Joanna King (R-Middlebury) (second from left) presents Kercher's Sunrise Orchards and the Kercher family with a formal certificate recognizing the business' 100th anniversary on Monday, April 11, 2022.

The orchard is operated by the fourth and fifth generations of the family. Together, they grow apples, sweet corn, pumpkins, squash, cabbage, broccoli and peaches.
"As a small-business owner, I know the hard work and perseverance it takes to be successful," King said. "I'm thankful for the Kercher family's commitment to educating our young Hoosiers on the importance of agriculture, and providing fresh fruits and vegetables across our community. I wish them nothing but continued success in the future and I'm so thankful they call Goshen home."
