Greetings…

we are a small organically grown garden farm located in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania growing vegetables and fruits on an acre area of land. In 1991 my wife, Brenda, and I, Mark Baumgardner, along with our two children purchase the property of about 4 acres. We had always planted a large garden for our family; it was always bigger than what we needed it to be. And since, the harvest was always more than enough for us we gave some to neighbors and sold to coworkers.

Changes in gardens happens each season and so does it in life. The opportunity came to us to take our wonderful harvest to a local farmers market. So in 2011 the seeds for “Fileys’ Pride” were planted and by 2012 we officially became a business recognized by the IRS.

Mark, owner/gardener of Fileys’ Pride, has been growing produce since he was a young man on his family farm. He has been bringing his fruits of his labor and his experience to the Dillsburg Farmers Market for 15 seasons. With living in Dillsburg, located in Monaghan township, is ideal for insuring the freshest possible produce for customers at the farmers market.

Fileys’ Pride is committed to providing the freshest organically grown vegetables and fruits for you and your family to enjoy! Growing our vegetables and fruits free from pesticides and chemicals, using Non-GMO seeds, practicing organic methods, harvesting just hours before market opens and living close by Dillsburg allows us to meet and keep our commitment to you.

We participate with Pennsylvania’s food and nutrition service programs FMNP (Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program) and SFMNP (Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program.)
