Where you can come back to the farm...
Founded by Lloyd and Harv Leighty (Lee-tee or Leek-tee, with the k being almost silent) in Newry, Pennsylvania in the early 1900s, the market grew to it’s present size around 1960, when Lloyd’s son, Don, took over the market after returning from military service. He immediately started expanding the produce business, growing it in stages, plus adding a giant greenhouse to sell bedding plants in 1976. The old adage of 'treat the customer the way you want to be treated' and 'stock nothing but the freshest product always with an eye on quality' has paid off. The market has thrived through the decades and added many product lines over the years. In 1993 Don’s daughter, Donna and her husband, Brian, took the market over and have continued in the tradition of stressing quality.
