About Us — Orie's Farm Fresh

03 Nov.,2023

 

Wes grew up in the garden center business in Wichita. As a kid, Wes remembers helping his grandfather, Orie Johnson, in the greenhouse filling seed trays, sowing seeds, and taking cuttings. When he got older, he was the greenhouse manager for a number of years before moving to Oklahoma to start his own greenhouse business.

After a time, Wes decided to move his family back closer to home and settled in Hesston, Kansas. There he started Hesston Plant Company, a wholesale greenhouse operation that grew annuals, perennials, poinsettias, and bougainvillea — to name a few things. He owned and operated Hesston Plant Company for more than twenty years before selling it in 2014.

As a grower, Wes has enjoyed the shifted focus to food crops. He finds the entire process of production — from seed to plate — very satisfying and the results speak for themselves.

Locally produced and naturally grown food has unmatched flavor. Freshly harvested produce is not only better tasting, it has more intact nutrients. It’s been a fulfilling journey to share the harvest with family and community.
