August marks 75 years for Harrell's

The horticultural distributor and producer of chemicals and fertilizers credits its longevity to its focus on several core values.


LAKELAND, Fla. – On August 1, 1941 Ormond and Lucile Harrell first opened for business on the corner of Pine Street and Florida Avenue in Lakeland, Fla. With their feed store, the young couple hoped to provide quality products and friendly, professional service. Seventy-five years and two generations later, Harrell’s maintains the same aspirations.

Today, in addition to being one of the nation’s largest distributors of branded fungicides, herbicides and insecticides, Harrell’s produces custom blended fertilizers, liquid fertilizers, specialty liquids, and soil surfactants for the golf course, sports turf, landscape management, horticulture, and specialty agriculture industries.

Harrell’s guarantees stringent quality control procedures, tight manufacturing specifications and careful selection of raw materials for each product that carries the Harrell’s name. Products are sold all across the United States, the Caribbean, Central and South America, the Middle East and along the Pacific Rim through sales representatives providing personal service in local communities. 

Third generation owner, Jack Harrell, Jr, has grown the privately held company to serve more than 10,000 customers through 18 locations and 320 employees.

Growth and success aside, the Harrell’s family remains focused on its mission to:

  • Serve, honor and glorify God.
  • Create an environment to empower and invest in our employees.
  • Provide consistent quality products and service through innovative solutions.
  • Create and grow loyal relationships through trust and integrity.
  • Sustain growth through planned expansion.
