Funks Farms was founded in 1873 by Amos G. Funk. As a dairy farmer, Amos delivered milk door to door throughout Millersville and Lancaster County. The farm was sustained by two generations to follow.

Finally, in 1963 the open-air farm market was formed by Frederick Funk. He diligently built the business reinvesting all of its profits back into it. In 1972, the market was enclosed providing security and protection from the elements. In the early 80’s, over 240 acres of produce were being harvested. Today there are over 1.2 acres of growing greenhouses, more than a half acre of retail greenhouses, and over 2.5 acres of Nursery and Perrenial areas. The other retail areas exceed12,500 square feet. His hard work and determination has paid off.

In 2002, Funks incorporated as Funk’s Farm Market & Garden Center, Inc. Frederick Funk was named president. Today he is still active in the everyday operations of the business.

After successfully providing customers with quality products for over 40 years, we have established strong roots in the local community.

With the recent change in consumer concern regarding healthier eating, including less preservatives and less chemicals, Funk’s Farm Market’s involvement in community wellbeing is even further stregnthened. The public is aware more now that ever of the tremendous nutritional benefit of eating farm fresh produce. Also, Americans are spending a higher percentage of their disposable income on ornamental horticulture. Most Europeans spend three times higher percentage of their income on flowers and plants per capita. It is extremely common for European industry trends to flow through to American soil.
