Since 1906 Dege Garden Center has been supplying vegetable
and grower supplies to area market growers and homeowners. Begining in the late 40's, Al
Dege operated the seed business and trained Katie in the 90's to take over after he
retired. To this day those beautiful, antique seed bins take up an entire wall of the
store. The seed department accounts for a significant part of the family business, and is
now run by George Dege’s wife Katie Rhein-Dege.
Katie
knows the seed business inside and out, and thanks to the reputation of Katie and her seed
crew for their knowledge and access to the best in seed sources, Dege’s has loyal
customers all over the United States who often ignore their own local seed suppliers and
stay on Dege’s shipping list. A significant number of Hmong families come from as far
away as Eau Claire, Green Bay and Madison to pick up seeds for vegetables and greens that
other suppliers don’t provide.
Our company’s seed sources have also expanded from
six suppliers to 27. Dege's also has ongoing relationships with several Farmers Market
growers who give us in-depth analysis and feedback on what we sell.
