Brett Rhoads
Production Manager,
B.S. Horticulture & Crop Science

I was born 1979 in Circleville and have lived in the area ever since. I received my diploma from Logan Elm H.S. in 1997 and then attended The Ohio State University. At O.S.U. I received my B.S. in horticulture and crop science and with an agricultural economics minor. Currently, I am an Alumni of the Ohio State LEAD program; dedicated to enhancing agricultural leadership.

I have always had an interest in farming particularly in fruit and vegetable production and now most recently in the growing of nursery stock. Today I oversee the day to day operations of our farm/nursery with the help of our great staff. In my division of Rhoads we grow a wide array of fresh produce that is sold mostly wholesale to other retail outlets along with our garden center. Split Rail Nursery (our wholesale tree division) sends most of its goods to the North central and North East parts of the country.
