Hi Friends!

I just wanted to let you all know how we are doing. Retirement has been good for my family. Connie and I just got back from a yearly camping trip up north and I’ve enjoyed a few fishing trips over the summer.

This summer I made a small garden for my family and grandkids and as most things do, I got carried away with the planting of pumpkins and fall vegetables….

We’ve decided to OPEN the market for Halloween.

Items we will have available:
⁃ Pumpkins
⁃ Corn stalks and other decorating supplies
⁃ Gourds
⁃ Straw
⁃ Winter Squash
⁃ Potatoes
⁃ Beets (while they last)

We plan to be open THIS Saturday from 10 am - 7 pm.

After that, weekends from 10 am - 7 pm and weekdays from 12 pm - 7 pm.

Cash or check accepted. No credit cards.

We have missed you all stopping by the market.

See you soon!

The family-owned farm was known for growing fresh vegetables and fruit, including sweet corn.

06/13/2024

After 125 years of sowing seeds, tending crops, and nurturing our land, the time has come for our family farm to retire. For over a century, Ives Gardens has been a testament to hard work, dedication, and a love for the land.

The decision to close the market was not made lightly and as we reflect on the past 125 years of Ives Gardens; we are filled with gratitude for the countless blessings it has brought to our family and community.

We want to express a HUGE thank you to everyone who's been a part of our journey:
- To our loyal customers, neighbors, and friends who have supported us over the years, we extend our deepest thanks. Your support has been the backbone of our operation, and we are forever grateful for your friendship and support.
- To our employees: Without you, we would never have been able to serve the community like we did. I have seen many young men and women grow and develop a work ethic that cannot be matched but on a farm.
- To our family and friends: You've cheered us on during the good times and held us up during the tough ones. Without you, none of this would have been possible.

The memories made on this land will stay with us forever - the sunrises over the fields, the laughter of harvest season, and the incredible sense of community we've built together. While Ives Gardens may be closing, the values of hard work, dedication, and love for the land will always be a part of our family legacy.

As for what's next? I plan to do a little more fishing and spend more quality time with my wife, Connie, our children, and six grandchildren. From the bottom or OUR HEARTS, WE thank you.
