas has shifted dramatically,

422
00:26:29,590 --> 00:26:31,970
she can't stop daydreaming
about her next adventure,

423
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,970
whether it's exploring a new place
or simply getting lost in the woods.

424
00:26:36,350 --> 00:26:40,850
And now she's here to share
all her wonderful travel
tips and insights with us.

425
00:26:41,190 --> 00:26:45,840
So let's buckle up, get the kids in
the car seats, fill up our tanks,

426
00:26:46,060 --> 00:26:50,760
and join Kelly and her family
on this exciting ride all in a

427
00:26:50,810 --> 00:26:54,600
day's drive where the fun never stops.

428
00:27:08,540 --> 00:27:10,360
Hi, I'm Kelly with Adventurous with Kelly,

429
00:27:10,620 --> 00:27:12,920
and you're tuning into
All In a Day's Drive.

430
00:27:14,020 --> 00:27:18,480
I'm a mom in southwestern Pennsylvania
and I like to get my family out and

431
00:27:18,510 --> 00:27:23,280
explore and I'm here to share some of
the things I learned along the way to

432
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:28,240
help you plan your next adventure.
Today I want to talk about,

433
00:27:29,340 --> 00:27:31,720
uh, places become very special to me.

434
00:27:32,010 --> 00:27:35,440
Touchstone Center for
Crafts in Farmington,

435
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,040
Pennsylvania in Fayette County.

436
00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:40,800
This is nestled in the Laurel Highlands.

437
00:27:41,340 --> 00:27:44,200
So this pairs really well. Um,

438
00:27:44,220 --> 00:27:48,520
if you're visiting with a
trip to Ohio P State Park,

439
00:27:49,150 --> 00:27:53,640
falling Water Fort Necessity
National Battlefield. Um,

440
00:27:53,660 --> 00:27:57,880
and if you live in the area, this
is a, a gem right in your backyard.

441
00:27:58,820 --> 00:27:59,880
Uh, they should check out.

442
00:28:01,460 --> 00:28:06,280
So I first learned about
Touchstone in seventh or eighth

443
00:28:06,370 --> 00:28:11,240
grade on a field trip. And, uh, you know,

444
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:16,000
I enjoyed not being in class
<laugh> and you know, it was a good,

445
00:28:16,140 --> 00:28:20,560
it was a good field trip. We
went up and tried some art and,

446
00:28:20,940 --> 00:28:25,760
you know, I probably didn't
appreciate it at the time, um, but it,

447
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,200
I just kind of lost it in my mind
and forgot about it really. Um,

448
00:28:31,140 --> 00:28:32,520
but, you know,

449
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:37,280
I moved away for a few years
and I moved back and I was just

450
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,240
thinking about planning
a date with my husband.

451
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,040
I will take any date that I can get,

452
00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:49,160
but I also really like to
add in some adventures and

453
00:28:49,190 --> 00:28:50,920
experiences On date nights.

454
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,600
I and my husband is
pretty easy to surprise.

455
00:28:55,860 --> 00:29:00,560
So one time I surprised him
and we went sailing on San

456
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:05,400
Francisco Bay when I lived in
California and another time I

457
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,320
surprised him, um,

458
00:29:08,110 --> 00:29:12,320
with a learned to curl session
at the Pittsburgh Curling Club.

459
00:29:12,420 --> 00:29:17,200
We like to watch curling in when
we watch the Winter Olympics.

460
00:29:17,660 --> 00:29:20,160
And, um, my husband

461
00:29:21,700 --> 00:29:25,400
is an artist and I'm an artist,

462
00:29:26,060 --> 00:29:30,600
as I have learned to
say from my art friends.

463
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,080
I used to say, I'm not an
artist, but my husband is.

