Our farm, established in 1909 by William Henry Folks and Addie Lee Pedrick, has been faithfully maintained by our family for five generations. Over the years, we have cultivated a range of crops, including sugarcane, which was processed into cane syrup using our family-owned cane mill, as well as corn, hay, seed crops, peanuts, cantaloupe, vegetables, livestock, and watermelons. We remain committed to commercially producing and selling watermelons, and during May and June, customers can purchase our fresh produce, including sweet corn, cantaloupe, and various vegetables, directly from our farm stand. In an effort to adapt to the changing agricultural industry, we opened our seasonal farm stand and agritourism business in the spring of 2019. We warmly invite our guests to partake in an authentic farm experience. Upon arrival, visitors are treated as family members, free to explore our fields, pick a bouquet of flowers, and enjoy the fresh air. We genuinely appreciate your support, as every visit and purchase significantly contributes to our goal of preserving this farm for future generations.
What you will find at our produce stand is our homegrown seeded and seedless watermelons, yellow meat watermelons, cantaloupe, sweet corn, zipper peas, squash varieties all grown here by us. We do bring in other local produce such as locally grown peaches, blueberries, tomatoes and more to have a wide variety of produce to choose from to make us a one-stop shop.
At Cannon Farms, our mission is to provide our customers with the freshest, high quality produce and goods. We have freshly baked sourdough bread available brought in multiple times a week. Local honey, locally made cane syrup, locally made vanilla, beef tallow products and other baked goods. We also offer a wide variety of canned goods which our customers love!
