“WE’VE GOT a co-op that co-ops,” grinned Lucio Kilby, waving a hand that encompassed a beehive of activities at the apple packing shed at Sperryville. “All the other co-ops in Rappahanock didn’t co-op, and now we’re the only big operation left.”
A large packing shed at Flint Hill, and another one on Route 211 near the High School, both have “For Sale” signs on them, but Kilby says the Sperryville operation has enough business to keep up to 20 people busy all through the winter.
“We’ll pack about 100,000 bushels this year, which is fair,” says Kilby, “ending up next April or May. Then there’s machinery to tend to, and accounting and bookkeeping, and getting the place straightened out, and then we’ll start all over again about next August 15.”
