Colton’s Corner is an apple and pear orchard located on about 25 acres in Cheshire, CT. The orchard has
500 to 600 trees and has been in his family for 43 years. Everyone in the family helps with the orchard,
especially Jim’s wife who assists with the apple harvest and is a major contributor in managing their business.
Jim’s admiration for his wife is very strong and he will gladly admit that “she is the heart of this operation.”
Jim is passionate about providing good quality for a reasonable price. He takes pride in his products and loves
the interactions that come along with selling it. Jim’s favorite part of the job is interacting with people. He loves
being able to connect and laugh with his customers.
