Our story begins in the aftermath of World War II, when Rob's grandparents arrived with little more than their eighth-grade educations and a dream. With grit and determination, they transformed a single acre of land into a flourishing 15-acre wholesale nursery. Their hard work laid the groundwork for what would become a staple in our local community, supplying greenery to some of the most renowned theme parks in the area. This narrative isn't just about agriculture; it's a testament to the belief that there are no limits to what we can achieve.
On Rob's mother's side, the legacy was just as rich. His great grandfather, known to all in Sanford, was renowned for his prowess in vegetable farming. The Meriwether name was synonymous with quality and community spirit—a legacy we honor and continue.
Looking ahead, we're driven by the same ethos that has sustained our family for generations. We're innovating, adapting, and growing, but always with an eye on the traditions that have brought us this far.
We invite you to be part of our ongoing journey. When you choose Farmer Rob's, you're not just buying vegetables; you're becoming part of a legacy that celebrates hard work, quality produce, and the spirit of Sanford.
