MARKESAN, WI - Another win for celery fans has been announced as Alsum Farms & Produce grower partner Trembling Prairie Farms’ new crop of Wisconsin celery began harvesting. With the season in full swing, the supplier expects it to last through the first week of October.
“We’re happy to be able to bring our locally grown Wisconsin Celery to the market,” said John Bobek, farmer and Owner of Trembling Prairie Farms. “Whether paired with peanut butter as a healthy kid-friendly snack or chopped in a salad for an outdoor gathering, Wisconsin Celery offers a fresh taste for consumers looking for locally grown in the Midwest.”
Trembling Prairie Farms is family owned and operated by Bobek, his wife Connie, and their four children in Markesan, Wisconsin. According to a release, the Bobek family has been growing and packing locally grown celery in the muck soils of Green Lake County for Midwest retail and foodservice markets for over a decade.
The process of growing celery starts in local greenhouses from late February to early April. It is then transplanted in 12 different plantings. Celery planting begins on May 1, with the goal of the last planting to be in the ground by July 1.
Trembling Prairie Farms Wisconsin-grown celery is available for distribution with ample volume of all sizes and packs available for the next 11 weeks, including 24 count naked or sleeved, 30 count naked or sleeved, 36 count naked or sleeved, and 18 count celery hearts.
