Homegrown Produce Is Here!

   

Homegrown Proud

What is local to you? For us, it’s tradition. It's a tradition that's right for the farmer. Right for our customers. And right for Dierbergs – after all, we're a homegrown company too.

The Largest & Freshest Selection of Local Produce

We are proud to give locally-owned family farms a chance to sell their crops locally. Each summer we look forward to the seasonal produce grown right here in Missouri and Illinois.

Local Fields, Local Farmers, Local Deliveries

At Dierbergs, our Homegrown means the produce you purchase has been picked, packed and delivered to our stores in 24 hours or less! Freshness & quality you can see and taste.

Behind the Scenes with Our Experts

Scott Lehmann has worked in the Dierbergs Produce department for over 27 years rising to the role of Director of Produce Operations, following in his father Henry Lehmann's footsteps.

Meet Our Farmer Partners

Dierbergs is proud to support local farmers. What sets our local produce program apart is our network of partners, with some partnerships going back generations.
Rob Relleke

Rob's father, John, started a partnership with Dierbergs almost 40 years ago! After John retired, Rob stepped into his father's role at their family farm.

Mike Ochs

Dierbergs' partnership with Ochs Melon Co is one of the oldest. Ochs has been keeping the Dierbergs produce departments stocked with watermelons for 45 summers!

Mel Stuckmeyer

Mel started farming as a young man and has been growing Homegrown produce for over 70 years! Mel's favorite part of Homegrown is selling his produce to his local neighbors from Dierbergs.

Bob Meyer

Meyer Farms began as a horseradish farm that started growing corn just for our stores. As demand grew, Meyer brought in the Rellekes, family friends, neighbors and farmers, to help supply Dierbergs with local corn.

Bill Bader

Nothing says summer like a sweet, juicy peaches. And these are grown here in state, just north of Missouri's bootheel. Bill's peaches are always popular with our customers, so be sure to get yours before they're gone!

Ben Roberts

Ben Roberts doesn't just sell poultry and eggs! Each Homegrown season, he also provides us with delicious tomatoes too. In the last decade, Dierbergs customers have come to look forward to the arrival of his crop each July.
