At Bottomley Farms, we believe in growing more than just crops — we grow legacies, nurture communities, and sow seeds for a better tomorrow. As a proud family-owned and operated farm, our roots trace back to the late 1960s when we began with a single, humble crop: cabbage. From those early days, our passion for agriculture and commitment to quality has helped us evolve into one of the most dynamic farming operations in the Southeast.

When the Fowler family heads to Anaheim, CA, for the International Fresh Produce Association’s Global Produce & Floral Show, they’ll be bringing more than just apples.
