About The Farm
A family farm for more than 100 years, Gagel's started as a traditional truck farm located on Greenwood Road, growing vegetables to be taken to market first by horse-drawn wagon and later, by truck.
Gagel's once shipped vegetables as far away as Minneapolis, St. Louis, and Chicago.
Over time, the farm's focus has shifted more towards floriculture.
Located on 11.5 acres in southwest Jefferson County, Gagel's growing and retail facility is comprised of
20 joined greenhouses that form the main range with an additional 17 "stand alone" houses for a total
of close to 100,000 sq ft of production space.
Our seeding and cutting propagation facilities (left) utilize state of the art water automation, fertilization, and both heat and light manipulation. Gagels produces roughly
5 million bedding plants annually.
We still retain our traditional farming roots by growing field kale, yellow squash, zucchini,
tomatoes, and Kentucky Limestone Bibb Lettuce.
In our Kentucky Farm Bureau Certified Farm Market, we carry local produce including corn, yellow squash, berries,
potatoes, onions, kale, Kentucky Limestone Bibb lettuce, tomatoes, apples, cucumbers, pickles, beans, local honey & pollen, and much more.
We grow our own produce or purchase it directly from farmers/local produce centers to ensure the freshest and highest quality product.