464
00:29:33,140 --> 00:29:37,400
And my art friends are like, no, you're
an artist for all artists. So, okay,

465
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,480
I didn't, I didn't believe that at first,
but I'm starting to accept that. Uh,

466
00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:42,020
but my,

467
00:29:42,020 --> 00:29:45,800
my husband's a little more artistically
drawing than I am and he doesn't,

468
00:29:46,460 --> 00:29:49,920
you know, always get the time to, um,

469
00:29:50,300 --> 00:29:53,200
do art and I wanted to see him do it.

470
00:29:53,660 --> 00:29:58,440
And so I just was, you
know, thinking about a date.

471
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,320
And I remembered Touchstone from
my middle school field trip.

472
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,400
I hadn't been there or
thought about it in years.

473
00:30:04,580 --> 00:30:06,520
And so I just decided to give them a call.

474
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:11,480
And I asked if they did like
couples art sessions and they said,

475
00:30:11,510 --> 00:30:16,040
yeah, we have date night workshops.
And I was like, oh, okay,

476
00:30:16,070 --> 00:30:20,560
tell me more. And, um, you know,

477
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,960
you wanna check their website, which
is, I don't know if I mentioned it,

478
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,360
but it's touchstone crafts.org and

479
00:30:29,060 --> 00:30:32,240
you just check there or give 'em a call
for the most up-to-date information.

480
00:30:32,380 --> 00:30:34,800
But, um, we've gotten twice now. We,

481
00:30:35,180 --> 00:30:39,800
we did glass and we did blacksmithing,
but with our date night came,

482
00:30:40,460 --> 00:30:44,440
um, a two hour session with
a really talented instructor.

483
00:30:44,940 --> 00:30:47,960
All the materials were provided, um,

484
00:30:48,820 --> 00:30:53,680
and then after the session you were
able to leave with the art that you

485
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,080
created. Um,

486
00:30:56,620 --> 00:30:59,840
and they had hors d'oeuvres. The,

487
00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:03,920
the produce was grown in
their garden and we had,

488
00:31:05,300 --> 00:31:10,240
um, wine, local wine from
Christian Clay Winery. And, um,

489
00:31:10,790 --> 00:31:15,640
it's just a really nice date night.
The the campus is so beautiful,

490
00:31:15,870 --> 00:31:19,120
it's just really quiet.
It's tucked in the woods.

491
00:31:19,870 --> 00:31:24,560
It's just a gem and it's very peaceful
and you don't need to have any

492
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:29,480
experience to try this.
Uh, cuz I didn't. And like,

493
00:31:29,620 --> 00:31:31,560
if I can do it, you could
do it. Didn't, again,

494
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,800
I was thinking I wasn't
an artist, but I was. Um,

495
00:31:35,260 --> 00:31:38,120
so you don't need to have
any experience and you know,

496
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,120
you can do it Soly too if you want.
Don't wanna, you know, do it as a date.

497
00:31:42,980 --> 00:31:46,240
So it's a really neat way
to check out Touchstone.

498
00:31:46,540 --> 00:31:50,440
And they offer way more than
just the date night workshops.

499
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:55,120
They have Teen Week and Nature Week,

500
00:31:55,300 --> 00:32:00,240
and Educator Retreats, and
I mean, all sorts of things.

501
00:32:01,380 --> 00:32:01,750
Um,

502
00:32:01,750 --> 00:32:06,440
another great way to explore
Touchstone is their open

503
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,480
house, which is, I believe
usually the first weekend in June.

504
00:32:11,260 --> 00:32:14,960
And it's a parade event. It's
free and it's family friendly.

505
00:32:15,460 --> 00:32:19,880
So we went to the open house last year
and took our kids and had a great time.

506
00:32:20,980 --> 00:32:25,440
Um, they had food trucks and vendors,

507
00:32:25,950 --> 00:32:29,320
information booths about
the little highlands.

