Ken Corbett Farms LLC
Family's seventh generation runs vegetable production
Since 1972, Ken Corbett Farms LLC, has been growing vegetables commercially in the Lake Park, Ga., area. Built on a commitment of high quality and safe produce, the company is now run by the seventh generation of the Corbett family. "We're an ever-changing company," said Eric Bolesta, sales representative for the company. The company is in the process of branching into new product lines that will bring a variety of products to its consumers and diversity to its crop lines. The farm harvests nearly 2000 acres annually of assorted vegetables, including long hot peppers, hot wax peppers, zucchini squash, eggplant and bell peppers. Although the company may be branching out into new markets, it does do not forget the core values that it was built on, the main one being food safety. All products are sanitized and packaged in a climatecontrolled environment and food safety is taught to employees through training. The company was inspired to join Georgia Grown in part because of its redesigned brand. "We decided to join because we liked the new logo. It seemed inviting not just to us but to all our consumers as well. We actually use it on all of our packaging," Bolesta said. "It seems like a beneficial way for all of us to gain exposure and mentions at larger events."
