About us

When my dad, Tom Owens and his longtime partner, Donna, decided to retire in 2011 they gave my wife and I The Stand. They knew we had the same passion, to get the freshest produce to our community at the lowest price possible. We love to support our local farmers by buying direct from then when in season.

In 2015 my dad passed away which motivated us to work even harder. We wanted him to be proud of what we had accomplished with the business. We think he would be!

We’ve recently moved our Satsuma location a mile up the rode to a more secure building with cement floors. 1036 S. US Highway 17, Satsuma FL. In 2018 we opened a second location at the Palatka State Farmers Market 225 S. US Highway 17, East Palatka, FL.
The Stand has come a long way. From a tarp over dirt to real buildings, refrigeration, air conditioning ect. We not only have fruits and vegetables, but we also carry a large assortment of Jams, Jelly, Jarred Peaches, Peaches, Honey, Pickles, Organic Eggs, Chips and a large selection of Salsas.

For the boaters and tree workers a large selection of rope.

Our goals are to provide the freshest produce possible, Organic when we can, and to provide the best friendliest customer service around. We truly hope you enjoy our produce. If you ever have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate in reaching out to myself or LuAnne.

Sincerely, Matt and LuAnne – Owners of the Stand
