About the Farm

Background

For over a century, this family farming enterprise has been a cornerstone of the local community, known for its dedication to providing fresh, homegrown produce. The Veggie Stand, a part of this legacy, continues to uphold the tradition of quality and freshness, offering a wide variety of fruits and vegetables directly from the fields.

Practices

The farm employs a hands-on approach to ensure the highest quality of produce, including taste testing each variety before it is made available for sale. Crops like sweet corn are planted in succession every ten days to ensure a continuous supply of fresh produce throughout the summer. The emphasis is on local and super fresh offerings, with a selection that varies daily based on what is available from the fields and other local farms.

The Rest

Visitors can enjoy a unique shopping experience where they can see the produce growing in the field while they shop. The Veggie Stand also offers unpasteurized honey from Gallmeyer Farms and hosts summer field trips to educate groups about local food production. The farm provides a free play area for children, shaded picnic spots, and ensures a welcoming atmosphere with courteous staff. Note that pets are not allowed on the premises.
