Good Harvest Farms | Being Fresh Is Our Business

Humble Beginnings

Chris Powell's first job was hauling apple crates from the field to the barn after school – a job he enjoyed. That led to bigger, better jobs, with more responsibility. After working through high school and being a partner for six years, Chris felt it was time to invest in his own plot of land. In 1990, Good Harvest Farms was founded.    

Chris began wholesaling vegetables and flowers through auctions and stores. While successful, he felt the real goal should be selling his crops directly to the consumer. His small roadside stand soon grew much bigger. With the help of his wife Cindy, Good Harvest Farms continued to grow and they eventually joined with the Lancaster County Farmer's Market. The business has grown 10-fold since 1990 – mainly because Chris listens to what his customers want – the freshest fruits and vegetables available. In 2000, Good Harvest Farms added hydroponic lettuce and herbs to the mix. The only way to get fresher produce is to grow it in your own back yard.

"Being Fresh is our Business," and we will continue to grow what our customers want.
