The genesis of Nash Produce began in 1977 as a large farming and produce packing and shipping operation focused on cucumbers. In 2006, a group of local growers recognized the need for a packing facility, which led to the purchase of Nash Produce. Since that time, the company has transitioned away from cucumbers to a more singular focus on sweet potatoes.

Nash Produce has been a member of the Southeast Produce Council and has been participating in Southern Innovations since the show’s origin. Since the SEPC show brings together a large number of its customers in one venue, it allows Nash Produce the opportunity to spend quality time with individuals in which the team normally spends many hours communicating with over phone, email or video chat.    

With continued optimism in the upward sweet potato industry, Nash Produce continues to improve and grow its Nashville, NC-based facility to include additional storage space.
