Vendor - Charles & Susan Planck of Wheatland Vegetable Farms

Since 1973 Charles and Susan Planck of Wheatland Vegetable Farms have been farming in Loudon County. Relying on the most ecologically friendly methods of production available to them, they currently grow vegetables and small fruits on about 35 acres of their 65 acre farm. Mostly college age seasonal workers are hired to work in the fields, and they sell the produce at the market as well. Their attitude and committment towards this form of agriculture is noticed and well-loved by the family.

The Plancks have been coming to the Arlington market since its first year in 1980. Over the years, Wheatland Vegetable Farms has evolved with the growth of the Arlington Courthouse Farmers' Market. In response to their customers' requests and feedback, the Plancks now offer an extraordinary variety of produce. They especially enjoy the friendliness and appreciation demonstrated by their patrons. Fortunately for all of those who enjoy Wheatland Farm's produce, the Plancks are actively planning for the long-term preservation of the farm and its resources.