508
00:32:29,940 --> 00:32:34,800
You could go into all the art studios
and see what they were like. Um,

509
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,680
my kids really enjoyed
a drum circle and doing

510
00:32:39,750 --> 00:32:43,360
kids crafts and art. Uh, so it's just,

511
00:32:43,710 --> 00:32:48,560
it's just such a great place. Um, another
thing I really like about it, it's,

512
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,920
it's really close to Quebec
Run Wild area. So if,

513
00:32:53,540 --> 00:32:55,400
if you're familiar with
Ohio, Paul, you know,

514
00:32:55,460 --> 00:32:57,240
can get kind of busy in the summer.

515
00:32:58,140 --> 00:33:02,520
So Quebec is a really nice place
to check out too. If you're hiking,

516
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:07,240
mountain biking, you know,
back backpacking and camping.

517
00:33:08,180 --> 00:33:12,720
Um, it's in Ford State Forest.
It's a really place to get out,

518
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,880
a really great, really great place
to get outside and explore and it's,

519
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,800
it's less crowded. So that's
another, um, thing to keep in mind.

520
00:33:19,940 --> 00:33:24,520
So yeah, check out Touchstone
Center for Crafts. Um,

521
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,200
I think you'll, you'll enjoy it.

522
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:30,200
So thanks for tuning in and hope
to catch you on our next adventure.

527
00:33:47,930 --> 00:33:52,200
Today we've been exploring the beauty
and wonder of Pennsylvania from the

528
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,880
stunning landscapes to the historic
landmarks and world renowned attractions.

529
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,720
Pennsylvania truly has it
all, and the best part,

530
00:34:01,300 --> 00:34:03,960
you can see it all in
just one day's drive.

531
00:34:04,580 --> 00:34:09,360
So let's buckle up and join us as we
journey through this incredible state from

532
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:14,280
Philadelphia's Liberty Bell
to the breathtaking vistas
of the Pocono Mountains.

533
00:34:14,690 --> 00:34:18,360
We'll show you why Pennsylvania
is a must visit destination,

534
00:34:18,780 --> 00:34:23,760
and now back to today's
adventure here on All in a Day's

535
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:24,593
Drive.

536
00:34:34,210 --> 00:34:38,110
Thanks for staying with us on all on the
Today's Drive. My name is Matt Downing,

537
00:34:38,110 --> 00:34:41,870
I'm your host of the program.
Uh, I'm here at Dudas Farms, uh,

538
00:34:42,020 --> 00:34:46,590
with Mark Duer. And Mark, before we went
to break, I said I was gonna ask about,

539
00:34:46,650 --> 00:34:50,910
uh, about the fall. I know your corn
mazes have been around for a long time.

540
00:34:51,290 --> 00:34:55,870
You're now, uh, doing some type of,
uh, a frightening event as well. And,

541
00:34:55,870 --> 00:34:58,830
and then the hay rides. Tell us a
little bit about all those. Sure.

542
00:34:58,850 --> 00:35:02,510
It actually all started off first with,
uh, pumpkin picking hay rides. Um,

543
00:35:03,590 --> 00:35:04,870
I don't know the exact date.

544
00:35:04,950 --> 00:35:08,670
I think it was around
like 25 or 30 years ago.

545
00:35:08,990 --> 00:35:11,950
I noticed right before I got
made, which was 26 years ago,

546
00:35:11,950 --> 00:35:13,830
we already doing pumpkin
picking 30 rounds.

547
00:35:14,450 --> 00:35:19,030
My first maze has actually hated bomb
made, don't do it current yet. And, uh,

548
00:35:19,650 --> 00:35:24,030
but it has evolved over the years. Um,
it has been a lot of fun, you know,

549
00:35:24,030 --> 00:35:28,510
it's a, it's another way and reason to
get people to the farm, uh, and have,

550
00:35:28,850 --> 00:35:33,790
get families to the farm and,
uh, have some fun down on time.

551
00:35:34,490 --> 00:35:37,600
So it has evolved to, we,

552
00:35:37,940 --> 00:35:42,400
we currently just looking at the daytime
stuff, people come here in the fall.

