Welcome to The Olde Garden Shack.
Family owned and operated since 1989.
Since our small beginning in 1974 raising cows, pigs and field corn, our family has grown and with it so has our farm. In 1980 we began raising truck crops (sweet corn, cantaloupes, tomatoes, and all of the good summer stuff). This is when we began to become a sustainable farm before the term was even used. The animals are fed from the damaged or extra produce and they in turn fertilized our soil. We pedaled the produce all over Cincinnati, OH. In 1985, to extend our seasons, we planted our first flowers selling them along side of the produce. Then, in 1989, we opened our first permanent retail location in the middle of a corn field on Hwy 46 in Batesville, IN.
Batesville, Indiana

Milford, Ohio
Although we are always creating new wonders, the one thing that has stayed the same is our desire to become more sustainable and to provide our customers with the highest quality fresh produce, bedding plants, perennials, designer baskets, and containers. We hope that you will come and visit us at one of our locations this year.

In 2006, we made our biggest addition with the opening of a small satellite shop located in Milford, on the east side of Cincinnati, just 15 minutes from downtown. Although we may look like a roadside stand we carry a vast selection at all times, and are happy to bring special orders the very next day from the home farm in Batesville.
