About Us
Go directly to the farm that's been in East Syracuse since 1925
Vollmer Farms is a family farm that has been in its current location since 1925. It was purchased by Bennett Vollmer at the age of 25. It was here that he and his wife grew vegetables with the the help of his three sons. Eventually two of the sons took over the farm and also began to grow ornamental plants along with their vegetable starter plants. Bennett's grandson, Dave, now runs the vegetable farm and greenhouses along with some very dedicated employees.

LOCALLY GROWN, CONSISTENTLY CARED FOR PLANTS PROVIDE RELIABLE BEAUTY FOR YOUR HOME!
At Vollmer Farms, our plants are grown and trimmed by hand individually. Every plant receives the personal care you would provide if you started them by seed or seedling in your own greenhouse. They're not shipped in from thousands of miles away . And, because they are grown right here in East Syracuse, they are already acclimated to our CNY weather.
And, when you support a local family farm, you are truly supporting your community. Local farm operations take better care of their employees, support local causes, and are also strong supporters of other locally owned businesses. Your support of our farm makes a difference in our community and in our lives and the lives of our wonderful family farm team.
