For over 50 years, our family has been growing and selling quality fruits and vegetables in local farmers markets in South Central Pennsylvania. Being a family owned and operated business, we pride ourselves in striving to give our customers the finest quality and freshest produce available throughout the entire year.

We are fortunate to have fertile farmland here in Lancaster County. Our soil produces some of the highest quality fruits and vegetables from late spring through the end of November.

Whenever possible, our produce is home grown, meaning raised within a few miles of our markets, much of which is from Amish or Mennonite farmers. During the summer months, over 75% of our produce is grown locally.

Our Fruit Baskets and Vegetable Baskets are created the day the order is shipped - your guarantee that the fruit and vegetable products purchased from us will always be fresh and delicious.

Down on the Farm
Our 35 acre farm is located in Washington Boro, PA, in the heart of Lancaster County. The pictures below will give you a glimpse of what is growing "Down on the Farm", thanks to the help of lots of family members!

It's the start of planting season. The tomato and pepper plants are taken from the greenhouse to the field where they are to be planted. (2002)	Three year-old Grace Heinrich (neice) sits on the tractor and informs the workers of where she wants things planted. (2002)	With the flatbed wagon already empty, Grace is anxious to go pick up the next load of plants. (2002)
Tammy Faye Hudak (sister) helps to plant the grape tomatoes. (2002)	Niece Cortney waters the Swiss Chard after it has just been planted. (2002)	Merv, Tammy Faye and Jack hard at work setting peppers and tomatoes. (2002)
By the first of July, these tomatoes have been planted, staked, suckered and continuously tied to add support for the large amounts of tomatoes that will be produced. (2001)	Doug and Merv posing for mug shots after spending 10 hours tying up tomatoes. (2001)	Grape tomato plants as far as the eye can see. Each of the yellow blossoms will yield a grape tomato. All of our tomatoes are staked and tied, which explains what we have been doing every weekend for the past two months. (2001)
Son Adam Wentz picking cherry tomatoes (his favorite pastime!). During the summer months, Adam is a huge help in picking, washing and sorting the grape and cherry tomatoes. (2003)	It's now mid-July, and you can see how much the crop has matured in just 3 weeks. Here's Doug checking out the grape tomato plants. They're taller than what he is! Makes a great place to play Hide-N-Seek with the kids! (2001)	Clusters of grape tomatoes hanging on the plants. It will be about 7-10 days before these tomatoes are ripe enough to pick. All of our tomatoes are hand picked. (2001)
Our fearless leader (and founder) Bob Keagy is 71 years old, and still works in the fields and markets six days a week. Bob is shown here helping to tie the tomatoes to their wooden stakes for support. (2001)	A few weeks ago, these plants were only up to his knees. Here's Merv checking out the blossom sets on the yellow bottle tomatoes. To give you some idea of the size of these plants, Merv is 6'4" tall, and he and the tomatoes are now seeing eye-to-eye! (2001)	Our basil crop growing happily beside the tomato and pepper plants. If we had planted onions in this area, it would have been one-stop shopping when making spaghetti sauce! (2001)
Because of their fragility, some of the plants must be cultivated by hand, using a hoe and some good old-fashioned muscle power. (2001)	Here's Adam again - this time planting the cauliflower and broccoli crops for fall. It's a toss-up to determine if he'd rather do this or pick, wash and sort the cherry and grape tomatoes! (2003)	Grandma Keagy would have been thrilled to see all the miniature stuffing peppers waiting to be picked. Here, one plant has 30-40 peppers that will be harvested in about two weeks. Locals typically stuff these baby bells with shredded cabbage, then and can them in a sweet-n-sour brine. (2001)
Hungarian Yellow Wax peppers hang heavily on the plant. These long yellow peppers are not quite has hot as their cousins, Jalepeno and Habenero, but are still very spicy. (2001)	Hungarian Yellow Wax peppers ready to be picked. (2001)	Red, ripe and ready to be picked, grape tomatoes require harvesting every 5 to 7 days. (2001)
Here you can see how the grape tomatoes grow in clusters. Aren't they beautiful? (2001)	Huge heads of Red Leaf Lettuce being cut and taken to market. (2002)	The Okra plants begin to blossom and set fruit by early July. Okra grows very rapidly, and needs harvested twice weekly. (2002)