553
00:35:43,300 --> 00:35:47,400
Uh, we have a, a large corn maze
different to go into and it's just, yeah,

554
00:35:47,470 --> 00:35:49,760
some daytime, like this
year, last year, our,

555
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,320
our corn may is included in nighttime.

556
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,960
We're gonna have two
different corn maes this year,

557
00:35:53,260 --> 00:35:57,680
the daytime corn MayT and the nighttime
four ma. So the daytime corn MAs,

558
00:35:57,700 --> 00:36:02,590
we had path in places to
choose and they might be

559
00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:06,310
some funny ski crews in there
and whatnot. But, um, you know,

560
00:36:06,310 --> 00:36:08,830
it'll take you a good half an
hour to get through it. Um,

561
00:36:09,210 --> 00:36:11,630
we have a lot of bonfire areas out here.

562
00:36:11,690 --> 00:36:14,190
We have all kinds of pumpkins
sit out here in front of the,

563
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,870
where the flowers are now.
Um, walks the, the barn,

564
00:36:18,970 --> 00:36:23,030
we have texts to rent if you're gonna
have to picnics and parties. We have, uh,

565
00:36:23,090 --> 00:36:26,950
Beck's, uh, concession here with, uh,

566
00:36:27,380 --> 00:36:30,710
food options. And this year he's
gonna have a catered memory.

567
00:36:30,850 --> 00:36:32,870
So if you wanna get your
pizzas and whatnot here,

568
00:36:33,150 --> 00:36:36,510
there's gonna be a substantial
discount on buy, uh,

569
00:36:36,610 --> 00:36:39,510
in bulk and all kinds
of other items as well.

570
00:36:40,010 --> 00:36:43,390
And then the real highlight
there is, is the hay ride.

571
00:36:44,010 --> 00:36:48,110
So the hay ride starts here at the farm,
uh, and it's a good 30 minute ride.

572
00:36:48,300 --> 00:36:49,950
Goes up around,

573
00:36:50,850 --> 00:36:55,150
up this hill up through some of the
fields and go down through this hollow and

574
00:36:55,620 --> 00:36:57,670
it's kind of like a haunted
hollow. It's just creepy.

575
00:36:58,170 --> 00:36:59,710
And then it takes you
back out of the hollow.

576
00:37:00,010 --> 00:37:04,930
You log some more fields and then
we drop the customers off with

577
00:37:05,130 --> 00:37:08,450
a hay field that we've made and
we put the pumpkins in the field.

578
00:37:08,470 --> 00:37:13,110
We used to actually
take 'em to an ock as of

579
00:37:14,850 --> 00:37:15,400
intake.

580
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,910
We'll refill it from refill is after
a few rains it can get quite muddy,

581
00:37:20,140 --> 00:37:23,390
very messy. So we decided this used to
heavy filled to keep a little cleaner.

582
00:37:24,050 --> 00:37:26,950
Uh, we're gonna still get mud on
your here, the corn days and whatnot.

583
00:37:26,950 --> 00:37:29,630
We're just trying to limit
that as much as possible.

584
00:37:30,250 --> 00:37:32,550
So drop 'em off in the
tractor waits for you.

585
00:37:32,550 --> 00:37:35,030
Get to pick everybody on the
hair rod gets to pick a pumpkin.

586
00:37:35,770 --> 00:37:39,670
One thing we're really kind of our pumpkin
picking hair rods is the pumpkins are

587
00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:42,070
true pumpkins. There might
be some small ones out there,

588
00:37:42,290 --> 00:37:45,830
but there always gonna be some carving
pumpkins that 30 pounds that's included

589
00:37:45,830 --> 00:37:50,270
with the one time food you pay when
you come here for, for the day.

590
00:37:51,210 --> 00:37:54,990
Uh, then bring back down here.
You know, we we're allow,

591
00:37:54,990 --> 00:37:57,670
stay as long as you want. I mean,
you could know as marshmallows,

592
00:37:57,980 --> 00:38:01,190
cook some hot dogs on the
fire, walk to the animal barn.

