TAMWORTH — Most people know Bob King as Madison’s Police Chief and Jessie Dubuque as a biologist with the White Mountain National Forest.
The couple, both 43, are embarking on a new adventure and that’s owning an apple orchard called Hollow Hill Farm. Bob said after 22 years in law enforcement he plans to retire in August so he can concentrate on the orchard, which is about 12 acres and has 230 apple trees and will soon have bees.
