Linda Harrison-Parsons

renowned local nature & wildlife artist

Creator of our beautiful logo!

Image: Willow Oaks craft cider and wine logo, in which the "W" represents mountains, the dot over the "i" is the sun or moon, and the "k" is a tall apple sapling.

While Linda did the artwork, fellow artist Tracy Tousignaut Reed turned it into its graphic design. See more about Tracy further down the page.

We have long been proud supporters of local art. Country Pleasures Farm has hosted art shows for many years and will continue to welcome the arts as we open the tasting room at Willow Oaks. Art enriches our lives as it expands the beauty of the natural world to our interior spaces. Honored to count Linda Harrison-Parsons and Rick Parsons among our dearest friends, we cannot imagine having pulled Willow Oaks together without their support. Linda and Rick spent many an hour around our kitchen table plotting the course ahead. Hands and hearts have been ‘All In’, dreaming up cider names, tasting, bottling, picking fruit and providing a level headed ear to the creative process. Linda’s creative input birthed our nascent ideas into art. She designed our logo and created the original art on our labels.
