Hello cyber-world. I am what you might call a "late adopter." I felt proud for many years to resist the temptation of "social media." I scoffed at those who spent hours on Facebook, Twitter, and other unproductive activities. I hid behind sarcasm, but deep down, I wondered about all these unknown sites. I surfed around my wife's Facebook page, living vicariously through her "friends," all the while wondering how I could transition from naysayer to user without losing my dignity. Luckily, our industry's "Cherry Marketing Institute" put on a workshop to show us cherry growers how to utilize social media for our personal and professional benefit.
So, I dove in headfirst. I've created a Twitter page, and you can follow me @BenLaCross. I will tweet when I update this blog, or you can simply check back here. What's in it for you, you ask?
Well, hopefully, this will evolve into a fun blog where you can learn about what's going on on our family cherry farm. I will soon post details of our farm, so you can get some background on who we are and what we do. I will also post about the health benefits of cherries, politics of farming, and maybe give my take on some current events and what's going on in the world of sports.
So, check my links, follow me on Twitter, and check back soon!!
