Trail Creek Gardens

A wide variety of fresh, in-season vegetables and fruits, including pie pumpkins, late spring through fall. Soup and salsa kits; homemade salsas, pasta sauces, and fermented hot sauces; grass-fed and finished beef; and other items are available year-round.

About half of the produce is grown in three high tunnels, one measuring 30ʹ × 50ʹ and the other two measuring 12ʹ × 20ʹ. The remaining produce is grown in an outdoor plot measuring 75ʹ × 100ʹ. Co-owner Tom Sams says their small family business now provides important side income, as his main job associated with the coal, oil, and natural gas industries has slowed in recent years.

the Trail Creek Gardens roadside stand on Highway 50 one mile south of Gillette; fresh produce is also served in dishes at several local restaurants
Owners:
Casey and Tom Sams, and children Carter and Josephine

556 Highway 50, Gillette
