A sweet start to harvest!

We still need some rain, but our sweetpotatoes are looking beautiful so far! 😍

We’re especially grateful for the hardworking farm workers who carefully hand-harvest each sweetpotato and help bring this crop from our fields to your table.

Here’s to a great harvest season!

Lots of fun is being had for the Barnes Farming team!

Earlier this week we celebrated July & August birthdays with an office birthday party for James, Lupita, and Liz.

Last week, our team gathered to watch Wilson Warbirds Baseball game. It was a great opportunity to spend time with one another outside of the office, meet each other’s families, and support our local minor baseball team.

We’re grateful for these times together and even more grateful for our awesome team!

A year ago, we lost our visionary leader, Johnny Barnes. We know he would be proud of his family and our team for continuing to honor his legacy and keep the business thriving.

Employee Spotlight 🔦

Meet Byron, also known as Chicken around the farm! Bryon joined Barnes Farming 21 years ago.

He started out in the fields harvesting sweetpotatoes and cucumbers, back when we still grew cucumbers. Over time, he transitioned to driving tractors across our to***co, sweetpotato, and peanut fields. He also helps mow our fields and disc sweetpotatoes during harvest.

Byron truly loves driving tractors; it’s his favorite part of the job! In his free time, you can find him fixing cars, welding, or working on anything mechanical.

We're thankful for your hard work and dedication, Byron!
