Mulberry Haven is a 100% organic fruit farm established by Gordon and Marie Kennedy in 1978. It is known to some as the oldest mulberry farm in North America. The mulberries in five varieties number 65 mature trees, their berries being marketed each year in late spring and summer. Included among the 100+ other fruit trees are carob, pomegranate, persimmon, avocado, Sunshine grapefruit (grapefruit/pomelo/tangelo cross), blood orange, pomelo, sapote, fig, apricot, and "Sprite" cherry-plum. Carol Vesecky and Irina Kim also tend GB gardens in roughly 1000 sq. ft. of the 2-acre property.
