The Sullivan family has been farming land in eastern North Carolina since the 1800s. They are a fifth generation farming family with a passion for agriculture. With over 4,000 acres of sweet potatoes, cotton, and other crops they're not just farmers, they're experts. Growing 700 acres of sweet potatoes and developing strong relationships with other farmers gives them the ability to provide hand-harvested and locally grown sweet potatoes year round.Owner, Scott Sullivan, has enjoyed farming since the day he was big enough to push his John Deere tractor toys around in his parents’ shag carpet living room. As years passed, and his parents continued to grow the farming operation Scott’s passion for the land never wavered. Scott joined the farm full-time in 1999 after graduating from North Carolina State University. A few years and lots of acres later, he married his wife Katie in 2006. Together they are raising three daughters who are quickly following in their father’s footsteps. Watching the sixth generation take interest in becoming stewards of land like their ancestors before them brings immense joy. Family has always been important to them, and that is the reason they are grateful to have the opportunity to feed families high quality sweet potatoes.
