CEO was delighted to have another sweet visit to Liberty Apple Orchard with co-owners Stephen and Lugene Miller!

This wonderful husband and wife due decided to pursue the life of “EnCOREpreneurialsm” when they brought an apple orchard to Edwardsville, IL 12 years ago. While these two had never farmed and never owned their own business, they are living proof that business ventures can happen at ANY point in your life. You never know when an interest or opportunity could turn into something amazing.

The Millers are not only committed to providing delicious, local apples, they are tremendous leaders and supporters of our local community as well as financial investors in Edwardsville CEO! Their level of community outreach, stellar integrity and kind hearts are amazing examples for our students.

Thank you SO much for the insightful conversation and delicious apples! You definitely put a pep in our step today!
