The Lengel Brothers Way
We are a third generation farm growing up with dairy cows and crops like corn, oats, wheat, soybeans, and hay. We started vegetables back in 2005 growing just a few in the beginning. Later we started growing many more varieties and started working with two food service companies that provide meals at Grove City College and Slippery Rock University. That is when we started our plastic culture style of growing. Using raised beds with plastic mulch, drip irrigation, and unheated greenhouses we were able to grow faster and provide longer seasons for fresh and local vegetables. We buy our tree fruit from Dawson's Orchards to have seasonal fruits available to purchase. We attend five farms, and have a few farm stands in the area and provide a CSA (community supported agriculture) cooperative on the farm.
