Glenroy Farm is the home of the McGregor family and McGregor’s Produce. It’s a 200-acre working farm owned by the McGregor family since 1856. Five generations of McGregor’s have farmed there, and the current crew spans three generations. The McGregor family is proud to be involved in the local community. Deb says they feel that by giving back they say “thank you” for all the business local patrons have given them. The family thinks taking part is essential to a healthy and strong community. Providing donations to local events or charities is how they feel that they can help to achieve this goal.

Deb McGregor tells myFM news that two of the biggest challenges they face constantly are the weather and staffing levels, like most businesses today. She goes on to say that have that interaction with customers or community organizations every day is the driving force behind what they do.
