The heyday of Tice and Van Riper farms

 

Here's a bit of nostalgia for the good old days. Many of us remember our visits to Tice's and Van Riper's on crisp fall days to get apples, cider and pumpkins. And that wonderful trough at Tice's where you could hold your cup up to the spiggot and get all the cider you could drink. Oh, and don't forget the fresh doughnuts. I remember my mother introducing me to the little old lady who ran the doughnut machine at Tice's. She had once been my mother's elementary school teacher many years ago!  

Alas, these wonderful old farms are no more. We think you'll enjoy reading about them in this article, which gives us a feeling for old New Jersey.

Those Burlington Girls!

They are the It Girls.

They all have "it" - that Burlington look - beautiful! I think it's mainly in the eyebrows and cheekbones, but there's also a certain je ne sais quoi.
