Wagners Market

By: Elwood Blue (Apr 7, 2010)
OK, first of all I love Wagners produce, but if you are looking for locally grown produce on their own farm, this is a bit deceptive. They get produce from many different farmers, some corporate farms. I checked on their "Homeade Pie Fillings" and they were made in Illinois.

With that said, they have darn good produce at exceptional prices. When I freeze and can each year I go to Wagners to buy my produce in bulk. I can walk out with a 50 lb bag of potatoes for $5 or a 20lb bag of beets, bushels of tomatoes. I can get amazing green peppers, hot peppers, tomatoes, brussel sprouts, etc all in small or very large quantities. Last year I bought a ton of little decorative pumpkins and gourds for a church function and I think I paid about a quarter a piece. I love their store/stand, but be mindful that this place is more a business than a altruistic organic environmental family farm stand.
