The Market at Grelen has a rich backstory.
The Market at Grelen is owned and operated by Leslie & Dan Gregg and Zeke Galvin. It was started by Dan in 1990, and as it grew, Dan hired Zeke to be his business partner. Soon, they purchased a 200-acre lot. This lot would later be added to, to create Grelen Nursery! In 2010, the idea to turn this Nursery into a true destination was born. Soon, the partners began renovations and constructions. Once completed, Dan brought his wife Leslie on board to help finish bringing their vision to life. In April of 2013, the market opened, and the public fell in love. As popularity grew, they added more amenities, like the reception tent and the café. Finally, they completed their vision by adding a 3.9 mile walking trail through the property. The hard work these owners put into their property paid off, because it is absolutely stunning.
