George and Betty Stafford started selling produce along the side of the road the year their daughter Margie was born; 55 years ago. Bob Chase had been selling produce in front of his parents house since he was 10 years old. When Margie and Bob got married in 1979 they joined the family business. In 1987 George and Betty moved to FL that's when Bob and Margie took over sole ownership.
In 1993, Bob transitioned from a roadside wagon to an on the farm stand; still using the same wagon. More recently, they have built a permanent roof on the property so that the wagon is protected from the weather.
Chase's Produce is open seasonally, seven days a week bringing you fresh sweet corn, homegrown tomatoes, cantaloupes, watermelons, squash, green beans, peppers, cucumbers, egg plants and much more.
