Les and Christy Payton are back
in the produce business, and
this time they’re better
prepared to succeed. But the
Paytons are bringing more than
|
|
fresh fruit and vegetables back into the
community.
They’re bringing hope to individuals and
families who have also struggled. Three
years ago, the Payton family — Les, 42,
Christy, 37 and their four children, now
ages 7-17 — started selling produce at
Bonnie Doble’s Longview farm on Pacific
Way. But Doble’s highly publicized
zoning conflict with the city last year
forced the Paytons to move to another
site off West Side Highway north of
Kelso.