593
00:38:01,190 --> 00:38:04,310
Some kids will pass
through, play soccer. Some,

594
00:38:04,660 --> 00:38:08,230
some soccer groups will
come here. We, uh, es scout,

595
00:38:08,230 --> 00:38:11,790
girls scouts will do some groups
here, daycares and whatnot.

596
00:38:12,250 --> 00:38:13,750
But try to give a really,

597
00:38:14,210 --> 00:38:18,750
try to give a really fun time to everybody
that's here. What happened last year,

598
00:38:18,750 --> 00:38:23,150
we partnered up with, with who's been in
the heart industry for about 25 years.

599
00:38:24,330 --> 00:38:28,750
And so last year we, we turned our,

600
00:38:28,850 --> 00:38:31,150
our mates at night and
turned into a hotted maid.

601
00:38:31,150 --> 00:38:33,590
So there would be actors in the
or different scenes in there.

602
00:38:35,980 --> 00:38:40,320
It was fantastic. I I I was very
nervous by it first. I mean,

603
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,160
just like we talk about a sweet corner
about everything. We tried to do it.

604
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,040
If we didn't do something, we're
gonna do it the best we could do it.

605
00:38:45,460 --> 00:38:48,360
And I told Roy said, if we're
gonna do this, I, I I run up.

606
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,720
I wanna make it best we could make it.
Our feedback was phenomenal. I mean,

607
00:38:52,820 --> 00:38:56,360
it was incredible. Uh, a lot of
people were so impressed, doc,

608
00:38:56,380 --> 00:38:57,400
and they were really scared.

609
00:38:57,990 --> 00:39:01,280
Some people were scared to go
through the whole thing, which is,

610
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,120
I think you did did your job if
you did that, but, uh, it was,

611
00:39:05,340 --> 00:39:09,200
it was so much fun. Um,
so this year we were

612
00:39:10,780 --> 00:39:14,640
is in, the Honda is
gonna stand on its own.

613
00:39:14,660 --> 00:39:17,440
The stock gonna be part of the
daytime. So it was something like this.

614
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,640
Some kids were too scared during
the daytime the day throw it,

615
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,800
some of the features were in there.
So we decided to have it on its own.

616
00:39:24,690 --> 00:39:28,270
All speak. This is manual. You're
working on stuff for October now.

617
00:39:28,380 --> 00:39:32,430
There's already multiple scenes being
built. Won't get too many details,

618
00:39:32,430 --> 00:39:36,830
but there's going to be, there's a,
people go inside, like inside the maze,

619
00:39:36,890 --> 00:39:40,910
the corn maze. You're going, you
can walk into, uh, uh, world Celine,

620
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,710
and it's gonna be in our
coal model and its going,

621
00:39:43,890 --> 00:39:47,590
its gonna be different things like that.
That's part of the actual corn maze.

622
00:39:48,330 --> 00:39:50,150
Um, it's really excited about that.

623
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,030
We're also gonna be adding
on two other things.

624
00:39:54,030 --> 00:39:56,190
There's gonna be a haunted hay ride,

625
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,270
which are gonna take the
same route as the daytime,

626
00:40:00,810 --> 00:40:04,750
the scenes along there, uh, one
that I know for sure that I I can,

627
00:40:04,750 --> 00:40:09,190
I'll get off is the risk of be a
distillery on the farm. Years ago,

628
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:14,030
there's gonna be a distill,
the haunted hay ride.

629
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,110
We'll see that also during the daytime,
but there'll be nobody scaring you.

