Welcome

We grow a large variety of vegetables, raspberries, bedding plants, herbs.  Our booth at the market changes with the season starting out mostly with plants and then, produce slowly takes over the space.  We offer a large selection, specializing in peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, watermelon and cantaloupe.  In the fall pumpkins, squash and gourds are available.  Our main growing season is May through October.

Our products are available at the following Lincoln farmers markets.  Saturday at the Haymarket, Sunday at the Old Cheney Road farmers market, Wednesday at the Havelock farmers market and also at the Garden Market on Wednesday.  We also take orders by phone or email.

We began Selling at markets 25 years ago with the help of our teenage children.  Now our grandchildren help with the garden and in our booth.  They have learned to communicate with customers, count money back without the use of a calculator and how to earn money using their own hands.

We love to see our loyal customers returning each year.  It makes us feel great when we hear them say how much they enjoy our products.  We started with one card table 25 years ago and use two banquet tables plus a pickup loaded with melons, cantaloupe, pumpkins and squash.
