Local Produce

Our Produce department carries products from numerous local farmers, when in season, and when the crops turn out. During the summer and early fall months you may find fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables from:

Brentlinger's Farm Market: The best corn around is locally grown in New Carlisle by brothers Ray and Tom Brentlinger on a fourth-generation family farm. Ray applies his agricultural degree from The Ohio State University in his search for the sweetest varieties of corn. This Honestly Better® corn is hand-picked daily and delivered seven days a week for maximum freshness and sweetness.

Brickel Creek Organic Farm: A certified organic farm located in Jamestown owned by the Fecteau family, who deliver their fruits and vegetables daily when in season.

Dale Stokes Raspberry Farm: Black raspberries and strawberries grown near Wilmington.

Dave Stolz: DLM has been buying his cantaloupes and pumpkins, grown in New Carlisle, for over 30 years, first from his dad John, and now from Dave.

Don Moore: DLM's original hydroponic tomato farmer. He grew his tomatoes in Xenia about 30 years ago. He is retired but still has a patch on which he grows the blackberries that we buy from him during the growing season.

Logan Organic Produce: Henry and his group of fellow Amish farmers are new to Dorothy Lane Market, as of 2007. Each farmer specializes in different fruits and vegetables. So be on the lookout for wonderful local organic produce from Logan, Ohio.

Preble County Farms: Specializing in tomatoes, cantaloupes, and other vegetables.
