Janice Riley grew up in the small community of Gardners, Pennsylvania which is located just outside of Carlisle. She spent a lot of time “picking apples, picking up potatoes, weeding gardens, picking strawberries and trimming trees” on a farm owned by her grandparents.
It’s where she “learned how to maintain a garden and orchard, learned a work ethic and learned how to be effective and efficient all at the same time.” One such lesson was delivered by her father when she was about ten years old and it remains etched in her memory to this day.
