After the fruit is harvested, Riley's mother, Charlotte, cans the fruit for use throughout the year. She makes preserves, and she gives them as gifts for special occasions. Charlotte sells some of her preserves 10 Kurt Simmons, the owner of a local shop. People come from all over the county to buy Charlotte's preserves. Riley's Aunt Fay, grows corn, tomatoes, beans, and squash in her garden. Each year, she selects her best vegetables, and enters them in the fair.
