In the beginning there was corn and it was good.  It all began in 1998 when Paul, wanted to grow sweet corn like he did as a teenager.  Our first customers found our corn in a bathtub in our corncrib turned garage with a peanut butter money jar for self-service.  That first year we sold over 500 dozen and Detwiler Veggie Farm was established.
    In 2004 we expanded and became Mitchell’s farm in Plain City, this is part of Shelly’s family farm that has been in the family for almost 200 years.  The following spring we planted more than 2500 raspberries by hand on almost 3 acres.  We planted Mac Black and Jewell which are our black varieties and Caroline our fall red.  
    The black varieties were planted in plastic covered beds to decrease our use of chemical weed control.   Between the rows are eight foot grass covered aisles.  Drip irrigation is installed beneath the beds and used to provide adequate water and nutrients to the berries.
    Since then we've added a couple rows of fall gold, Jake's  berries and this spring due to your requests  we will add500 plants of a red raspberry to bridge the gap between black season and fall red.  
  We hope you'll also enjoy our edamame soybeans, red peppers, pumpkins, gourds.   Our family loves sharing with others where food comes from and our agricultural roots.
    We hope you’ll come taste the difference!

Jake, Luke, Shelly & Paul Detwiler
