A look at our past…

KME Farms started building in 1985 with just a few singular hoop houses, three of which still stand today behind our current office building. Soon after opening, KME farms entered a business relationship with Old Paths and Marv’s, creating Opel Growers. The name was decided by taking the first two letters from Old Path and combining it with the first two letters from the last name Elders.

Expanding for our future!

Today, Opel Growers is a family-owned wholesale greenhouse encompassing over 20 acres of land including over 12 acres onsite & 3 acres off-site of production & warehouse space.  We specialize in producing over 1,000 perennial varieties, one of the largest variety lists available in the industry! We are not limited to only perennials, we also supply shrubs, ground covers, herbs, vegetables, hanging baskets, annual patio pots, and mums. Throughout the years, the team at Opel Growers has curated a product list so extensive we can be a ‘one-stop shop’ for many of our customers. We supply farmers’ markets, garden centers, and independent retailers throughout the midwest.
