Description: Just outside of Granville, Illinois in the little community of Mark, Denise and Keith Boggio operate Boggio's Little Mountain Orchard. Both children of produce marketing families, the Boggios grow an amazing array of products, from fruits and vegetables to dried flowers, honey, and their famous nationally-award-winning apple cider. The in-house market bakery produces breads, pies, and other baked goods (try the apple sticks!).

Children love visiting the Boggio petting zoo and corn maze. During the busy season, class field trips arrive daily from as far away as Chicago, each one gleefully escorted by Princess, the Boggios' feisty and resourceful “min-pin”
dog. “Entertainment farming,” is the term Denise likes to use for their operation; entertainment indeed.
