Woody Swink, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at McCall Farms
South Carolina’s agriculture climate is perfect for growing successful agribusinesses. For 180 years, we’ve partnered with farmers across the Southeast with the goal of delivering the freshest, highest-quality foods to our customers. As McCall Farms has grown, so have the local farmers we support.
Longtime South Carolina-based firm McCall Farms continues to grow, supporting farmers and driving agribusiness industry growth around the region.
For 180 years, this enduring, dynamic company has been cultivating food in South Carolina. McCall Farms was established in 1838 with a 2,000-acre farm in Effingham, SC. Since that time, the company has built a thriving canning and freezing operation, acquiring a number of nationally-recognized brands, including Margaret Holmes, Peanut Patch Boiled Peanuts, Glory Foods and Bruce’s Yams. McCall Farms today employs more than 1,000 people (including temporary labor) in its one million-square-foot manufacturing facility in Effingham. And, with the announcement of a $23 million expansion in 2016, it’s clear that this company and its Florence County operations will only continue to grow.
