The farm has been in the family for four generations. In 1910, Oscar Sporri came with his family from Switzerland. He bought the land on which the farm and store now stand, cleared it, and started to farm. Originally, he sold his produce, sausage, and wine at the Farmer's Market in Portland.
In 1987, Oscar's great-grandson Justy Papst started repairing and cleaning up the farm. At first, the business wasn't the main source of income for the Papst family; it was just a sideline while they were restoring it.
When the Papst family first started out, they only had two sawhorses and a piece of plywood. Now they operate a 2,500 sq. ft. store where they sells many products, including all major varieties of fruits and vegetables, other miscellaneous grocery products, and their own flowers.
Currently, Justy's Produce and Flowers is open from June through October and is here ready to serve the community for your produce and flower needs. Justy runs the business with his mother Marie, his wife Marilee, and their two children Justin and Marielle.
