Our Process
Our Beginning
The Lone Oak Name
The name “Lone Oak Organics” is derived from the property in which our greenhouses are located. The property, which has belonged to Adam’s family for decades, has an Oak tree that stands alone. This lone Oak Tree has been on the property since the Civil War and has inspired us. At Lone Oak Organics, we see a future where agriculture will allow trees like our “lone oak” to keep on living for centuries.
Company Story
Lone Oak Organics originated as an idea among a group of students, at St. Louis University. The idea and plan was thought of as part of an entrepreneurship class. The business plan was followed through by the founders, Adam Theurer and Alex Wander. The values and lessons learned in the classroom are still present in the development and progression of Lone Oak Organics today.
