The Correll Farm has been in the family for 4 generations and over 100 years, and until November 2005 was a dairy farm and wholesale tomato operation. Currently we are raising beef cattle, dairy heifers, tomatoes for wholesale, and many vegetables and some fruits to sell at local Farmers Markets, as well as at our farm.
Our goal is to create a family friendly business where our children can share in the rewards of farming and we can work together as a family. We take great pride in selling only the highest quality produce, with all items grown on our farm. Our children help with the planting, growing, harvest and selling of our crops, so food safety is extremely important to us.
