WhO We Are
Generations of Good Food
The Ruter farm was established in 1959 by Martin and Gladys Ruter. In 1974 Paul took over at the age of 16 and has been knee deep in the dirt ever since. Only the choicest produce makes it to your table and usually harvested same day (sweet corn is always same day!). When you swing by to pick up your order, you very well could see the 5th generation lending a hand too, despite only being waist high.
