Cultivating Our Mission

“We leverage our resources to create value for rural families through the products and services we provide.”

  1. Heritage

    Family led since 1871, with the judgment only generations on this ground can teach.

  2. Capability

    Soil sampling, custom blends, ginning, seed treatment, and propane, all from one company.

  3. Value

    Quality inputs at honest prices, so the farm makes money year after year.

  4. Care

    Agronomy advice built around your farm, not a catalog.

  5. Community

    When local growers do well, eastern North Carolina does well.
