The company started over 40 years ago as “Mike the Milkman”, one man and a truck. During Mike’s ownership, the company delivered only Lamers Dairy products with a focus on glass bottled milk. Some of us remember when most homes got milk delivered and most people have heard of those days. In the heart of dairy country, Mike was carrying on the tradition as one of the last milkmen in America! When Mike decided to retire 2014, three customers liked the service so much that they bought the company to maintain the service. The partners added a few more local products and changed the name to Farmers Best Home Delivery (FBHD). Unfortunately, they were unable to give the business the attention it needed due to other careers. So, in 2018, they sold it to us, Brian & Teri Gronski.
Brian's agricultural roots got started in 1976 when he and his two brothers sold 6 pumpkins from their Red Ryder wagon at the end of their driveway off Hwy41/141 just north of Green Bay in Suamico. This was the start of "The" Pumpkin Place which drew thousands of family's each fall getting their pumpkins and fall decorations, taking pictures and creating lifetime memories until 2018 when fate required us to close the farm. Teri joined in in 1989 and became a permanent part of the family farm when Brian and Teri married in September of 1992 and later getting her Master Gardener certification.
In 2011, Teri & I , along with our boys Christopher & Zach, started Groche Organic Farms dedicated to producing organic produce and grazed animals with the purchase of a 144 acre certified organic farm in Little Suamico. One of the biggest challenges we faced over the years as a small family vegetable farm was getting access to customers through traditional markets which had gone the route of sourcing industrial agriculture. We truly had limited ability to get our great produce and meats to our neighbors’ tables. As we networked with other local farmers and value-add producers, we found they too had the same challenge. Lifestyles today were seeming to demand more convenience. When the opportunity was presented to us to purchase Farmers Best Home Delivery, we though it would be a great way to get great tasting, nutritious, local foods to our neighbors in a convenient manor.
We are a family founded in the beliefs of Faith, Family, Friends, Fellowship, and Fun. We believe in our community and want it to thrive. Our commitment is to be your trusted local food resource and to make access easier than ever before to great local foods. Zach, Brian, Teri, and Christopher Gronski
