Welcome to Oertel's Roots Family Farm
About Our Farm
We are a small 5-acre family farm dedicated to growing high quality, heirloom and specialty produce. From starting the seeds, transplanting seedlings, nurturing the plants and finally harvesting our bounty by hand - we don't cut any corners! We are the farmers and pride ourselves in being beyond organic, in which we never use herbicides, pesticides, or GMO seed anywhere on our farm. Our end product is produce the way nature intended it. Our goal is to provide high nutrient content produce with amazing flavor by mainly growing heirloom varieties.

Grow
We carefully select our seeds that have not been genetically modified and maintain a healthy ecosystem to provide a healthy source of food. Simply putting seeds and seedlings into the ground by hand is a major investment of our time and energy.
Harvest
Here at Oertel's Roots Family Farm we hand pick produce that is in season at peak ripeness. The flavors speak volumes of the hard work we put into maintaining optimal growing conditions!
