The History of Kroegel

Tim Timinsky, a fifth generation Sebasitan native, has owned Kroegel Homestead Produce since 1987. The stand is the oldest produce stand in the area, going back more than 50 years in the same location. Tim believes that quality produce and a friendly staff are the key to the stand's success.

Kroegel not only carries the freshest, and best tasting products supplied by regional and national markets, but also frequently has locally grown, organic, and hydroponic produce, as well.

The stand began in it's current location with one man selling produce out of the back of his truck. This one man mobile produce stand became a fixture in Sebastian and grew in popularity over the years because of the quality of its produce. Looking to retire, the founder, a man named Anderson, sold the stand to Tim in 1987. Tim has always been an old fashioned guy and prefers a life of simple pleasures, keeping his feet planted firmly in the soil that his ancestors tred. Tim loves the fact that local growers bring their crops to Kroegel and enjoys helping keep the local economy alive. The Kroegel staff is like family and strives to keep the quality and consistency of the stand at it's highest possible standard.

Tim is the grandson of Paul Kroegel, who spearheaded the movement to make Pelican Island the first National Wildlife Refuge in the U.S., and subsequently became the first National Wildlife Warden.
