Morris Co. Orchard Owner Admits To Groping Teens: Report

RANDOLPH, NJ — A Randolph apple orchard owner has admitted to groping two teenage employees, the Daily Record reported.

Philip Green, the owner of Sun High Orchards in Randolph and known as "Farmer Phil," pleaded guilty to two counts of fourth-degree abuse-neglect of a child, and was sentenced to three years probation. He must undergo psychological treatment and cannot have unsupervised contact with underage employees, the report said.

Green was first arrested last September, and suspended from work at the orchard by his wife shortly after.

According to its website, Sun High Orchards on Canfield Avenue is a pick-your-own apple orchard that sells produce, home-baked goods and apple pies and offers seasonal hayrides and pumpkin patches.
