Organics
We are not certified organic, but we use many low-input and pesticide-free practices whenever possible. These include compost-based fertility, natural and biological controls for insects and diseases, plant-derived insecticides, and beneficial predator insects.
Conventional pesticides are only used as a last resort to prevent a total crop loss. These decisions are made through careful field scouting and only when significant pest pressure is present.
Our Crops
We grow for quality and flavor—not just yield. By focusing on soil health and selecting the right varieties, our crops often have higher brix levels (natural sugars), better flavor, and longer shelf life.
Crops we grow include sweet corn, tomatoes, peppers, cantaloupe, watermelon, summer and winter squash, zucchini, cucumbers, eggplant, honeydew, green beans, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower.

About Our Farm
Wishwell Farms is part of a larger family operation, with grain farming covering approximately 1,400 acres and vegetables grown on about 60 acres.
What began as a few acres of sweet corn sold from the family garage has grown into a full-time operation that supports our family year-round. Today, we employ up to 30–35 seasonal team members during peak season.
We market our produce through multiple farmers’ markets and two satellite locations, allowing us to reach customers across the region.
Greenhouse Tomatoes
Our greenhouse tomatoes are vine-ripened and harvested multiple times per week to ensure peak freshness and flavor. Unlike typical store-bought tomatoes that are picked early for shipping, ours are allowed to ripen naturally on the vine.
They offer the same great taste as a garden tomato, grown under cover to allow for earlier harvests and consistent quality. While customers wait for their own gardens to produce, we’re proud to offer a local, homegrown tomato that is fresh, flavorful, and reliable.
Relish
Our relish is made in our certified on-farm kitchen using our own homegrown vegetables. It is produced in small batches several times per year to ensure quality and consistency.
Pricing
Some of our prices may be higher than those found in grocery stores or other markets. We price our products to reflect the quality of our produce and the true cost of growing it.
Producing fruits and vegetables requires significant investment in labor, equipment, and inputs. We focus on delivering value through superior flavor, freshness, and quality, and we stand behind our product.
