About our guest

Our guest for this episode is Jeff Roba, President of Roba Family Farms and Lakeland Orchard.

What began as a dream started by his parents has steadily grown into one of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s favorite year-round destinations. In this conversation, we explore Jeff’s unique path back home, how he met his wife Juls while working on the farm, and the unique dynamics that come with working in a family-owned business.

This was such a great conversation and covers a wide range of interesting topics. Jeff shares the importance of understanding the difference between value and price when creating a great customer experience, why the simple idea of treating others the way you would want to be treated is a guiding principle for their business, and how “tight feedback loops” help him and his team execute, improve, and adapt. We also discuss how the size of their operation has evolved over the years and what it takes to scale a business while preserving and protecting it’s core values.

Finally, we talk about everything they have to offer visitors this year, look ahead to the future, and discuss how they plan to continue creating memorable experiences for tens of thousands of families each year.

Thanks to Jeff for sitting down with us, and we hope you enjoy the episode!
