We have quite a few Lukes in the extended Luke’s Organic family: children and adults who have been diagnosed with Celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. We all got tired of gnawing through snacks that looked like hamster litter, tasted like tree bark and were riddled with ingredients we couldn’t pronounce. What’s satisfying about that? Nothing. So we did something about it. Our snacks are organic, allergen-free and decidedly delicious for kids, grown ups and those weird ones in between.

McGruder Farms is a family-owned full scale all natural regenerative farm. The
land has been in the McGruder family since 1877 and it had been passed down by the
ancestors and the indigenous people who are the original land stewards. Today the
land is alive and thriving. It brings forth life in multiple ways that include nutritious
food for both man and animal.

​

Growing and sourcing non chemical and non GMO fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, and
other edibles while employing local residents and sharing the art of farming with the
surrounding community and providing a nutritious alternative direct from our farm to
your home, restaurant, farmer's market, and additional outlets.

​

The hallowed land is a sanctuary of peace, healing, grounding and harmony that is felt by all who come to connect with mother earth by walking the grounds, observing the multispecied wildlife on the nature trails and visiting the source of the abundant all-natural food that nurtures our community and beyond.

I am Marie Antoinette McGruder the granddaughter of Marvin McGruder and the great granddaughter of Charles McGruder Jr. He is the original owner of McGruder Land acquired after being freed from slavery as a result of the Emancipation Proclamation of 1862. Starting business ventures and materializing a vision is in my DNA. I have always pursued my dreams and my passions as they have evolved over my lifetime. One of my biggest dreams from the age of eight has been to farm on the land that has been in my family for nearly 160 years. Today I own 10 acres and control more than 74 acres of farmable land and my vision is to develop an infrastructure to grow and market highly desirable nutritious non chemically grown non-GMO produce and other edibles right here on our McGruder family land.
