we pride ourselves on being able to supply you with fresh produce
that will meet your exacting specifications. Grant Family Farms
plants, nurtures and harvests over 2500 acres, and we have sufficient
volume to supply you with either organic or conventional items.
We have two principal lines - our summer and fall harvests. In
the spring and summer our signature item is our Savoy spinach -
there is none better. However, we also grow leaf lettuce, Romaine,
broccoli, parsley, cilantro, chards collards and a host of other
greens. In the fall we harvest a cornucopia of colorful squash.
It includes the most well known squash such as butternut, acorn
and spaghetti, as well as many of the lesser known varieties that
add color and interest to fall displays.
