Farmer Profile:
Ralph and Ann Frye
As you drive up the tree-lined driveway of Ralph
and Ann Frye’s 189-acre dairy
farm
it’s hard not to be caught staring into the distance
at the beautiful sun kissed rolling hills. The
Fryes have been on their farmland since February
1976 and have been shipping milk to Turner’s since
that time.
