Description
At first the farm produced celery and lettuce for the retail market. In time though, this proved to have its ups and downs. To provide some price stability, Pete decided to enter the processing business supplying stick celery to soup manufacturers and canning companies. A decade later he built a processing plant that enabled him to provide sliced and diced celery as well as sticks. In 1995 the freezer was added which allowed the farm to provide IQF celery to our customers.
Since its inception over fifty years ago, Leach Farms has always made a specialty of growing celery. While we continue to grow other crops, celery has always been our specialty. From the very beginning celery was found to thrive both on the farms muck soils and in the generally cool microclimate on the south shore of Lake Poygan.