630
00:40:17,110 --> 00:40:21,950
There won't be anything bad.
But, um, we also have a, um,

631
00:40:22,110 --> 00:40:26,140
I guess you call it, look in a
music ride. It's a, uh, it's,

632
00:40:26,170 --> 00:40:27,780
it's almost like a reasonable park ride,

633
00:40:27,780 --> 00:40:32,620
whereas when you get on a cart and it's
gonna take you through a series of, uh,

634
00:40:33,590 --> 00:40:35,340
doing the cart and like,

635
00:40:35,340 --> 00:40:38,620
there's nobody in there except there's
gonna be different scenes that daytime

636
00:40:38,620 --> 00:40:38,820
too.

637
00:40:38,820 --> 00:40:43,060
There wouldn't be filming scenes during
the daytime scary scenes at night about

638
00:40:43,100 --> 00:40:45,900
a, maybe like a minute round
ride to go through that.

639
00:40:45,900 --> 00:40:49,020
And that will be right here way
off of the edge of the maze.

640
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,340
So we really excited about the fall.
One other thing too, we added to,

641
00:40:54,030 --> 00:40:56,660
we've doing it for two
years now, has been the, uh,

642
00:40:56,660 --> 00:40:59,180
sunflower maes sunflower picture areas.

643
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,620
So gonna have that again this year.
It'll be in a different location,

644
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,740
but it's another great
reason to come to the farm.

645
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:11,100
You put on your Sunday's vest, take some
nice pictures of the sunflower maze.

646
00:41:11,470 --> 00:41:14,820
We're gonna be adding some
different scenes in the
sunflower mazes this year for

647
00:41:14,820 --> 00:41:17,620
people to take pictures,
different picture scenes, um,

648
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,300
say just try to get people to the farm.
Different, different events like that.

649
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:27,060
So you know, that really makes you
a, a destination. Um, you know,

650
00:41:27,370 --> 00:41:30,620
when you have all of that
going on. And, uh, you know,

651
00:41:30,820 --> 00:41:35,120
I would encourage people that are from
the Pittsburgh area from a little further

652
00:41:35,140 --> 00:41:39,720
beyond if even if it's in a, a
two hour driving radius, you know,

653
00:41:39,870 --> 00:41:43,280
plan your day and, and come out
here to Dudas because like I said,

654
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,480
it really is a destination. Uh, you
could spend a few hours with family and,

655
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:52,160
and really have a good time.
Um, what I, what I would ask is,

656
00:41:52,700 --> 00:41:56,880
you know, if I'm a parent that
wants to plan a day out on the farm,

657
00:41:57,580 --> 00:42:00,520
uh, how should I go about planning that?

658
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:05,320
Should I call and make reservations
for anything? Uh, visit your website.

659
00:42:05,540 --> 00:42:09,240
Uh, how do I prepare for the day
and plan it out all above the,

660
00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:12,200
the most information I think you
can get is on a Facebook site.

661
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,320
I try to be real diligent about
providing as the update as I can about,

662
00:42:16,610 --> 00:42:17,760
about what you're doing.

663
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,040
I try to do a lot of live updates out
in the field showing what we're picking.

664
00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:25,600
You know, we, we <inaudible>,
which is kind of comical now,

665
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:30,600
is is someone accused us of my growing
the sweet corner of tomatoes and

666
00:42:30,990 --> 00:42:35,400
took it very personally. You know, cause
I was like, you know, I, I, I try not,

667
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,200
I try to be very honest about
everything we have. This is not ours,

668
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,640
we're gonna tell you
about it. And, but like,

669
00:42:40,660 --> 00:42:43,360
so that's why I've been doing these live
updates. It's fantastic. It's so easy.

670
00:42:43,570 --> 00:42:48,160
Technology, very live from the thrills
to show everybody what we're doing.

671
00:42:48,620 --> 00:42:52,600
You know, we work really hard to get
the crops early and to keep 'em late,

672
00:42:52,740 --> 00:42:54,160
you know, so we can extend the season.

673
00:42:55,020 --> 00:42:57,880
But getting back to your question
about if you have a family,

674
00:42:59,100 --> 00:43:03,160
if about like there's information on the
Facebook, it was also information on,

675
00:43:03,300 --> 00:43:07,400
on the, uh, website we
could also call. But if,

676
00:43:07,420 --> 00:43:11,890
if it's in October or any
of those times, um, you,

677
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,850
you don't really reservations
if you're just a family.

