The Produce Station

The Produce Station had it's beginnings in 1979 as a response to the Ann Arbor community's desire for higher quality produce. Back then, the building was a wholesale warehouse for Frog Holler Produce Co. In July of 1986, The Produce Station was born from the vision of founder Rick Peshkin. In the beginning, his vision was to create a store to sell, educate and turn customers on to the highest quality produce. Eventually this vision grew to include selling a variety of quality ingredients to make a great meal at home and also cooking with these great ingredients in our kitchen and catering. The vision that started back then remains strong today under the leadership of owner Craig Schmidt, a little bigger, and a little more refined. Craig got his start working at his parents store, Schmidt’s Roadside in Plymouth, MI. Over the years he learned everything there is to know about produce, plants and running a business.
