Okray Family Farms is a multi-generational, family-owned agricultural company founded in 1905 that has grown from a small trading business to a major producer of potatoes, sweet corn, green beans, peas, soy, and maize across thousands of acres in central Wisconsin. The company not only grows but also packs and ships its own fresh produce, maintaining complete quality control over the supply chain rather than acting as a broker. Okray’s long history includes innovation in farming practices such as reverse hydraulic irrigation, contributing to both productivity and sustainability. With a strong commitment to food safety, customer service, and year-round competitive supply, Okray has earned recognition as one of the region’s leading growers.
