This man knows our community

Anyone visiting Forrence Orchards quickly senses the pride the Forrence family has in their orchard and the respect they have for people they employ.  Every September about two hundred Jamaican men travel from their island nation to harvest the Forrence crop.  These men play a key role in Forrence’s success.

Last Saturday, Seth Forrence wanted a picture taken of Kenneth Thompson, a seventy-one year old man who has been working at Forrence Orchards for the past thirty-two years.  This will probably be Thompson’s last year at Forrence Orchards.  He will be returning to his home in Carendon Parish, Jamaica.  Thompson said he also picked sugar cane for some twenty years.  He doesn’t do it any longer, because sugar cane harvesting has been mechanized. Best wishes to this dedicated and very respected man.  The Peru community appreciates the presence of our hard-working and very friendly Jamaican friends!
