From Leighty's Farm Market & Flower World Greenhouse
Leighty's Farm Market, Inc. has been one of the area's best-known landmarks for over 100 years. Founded by Lloyd and Harv Leighty, around 1909. The market started its growth spurt around 1960, when Lloyd’s son Don returned from his service in the military and took over. He immediately started expanding the produce business, growing it in stages. He then added a giant greenhouse to sell bedding plants in 1976. The adage of “treat the customer the way you want to be treated and stock nothing but the freshest product always with an eye on quality” has paid off. The Market has thrived through the decades and added many product lines over the years. In 1993, Don's daughter, Donna, and husband Brian took the market over to continue the tradition.
