Blueberry
season is Graham Moore’s favorite time of year, thanks to fruit grown on his
family’s farm in upstate New York. Selling that harvest became Moore’s summer
job.
“We
would love for him to pick all the blueberries, but he ends up eating all the
blueberries instead,” said Phillippa Orzulak, Moore’s mom. “Graham would take a
little trolley around our neighborhood in Greenwich go door-to-door and
that is how we started, like that.”
The
project that started with berries in plain plastic bags has now graduated to an
entire brand
Profits
from Grahamberries support the work of
Abilis, which provides programs for
people with developmental disabilities, including jobs at the organizations
gift and garden store.
“It's
incredible, it's incredible people have been looking at our website, calling,
“When are the blueberries starting?” said Amy Montimurro, CEO and president of
Abilis. “They look forward to seeing Graham and all of his friends.”
