Jones Farm, Home of RTP Farm Fresh Subscription Program

The Jones Farm is a fourth generation African-American owned and operated family farm located in Snow Hill, North Carolina. We have grown traditional crops like corn, wheat, cotton, soybeans and tobacco for over a century, and our family realizes that if we want to keep our farm, that we need to change to meet our customers' needs! We have learned that people want to eat fresh veggies and fruits, not cotton and tobacco!

We are also transitioning our land to organic production over the next three growing seasons. (more...)
