Looking to bring the freshest seasonal wholesale produce to your store or stand?

Country Boy is more than a college nickname, though technically, that is where the name came from. Country Boy Produce actually started in a small town in eastern North Carolina. A young farm boy, raised amidst rustling tobacco fields, golden wheat, and endless acres of corn and soybeans, Tim King spent his days working the land. His family farm boasted not only vast fields but also two bustling chicken houses that produced a staggering 10,000 eggs every single day – each one collected by hand with unwavering dedication.

Even as a young man, Tim recognized the unwavering need for vegetable crops. After all, everyone needs to eat but not everyone likes tobacco. He dipped his toes in the world of agriculture with small cucumbers, or pickles, before venturing out to collards, butter beans, and peas.

With diligent perseverance and the heart of an entrepreneur, Tim began supplying his fresh produce to local grocery stores such as Piggy Wiggly, IGA, and Food Lion. But soon enough, college beckoned, and Tim left his farm for higher education.

To fund his academic endeavors, Tim tapped his entrepreneurial spirit once again and opened a fruit stand in Cary, NC, during the summer months. The response was overwhelming, spurring him to unveil a second location for fall mums and pumpkins. Graduation approached swiftly, nudging him toward the crossroads of reality – securing a stable job.

Tim’s passion refused to be tamed, leading him to inaugurate a third location in North Raleigh, specializing in tropical plants sourced from the verdant lands of Florida. But the defining moment arrived when he joined forces with his closest friend and mentor. Together, they expanded Country Boy Produce’s horizons, supplying fresh fruits and vegetables to fruit stand operators spanning from Washington, DC, to South Carolina.

Today, their endeavors have blossomed, extending to the sun-kissed fields of South Florida. They have nurtured enduring relationships with farmers stretching from the lush orchards of South Florida to the rolling hills of West Virginia, and from the verdant plains of Tennessee to the serene landscapes of Kentucky. In addition to fostering local and regional markets, they cultivate their own fresh produce with unwavering dedication, enriching communities with the bounty of Country Boy Produce!
