Knotts Berry Farm and the power of practical dreaming!

+


Here’s a nice story about how far you can go with the power of dreams and doing things you believe in. Once upon a time in the 1920’s in the small town of Buena Park in Palm Springs, California, there was a family of farmers who decided to get a roadside stand and they started selling some berries, berry plants and pies. Business kept rolling steadily, and in the next decade the Knott family introduced the first innovation – they started selling a new innovative kind of berry. During the next decades, they progressively stated selling new products, and eventually the business had become so sucessful that Mr. Knott decided to build a ghost town in the property, to keep the long lines of customers entertained while they waited for service. Fast forward to the 1970’s, and Knott’s Berry Farm had already become a top-notch amusement park, regularly visited by Walt Disney himself, who thoroughly enjoyed the uniqueness of the place.

Well, this just goes to say… if you someday find yourself thinking about getting a roadside stand or something of the sort, don’t let yourself think it’s a dumb idea, because you never know how things might turn out in the long run. I’ve become so excited about this inspirational story that I’ve felt compelled to check out the Trusted Tours and Attractions page about Knotts berry farm tickets, and I might just head out towards the Orange County, this summer still.
