GREENVILLE, Mich. — Frugthaven Farm in Greenville announced Thursday that one of the owners, April Petersen, passed away unexpectedly.
Petersen's death was announced in a Facebook post on the farm's page, saying that she has "left a space that no one will be able to fill."
"While we are heartbroken, we ask for privacy and respect for her family as they process and grieve," the post reads.
Frugthaven Farm was founded in 2019 after Mike and April Petersen spontaneously purchased the 75-acre property. They learned about growing apples and bought the equipment necessary to create the farm.
The farm now offers a market, café, donuts, hard cider tasting and more. It also acts as a wedding and event venue.
The Cidery will be closed this weekend. All scheduled weddings will continue as planned. The farm is asking for prayers during this time.
There will be a celebration of life and funeral service for Petersen at the farm on Tuesday, Oct. 10. Details can be found here.