678
00:43:14,870 --> 00:43:17,730
And if you bring in a big, big group, I
would definitely call for reservations.

679
00:43:17,750 --> 00:43:20,890
So we can get you in there if you
accommodates whatever may need.

680
00:43:20,890 --> 00:43:24,010
If it's a tent, you might need to,
it's something we can do to help you.

681
00:43:24,270 --> 00:43:29,010
We will, uh, when it comes to,
uh, your groups, let's dealership,

682
00:43:29,090 --> 00:43:30,730
I mean hospital information.

683
00:43:31,490 --> 00:43:34,370
Actually read the website I think for
Facebook right there. So we can see the,

684
00:43:34,550 --> 00:43:37,810
we try to do daily every other day,
the updates where we get an update,

685
00:43:38,190 --> 00:43:42,410
you know, twice every other day. So we
have just about a minute and a half,

686
00:43:42,630 --> 00:43:46,090
two minutes left in the program.
Uh, my final question is,

687
00:43:46,090 --> 00:43:49,970
is kind of a big question. Okay.
A big picture question. You know,

688
00:43:50,590 --> 00:43:55,530
why are, are farms, uh, so important to,

689
00:43:56,190 --> 00:43:58,930
uh, to the local
economies? And you know, I,

690
00:43:59,010 --> 00:44:02,170
I know you don't get rich
being a farmer. Oh no. Um, but,

691
00:44:02,190 --> 00:44:06,250
but what is the importance in, in
terms of national security and,

692
00:44:06,390 --> 00:44:09,770
and everything else about supporting
our local farm? Yeah, you get, you know,

693
00:44:09,770 --> 00:44:13,370
what's coming from, you know, you know
where the crop's coming from, you know,

694
00:44:13,910 --> 00:44:18,810
you're supporting our local family and
other local families. Uh, it's, it's,

695
00:44:19,270 --> 00:44:24,060
and let's you run the pop
stores are fewer far between.

696
00:44:24,260 --> 00:44:28,460
I think farms are some of your last
mom and pop businesses out there.

697
00:44:28,460 --> 00:44:31,260
If you really think about it, you
know, it's, it's kind of of sad.

698
00:44:31,260 --> 00:44:34,520
You've see some of them go, you
know, we're trying to the best,

699
00:44:34,710 --> 00:44:37,240
best product out there. We
really care about the customers.

700
00:44:37,260 --> 00:44:40,280
We really do customers number
one. You know, we want to,

701
00:44:40,460 --> 00:44:44,040
we wanna have happy customers that come
back. I'm not looking for one time,

702
00:44:44,100 --> 00:44:47,400
so I wanna have people say this is their
farm when they're proud to be here.

703
00:44:47,860 --> 00:44:51,760
You know, so I I I guess that's,

704
00:44:52,460 --> 00:44:55,360
that's probably the, the
best way to answer it.

705
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,680
I don't know if that that
quite answers it. I mean,

706
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:02,040
it's kind of a complex question.
Sure. You know, so, so before we, uh,

707
00:45:02,100 --> 00:45:04,080
before we sign off and, and wrap up here,

708
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,880
I wanted to give out some of
your contact information. Uh,

709
00:45:06,940 --> 00:45:09,960
the line that people should
call with questions would be

710
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:14,960
(724) 246-7601. Is that correct? Yep. Yep.

711
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,600
That's the best line that will
get you here. And, and so, uh,

712
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,840
they welcome your
feedback. They, you know,

713
00:45:21,060 --> 00:45:25,120
are trying very hard to be a member
of their community, uh, which they,

714
00:45:25,150 --> 00:45:27,960
they have been for generations now. Uh,

715
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,240
I would definitely encourage
you guys to, to come out.
