At Lester’s Farm Market, we grow many things - including traditions. Our farm is where you and your family get your pumpkin in the fall, the place your children beg you to go every Sunday, it’s where you go to get your yearly strawberries and the place where getting lost in a maze is fun. It’s where you had your first tractor ride and the place where you go to get your pictures every fall, it's where you go for your flowers, veggies and more.

We started this food blog with the help of our amazing staff who are always thinking up new ways to enjoy our fresh produce! We hope you enjoy these recipes as much as our families do.

So come along and make your own traditions with us at Lester’s Farm Market - where family traditions also grow!
