Northampton Growers, headquartered in Cheriton, VA, has operations in Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Virginia and Florida. It’s the latter that the company currently is focusing on for the important spring season.
Between November and June every year, the Florida growers work with peppers, squash, beans, cabbage, cucumbers, eggplant and corn. While the company works all winter, the spring deal starts about the first week of April, starting with cucumbers and squash, followed by peppers.
