Didier Farms has been a family farm since 1912.  Originally, the farm raised dairy and livestock, then later vegetables.  Now, the farm has three seasons with our Greenhouse, Farmstand and Pumpkin Festival.

Our greenhouse is open from the end of April to July.  We grow all our own annuals and hanging baskets.  We also carry perennials, vegetable plants and a selection of flowering tropical vines and bushes.

In the summer, we begin to harvest our home-grown vegetables; green beans, peppers, zucchini, broccoli, tomatoes, and cauliflower to name a few.

We specialize in growing the best sweet corn in Lake County.  Our produce could not be fresher, as it comes straight from our fields to our farmstand.  When autumn arrives, our pumpkins, gourds, indian corn, squash and cabbage are ready to be picked.  Didier Farms Pumpkin Festival runs from September 22 to October 31, 2007.

Come and join us through out the seasons!
You are always WELCOME here at Didier Farms!
