Shelton —
If Jones Family Farms doesn’t get more Facebook fans than Bishop’s Orchards in Guilford by Thanksgiving, owner Jamie Jones will end up dressed from head to toe in Bishop’s gear working on that farm come Christmas time.
The two farms are battling for the most Facebook fans, and loser has to spend a day working on the other farm.
The competition is part high-school-like rivalry, part charity drive and part advertising.
“Word of mouth advertising is the greatest advertising. And now word of mouth is electronic,” said Keith Padin, a spokesperson for Jones Family Farms.
