About Meck's Produce
Five generations, one family, a deep love for the land and Lancaster County.
Who We Are
A Heritage Rich in Growing
The Meck family desires to see the Lord honored and glorified and are blessed by the miracle of His creation. We have also been blessed by a heritage rich with raising fresh produce and marketing it directly to other families in Lancaster County — a tradition going back five generations.
Meck's Produce, Inc. provides the freshest, most flavorful fruits and vegetables year-round, at a great price. Our produce is grown on our 60-acre, family-owned and operated farm in Southern Lancaster County — the 1,000th preserved farm in Lancaster County!
We are dedicated to supreme quality and the preservation of our crops. We love what we do and pride ourselves in providing you with exceptionally fresh tasting food for your families.
Our History
How We Got Here
1960
The Meck family begins operating a stand at Lancaster Central Market, then known as "Widders" after Irwin and Ruth Widders. Five generations of farming heritage come together in Lancaster County.
1990
Bob Meck, son-in-law of the Widders, takes over the family market stand and begins expanding their presence at Lancaster Central Market.
2002
Bob, along with wife Rose and sons Ryan & Rob, form a partnership called Meck's Produce. The same year, the family purchases the farm on Beaver Valley Pike (Rt. 222), between Strasburg and Quarryville.
2015
Meck's Produce proudly opens its own year-round Farm Market in Strasburg, PA — now offering produce, baked goods, dairy, grass-fed beef, deli, and so much more.
Today
Meck's Produce continues to grow, serving families across Lancaster County with the finest local produce, celebrating their farm as the 1,000th preserved farm in the county.
Local, sustainable food is the best choice for your health. We are local farmers you can trust — so safeguard your family's health and rest easy knowing where your food originated from and how it was grown.

On the Farm
How we grow — sustainable, chemical-free, and committed to the land for future generations.
Our Philosophy
Good Stewards of the Land
We believe that we need to be good stewards of the land that God has blessed us with in Lancaster County — which has some of the richest, most fertile soil in the world!
With this in mind we have adopted several practices to help ensure the sustainability of our farm along with conserving this rich soil for future generations.
We prohibit the use of harmful chemical pesticides to comply with sustainable agriculture because it is our goal to give you the best product we can grow.
Sustainable Agriculture
How We Farm
🚜
No-Till Farming
We employ no-till farming methods to preserve soil structure and reduce erosion, keeping the rich Lancaster County soil healthy for future generations.
🌾
Cover Cropping
Cover crops protect and enrich our soil between growing seasons, reducing weeds, preventing erosion, and improving soil fertility naturally.
📐
Field Contouring
We use field contouring techniques to conserve soil, control water runoff, and protect the integrity of our 60 acres of farmland.
🐛
Integrated Pest Management
Our IPM approach helps manage insect pests, plant diseases, and weeds with minimal environmental impact — no harmful chemical pesticides.
♻️
Biodegradable Mulch
We've converted to biodegradable plastic mulch to significantly reduce the waste produced on our farm — a meaningful step for our environment.
💧
Hydroponic Greenhouse
Our state-of-the-art hydroponic greenhouse produces "living lettuces" year-round in a completely chemical-free environment with less water waste.
Our Promise
What "Local" and "Fresh" Mean to Us
🌿 When We Say "Local"
We have obtained these items from someone we know has produced that product themselves in the Lancaster County or surrounding area. We know our neighbors and our farmers.
✨ When We Say "Fresh"
It means we provide only those products of the highest quality that are as fresh as they can possibly be from suppliers we know and trust. No compromises.
