Farms, orchards and agritourism in Fairview
Working farms still anchor Fairview, and the busiest stretch runs from apple picking through the fall festival season when a farm opens its gates to the public. Those Fairview bookings need standard units at the parking field entrance plus a handwashing station near the cider or food stand.
Livestock and produce operations around Fairview also rent through planting and harvest for seasonal crews. A Fairview farm keeps the unit on the barn pad or the packing shed gravel, which is the ground that carries a service truck when the field rows will not.
Building in the Fairview coves
New houses in Fairview go up on cove land off Garren Creek, Old Fort Road and the ridges above Cane Creek, where the last quarter mile is private gravel. A Fairview driver plans for the first level bench and leaves the unit there rather than attempting a turnaround that does not exist.
Renovation and septic work keeps the rest of the Fairview residential calendar busy. Those jobs are short, so a Fairview order is often one standard unit with a single mid-project service, extended when the crew is held up waiting on inspection.
Storm damage and Fairview access
The coves above Fairview slid badly in the 2024 storm and some access roads were rebuilt from the base up. Tree and grading crews working those Fairview slopes keep a unit on site for weeks, and the driver checks the approach each visit because the road surface keeps changing.
Ordinary weather still governs the Fairview week. Heavy rain saturates the Cane Creek bottom and makes the gravel coves greasy, so Fairview placements favor hard surfaces, and winter ice on the shaded north slopes moves those stops to the afternoon.
