Pine Knot Farms

Stanley Hughes is a third generation African-American farmer known as one of the first in the state to grow certified organic tobacco. He is also known as a progressive farmer, one who has recovered from changes in the tobacco industry and stood up to competition from corporate farms.

In July 2003, Gourmet Magazine featured our collard greens in their annual produce issue, lauding them as some of the best in the country. In the fall season, we are known for growing beautiful potatoes - the well-known red Beauregards and the white O’Henrys – that are perfect for holiday pies and casseroles.
