Our Farm

Goodness grows in North Carolina.

Welcome to our farm. We're located on Hwy 42 West, about 10 miles outside of Wilson, North Carolina, in the town of Kenly. From our own greenhouses and fields we grow, harvest, cool, and ship produce to wholesale buyers across the region.

Everything starts with a plant in our soil — we raise our own transplants, tend the crops through the season, and pack in the field so what leaves our cooler is as fresh as it gets.

What We Grow

Fresh crops, in season.

A rotating harvest through spring, early summer, and fall — grown, packed, and shipped from our Kenly farm.

Cabbage

Our spring cabbage season runs from the end of May through June; the fall crop begins in late November and ends the last of December. Harvested and packed into bins right in the field before cooling and shipping.

Field to Cooler

Packed in the field, cooled in hours.

After cutting, our cabbage is placed on a conveyor that empties into bins, which are transported straight to our on-site cooling facility. Minimizing the time between harvest and cooling is how we protect quality, shelf life, and food safety on every load.

It's a simple promise we've built the whole operation around — picked fresh, packed fresh, shipped fresh… always.

GAPCertified

Food Safety

GAP certified in every crop we grow.

Our facility is GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) certified across all of the crops we grow. Our packing facility and fields are audited once a year to renew our certificate — so we can better meet our customers' food-safety needs in the produce industry.
