Peckham Farms
CULTIVATING CROPS AND GROWING OPPORTUNITIES
Peckham Farms grows a diverse range of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers using a variety of modern and accessible farming practices, in nearly 98,000 square feet of high tunnels and greenhouse space. Our mission goes beyond efficient food production; we provide meaningful job training and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities and other barriers to work.
Agriculture is a cornerstone of Michigan’s economy, and Peckham Farms bridges the gap between this vital industry and a talented, yet underserved workforce. Our employees gain hands-on experience in all aspects of farming, from planting and harvesting to greenhouse operations. They also receive their own garden plots to grow food for their families.

COMMERCIAL SALES
We provide fresh, high-quality produce to retailers and institutional food service buyers in Michigan. Summer offerings such as strawberries, a variety of tomatoes and more, are available at local retailers. From growing and harvesting to packing and delivery, we handle every step of the process to ensure our farm products reach you at their best.
STRAWBERRY PRODUCTION
At Peckham Farms, we use the hydroponic tabletop method for strawberries, growing them in nutrient-rich water on elevated tables. This method improves air flow, simplifies maintenance, and cuts down on diseases and pesticide use. It maximizes space and produces high-quality fruit throughout the year with day-neutral varieties.
GROWING PRACTICES
Our passively heated greenhouses extend our growing season, allowing us to cultivate crops like strawberries and tomatoes. We prioritize soil and water health with proven practices and OMRI-listed products, ensuring both sustainable agriculture and valuable workforce development.
GROWING IN BAGS
At Peckham Farms, we use an innovative bag-growing method to cultivate high-quality, nutrient-rich produce. This technique allows us to optimize soil conditions and ensure plants receive just the right amount of water and nutrients for healthy growth. By growing in bags, we can better manage pests, reduce soil-borne diseases, and conserve resources, all while producing vibrant, flavorful fruits and vegetables. This sustainable approach also allows us to grow in areas with limited or poor natural soil, expanding opportunities to provide fresh, local produce to our community.
