The elite compliment I’ve received over the last 3.5 years is when someone tells me, “Your magazine is so good, you should charge for it.”
When I hear that, I immediately think of two things:
✨ Our incredible team of writers, designer, and photographer who work hard every month to create meaningful, visually beautiful, high-quality content.
✨ The generous local businesses that invest in advertising with us, making it possible for us to deliver this magazine free of charge to homeowners throughout CC.
As you read this month’s issue, I hope you’ll keep that in mind. Supporting local businesses doesn’t just help them thrive—it helps them continue giving back, sponsoring community initiatives, and making our publication possible.
And now, I’m excited to introduce our June cover family!
Congratulations to Stan and Lavonne Albers of Beckemeyer, who grace the cover of our June issue. As the third generation to own and operate Taphorn Orchard, they have continued a family tradition that has been a delicious and memory-making part of our community for decades.
With peach and then apple season approaching, now is the perfect time to learn about the Albers Family and get ready for another mouthwatering season at Taphorn Orchard. Be sure to check your mailbox and enjoy this month’s magazine! Happy summer☀️
