Six solar fields provide renewable energy to keep production going for future generations.

Mack Farms

Mack Farms

Lake Wales, Florida

The Mack family has been growing freshness since 1967. Their relentless dedication to seedless watermelon has made them pioneers in central Florida. Since the mid-1980s, they’ve been famous for their potatoes—some of the first to be produced each year. Mack Farms is an independent family-owned farm that grows, packs, and delivers everything they produce.

Flavor 1st

Flavor 1st

Homestead, Florida

The produce legacy of Flavor 1st began in 1798 with James Noble Johnson in Western North Carolina. Eight generations later, his descendants continue as industry growers, packers, and shippers especially known for their high-quality tomatoes. In 2003, Kirby Johnson and Mitch Gaither founded Flavor 1st with family member Brian Rose. Today, their operation has a winter farm in Homestead, Florida, to maximize freshness all year round.
