Our Farming Legacy
Farmer Mike’s journey began in Bonita Springs as a U-Pick farm and roadside stand, offering fresh fruits and veggies that quickly became popular in Southwest Florida. With the support of our community, we expanded and relocated to 26031 Morton Ave. In 2018, recognizing the demand, we established the Foodservice Division to cater to local chefs. Presently, our fleet has grown to over 20 trucks, ensuring deliveries 7 days a week to both the East and West Florida coasts.
Operated by Farmer Mike Sr., Mike Jr. and a strong team of culinary/farming professionals we proudly carry on a tradition spanning 5 generations of farming expertise. With farming deeply rooted in our family's history, dating back to apple orchard and dairy cow farming, we bring over 40 years of experience in growing fruits and vegetables to Southwest Florida.
As we celebrate our 30th anniversary this year, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who has supported us on this incredible journey. We are thrilled for what this season holds and invite you to join us on the farm to experience the fruits of our labor firsthand. Come, be a part of our story, and savor the freshness of Farmer Mike’s!
Farmer Mike’s Farmers
Michael Clevenger Sr. (Farmer Mike)
Founder, President
Farmer Mike has been growing fruits and vegetables in south Florida for over 40 years. Farmer Mike Sr. and Farmer Jim (His Father) moved to south florida in the early 1970’s from Virginia where Farmer Jim had previously farmed all of this life. Farmer Jim raised Farmer Mike and his brothers on their Apple Orchard where the brothers all learned the value of hard work, dedication, and how to run a tractor at a very young age. Farmer Jim’s passion was passed on to the family and still shines through their hard work everyday.
