All about Martel Farm
Martel Farm has been a small family farm since about 1995. We started planting fruit trees in hopes that we could teach our 4 children to work.
We planted our first orchard the day before my last child was born. He is now 31 years old. Where did the time go.
We had goats, chickens, pigs, rabbits, Turkeys, ducks and once we raised a cow.
We planted our peach orchard of 144 trees.
Now we have a flourishing farm with plenty of trees, grape vines and gardens.
The harvest begins
By the truck load
We started doing farmers market to sell garden produce and peaches. We did the Provo market Saturday morning back when the Provo market was brand new.
Now we do Farmers Markets all over the valley. This coming summer we will do 4 markets a week. Monday-Springville, Wednesday-Orem, Thursday-Lindon and Saturday-Provo. Come to the markets and find all sorts of amazing things. Fresh produce picked that day or the day before. You can’t beat that kind of freshness.
We don’t only work hard, we Play hard. Joe and Barbara love doing Triathlons and going to Lake Powell.
